I'm here!

Hi friends and family! I arrived in Sydney today and am getting all settled in at the base. It is ridiculously hot here--apparently I arrived in the middle of one of the worst heat waves they've had all year. I met a few of my classmates and leaders today. Our quarters are pretty tight right now, but apparently we're going to be moving into a new location in the next few weeks here, which will be nice.

The flight was SUUUUUUUPER long! 14 hours from LA to Sydney! I've never wanted to get off a plane so badly in all my life! Right now, I'm trying my best to stay up until at least 8:00 pm to fight the jetlag, but I'm fading pretty fast (and it's only 2:15pm)!

Please be praying for me. Leaving home was really hard for me, and I need the Lord's help to remember that this is where he has called me to and that he always blesses obedience to his will. Pray for comfort and peace in the Lord, and be praying for our team too--that we would all mesh wll together.

Love you all!

P.S.
Pictures will be coming soon when I have a little more time--I got some great ones from the plane!
