Queen's Birthday Update

A gorgeous sunset at Wellington Point

Things have been going better since my last posts. I've been praying that God changes my mindset and attitude when it comes to socializing. While I do believe being an introvert is in my character, I believe that God can change me and make me all things to all people in order to glorify Him more. Today is the Queen's Birthday holiday, so it's been mentioned that we might go to the Australian zoo later to see some animals! 

A general update since the last day-to-day post: Most stuff has been the same. We've done a couple of RE classes and Supa Clubs. During two of the RE classes with the grade seven-ers, Mrs. Jenkins asked Polly and I all sorts of questions about our faith and why we chose to believe in God. It took us a bit off guard because she didn't tell us she was going to do that, but it was neat to be able to share with them. The teacher asked us to explain the Trinity...um do we have a couple hours or more to go into the deep theology of it and just confuse them more...we just explained the gist of it and that it is a complicated thing that is just part of the mystery of God. Other than that we worked in the office. I put together the registration forms for Young Adults Camp and am working on redoing a brochure that goes in the visitor packets. They figured out that I'm good with computers, so I think they'll be having me doing a lot of publication stuff while I am here...which is perfectly fine with me.

Polly and I attended an Australian wedding ceremony on Saturday. It is a bit different than an American wedding, and everyone was asking if it made me want to have my wedding...I'm ready to have mine, but I don't want to plan it though I'm realizing that I will have to start at some point. We changed homes yesterday. It was kind of sad because I felt like I was basically part of the Heinrich family, but we don't want to burden them...plus it is good to get to know other families in the church and to see their dynamic. 

That's all for now, hopefully there will be some cool pictures up later from the zoo!
