It's crunch time people. 3 days until I leave my wonderful family and friends here. So with that I figured I would post a few photos of my last 3 months. Please keep in mind I have heaps and it takes a while to upload them onto here so I will be posting a few at a time.

9 days and counting!

Hey everyone,

We are back at the base. It was a long trip but better than our trip from Tingha to Fingal...that trip the van lost a fan belt and then from Fingal home the trailer on the same van got a flat tire... luckily I wasn't in that van at any point. Fingla/Tweed Heads was good, we did bible distribution, went to a bible study group where we played Pictionary and my group came in second but it was sooooo close...our group almost had it....sigh. It was a good game. It rained the whole time! and I mean rained. At one point it was for 15 hours straight. The last night we had a student night while the leaders had their time together and we decided that since we were leaving at 4:30am the next morning we would pull an all-nighter...well it seemed like a good idea until nature decided they wanted to hang out too. A bird flew in the building, three huge spiders (the size of my palm) decided to show themselves, a moth kept coming in after I would put it outside, and a caterpillar was inching along my leader's pillow. An eventful night. Back at the base we are getting back into our routine with morning work duties and starting debrief. We are still trying to handle the head lice situation, praise the Lord I haven't gotten it and I keep praying that's how it stays but now we are also dealing with bed bugs in some of the girls' beds....yuck!
Tomorrow is that start of debrief and then on Sunday evening we are helping with the new DTS opening night. It will be fun and it's exciting to be apart of another DTS beginning...seems like just last month we were arriving and having our opening night. Crazy to think I'm coming home in about a week.
Eilidh is back with us!! Horray! She is much much better, thank you all that prayed! Please pray for me - this chest cold is driving me crazy because it's just a bad cough...no stuffy nose or anything...sigh. And also for my stomach...it's getting better but still not there yet.
I miss you all and can't wait to see you soon! Please continue to keep my team in your prayers!

Cheers,
Sarah

Week 23 of 24

Cheers! I know it's been a while but we haven't had internet....or any technology for that matter. We are in Tweed Heads/Fingal Head for our last week of outreach. It's crazy to think that we have one week left - debrief week when - when we are done here. Last week in Tingha was absolutely incredible. We prayed for a man who lost his leg from the knee down when we was 7 years old and Janine and I felt it grow an inch in our hands!! Such an interesting experience! Then we had a couple days of bible distribution, prayer walks, church services, and I helped lead two people to Christ!
This week is a day by day thing since our coming to this area was unexpected...our real location was cancelled. It has rained constantly since we've been here but the fact that the beach is in our back yard makes everything alright.
I'll update again when we are back at the base.
Please pray for me - I have a cold and my stomach issue is acting up and I am having trouble keeping food down.

Cheers,
Sarah
