Outreach.
way too much to tell on this short rationed time on the internet. im in the boonies in a place called Hopevale. weve traded palm trees and park benches for red dirt and stray dogs.
But its beautiful. the kids here are absolutly beautiful. "miss! miss! spin me around again! carry me carry me!" dispite the runny noses snotty hands and gaping sores. i love them
hopevale has around 500 people. weve been invited in so nicely which is suprising for this kind of town. you have to be personally invited or else your not allowed in and by the grace of God weve gotten permission from the elders here.
since being here its pretty random. we went from serving in Ingham and Cairns to being served here in Hopevale. i mean theyre taking us EVERYwhere. the beaches. the colored sands. everyones farms for BBQs, being served left and right.
Today we did our first full day of ministry in the schools helping out the teachers. i taught kids how to play guitar and how to do math. all the while looking after the "bad kids" who were climbing on the roof. literally.
busy busy day. but thats ok. I love every minute of it and even though im exhausted stinky and dirty. its been fabulous.

You sound so happy =D I'm so glad you're having fun. I bet it's such a great feeling at the end of the day when you're all dirty and exhausted, knowing you accomplished something much more than anyone could sitting at home in front of their TV's. :D I envy the time you're having and I hope one day I can run amok out there.
Robot HUG!!! <3
Peace out.
Oh btw, this is Josh. >_>
