We Made It!

After 3 different planes and about 18 hours of flying, we made it to Australia!! The flights weren't that bad, though it is strange that we lost an entire day of our lives (today is the 11th and we left yesterday--on the 9th!). Of course, we'll gain it back when we return. Anyway, everyone is absolutely exhausted, but we're trying to stay awake until tonight so the jet lag won't be so bad. I've got pics, but no way to get them to online just yet. I'll try to get them posted tonight. No kangaroos yet, but it's just a matter of time!

We arrived at 6:30 this morning--it felt like 6 pm! We went straight to Geoff & Denise Miller's place for breakfast, then on to the campus. Today, we've taken a tour of Mueller Community Church and Mueller College....so far! We sat in on the staff devotional this morning with the Mueller College employees and shared morning tea with them. I'm sure when I'm thinking more clearly--you know, a little less tired--I'll have some entertaining words to share. Until then, this is all I can muster! We're having a great time. The Roudkovski kiddos have made friends and have already been giving Mueller College uniforms so they'll blend in if they decide to play with the school kids while we're here. Until next time....!
