Blue.

A blue washroom. I just thought I'd post this one up cuz I've never seen this before. This was taken at a library in downtown Perth. What I was told was that there's alot of drug users in this neighborhood. They light the washrooms with neon blue lights so that drug users can't find their veins, and so discourages them from getting their fix in the washrooms.

Learn something new everyday.

I'll post a longer blog later. This will have to do for now :)

God Bless

Higher...

Sometimes we are suspicious that God will as us to do something we don't want to do, or sacrifice something we hold dear, but we have to realize that God's intentions for us are totally good. He waants to give us life and life abundantly!

Just something that hit me this week in lectures. =)

Finally! Some pictures!

Hi Hi again from the beautiful land down under.

Its been raining and cold for the last week, but finally its warming up and the sun is shining. I can't wait till summer actually hits, they say that the sun is so intense, that you can get sunburned within 15 minutes of being outside. CRAZY!

Anyways, i'll put in a lil pictographical timeline of what has happened up to this point. Its pretty hard to upload pics to the net, so picture selection is quite limited.

Here we go!



Sept 27-29 Flying to australia. 30 hours of travelling and about 23 hours actually in the air.



Here's 2 pics of the city of Perth. And yes, that is the downtown. Pretty small hey? The city itself is hugely spread out, but the downtown is pretty small, for a city of 1.4 million ppl.


Sarah and I have met heaps of new ppl, its funny how we can meet and develop really deep relationships with new ppl, but sometimes we don't even know things like their last name! But its great and the friends we are making are awesome!


This is a picture done by one of the staff (his name is nathan too!) Its kinda like the theme for the dts. If you can't see it in the picture it says "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts higher than your thoughts"



These are just some pics I took while we were walking around in the evening.

Thanks for reading, miss you guys all! Comment if you're bored!

PERTH!!!

OK...so i dunno what happened to my last post...it seems to have dissapeared. So for those of you who missed out:

1. we've arrived in perth safely.
2. sarah's luggage arrived one day late.
3. perth is a beautiful city...only if its sunny.
4. DTS starts today!

So far, our DTS is around 65 people. I came to australia thinking I'd meet heaps of aussies, and pick up the accent :). Turns out there's only 2 australians doing DTS. There are heaps of ppl from the US & Europe though.

Suprisingly there are 2 girls from edmonton, one goes to The Canopy (esther if u read this, her name starts with an L) The other is from spruce grove, but she doesn't know the Hua's.

I've been meeting so many new people here, ontop of trying to remember the 65 names of the ppl in DTS, the base is around 200ish people, and its like a family. Its really neat just talking to people and hearing their backgrounds.

I'm really excited to see what God has in store for the next six months, and scared at the same time of what he can do. Its weird.

Anyways. I'm off to bed.

until next time,
nate
