Hello Everyone
Thanks to someone who has continuously reminded me in the last few days to update my blog I am now updating it. So lets see last week I worked a lot that’s for sure pretty much everyday except Thursday went I went to the Royal Show again!! Yes I know twice in one week that seems questionable but this time I got to see all the family type stuff like the pavilions, animals and some of the shows. So a very good day overall.
Friday night we decided to go play poker rather then going to Bible club. Nah just kidding the club was actually cancelled still because of school holidays. And then Saturday was good fun – we had fish and chips on the jetty by the foreshore in Rockingham and the sunset was beautiful upon the ocean. You just have to see it because no picture or painting could ever do it justice.
Sunday was busy as well. It was the minister’s birthday and I actually then met the minister as well and there was a big coffee social at church. And at night was a big games night for a lot of us people and that was good fun as well.
This past week (till now anyway) has been good fun as well. Working lots but that’s ok at least I am making money so its all good. But yeah been out to people’s houses getting to more lots of them but I think I am finally settling in and finding my place so that’s pretty cool.
Anyways better go again
Miss you all and hope to hear from you

Fab Weekend
Hey y’all
How is you all doing? I am doing absolutely fantastic at the moment that’s for sure. I just had an awesome weekend and now you are all going to be stuck there reading about it.
It was called a congress weekend and that meaning I guess more studying involved – as there was no formal entertainment planned (but we were pretty good on planning our own). So Friday night we had an introduction speech to the book of Ecclesiastes and then for the remainder of the week were 3 big workshops (which in Canada aren’t really workshops but rather a speech and discussion) led by Rev.Vandelden as a summary of the book of Ecclesiastes. He was a very powerful speaker and used Canadian analogies, which made me feel right at home.
Saturday after noon we had a big break in-between workshops so we went to the beach and guess what – I got sunburned!! Obviously (only and we were only there for like a couple hours too yet but whatever. It was good fun and then I played poker before the big barbecue dinner (no money involved I promise!)
On the Sunday evening we had a big sing-a-long night with praise and worship music with the Bergsma band. It was really cool – they are so musically and vocally talented it was incredible and reminded me a little of Every Breath or the Guido Benefit concert so pretty cool.
Monday moring was the last workshop and the closing of the weekend so overall the weekend was an absolute blast and met some more people and got to know some other people a little more as well.
Then Monday afternoon was so fun because we went to the Royal Perth Show it was awesome - the rides were really good espeically for a fair and the displays and shows were such a laugh. We went with about 10 people and yeah had a great ole time. Then because it was the holiday because it was the queen's birthday huge firworks went on as well. And it was so beaufitul man they did an awesome job for that.
But now my exciting weekend has come to an end and I must get going into work again
Have a great week everyone
