As I begin writing today it's difficult for me to believe that I've only been in Fremantle for less than two weeks. It really seems much longer than that right now because I'm still processing all the changes and up until this weekend really didn't feel like my normal self here. I guess it has to do with the whole changing of cultures, etc, and just getting used to things.
And oh yes... I don't think I've mentioned that I'm not actually living in Perth, but in a smaller town called Fremantle that is very close to Perth. From what I've seen of it so far it's pretty cool--even on rainy days like today.
Hopefully the weather will clear up tomorrow because it's Anzac Day, and we're planning a day out at King's Park. ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. The day they celebrate marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces in WWI. There are some pretty good cookies they make here, called Anzac biscuits, and I can't wait to eat some tomorrow :)
Sunday night I had my first time with the kids, which was good--aside from one of the toddlers screaming because she didn't want to stay with me! That reminds me that I need to make another clarification... The church I'm working with here is not Japanese! Although I was originally supposed to be working with a Japanese church, and MTW has one in Perth, I am working with a very new church plant that meets in the house of the pastor's family. To some of you Southwest folks I'm sure this sounds a bit familiar :)
Please continue to pray for the church here, especially the younger generation that they will just have a passion for sharing their faith and see that as a priority in their lives. And just pray for me as I continue to build relationships within the church and with others as well.

Glad that your dad sent an email out with a reminder about your blog. It was great to catch up, and I'll be praying for you.
It is good to know you are settled a bit. The girls at the office ask about you often. Gary and I are and will continue to pray for you and your mission field. We love you girl!
