Home

Shira is officially home. That is right, i am home. But there is not much time for relaxing, as my sisters wedding is in a week. There is much to do with helping my sister move her stuff into the new appartment or avoiding the unpacking of my bags. Which i have to do soon, due to the fact that next week we have a guest in my room. I was actually planning on unpacking this afternoon, but decided to watch a few reruns of gilmor girls instead. Though now i am really feeling i should probably get started or it will never get done at all. Tomorrow my dad and little sister will come home and various other things will begin to occur to take up my time. My sisters wedding will come and go, but then i will start work and hanging out with friends. I could probably avoid unpacking for the rest of my life if i wanted to, but the fact of the matter is, i do want it done. So now i must go, but before i do, I would like to thank all you guys who supported me in prayer and/or finances while i was away. May God Bless you in all you do.

Almost Home

So i have been back in brisbane australia for two weeks now. Its been really good to have this time to stop and really reflect on what we have learnt, and how much we have been through these last six months. Tomorrow night will be our "Graduation" dinner and then the next morning will come with many goodbyes, as people begin to leave for home. It will be hard to say goodbye to all my friends, not knowing when i will get the chance to seeing any of them again. Yet i know i am ready for the next thing that God puts before me, and looking forward to seeing everyone back home. As well as my sisters wedding.

Back in Australia

I have now been back in Australia for a few days. It was hard to leave Poipet, and then Cambodia. I really loved it there. I am really missing the moto rides.
My last two weeks were filled with ministry up in poipet. I got to teach some more English as well as our team helped put in some cement for a sports centre. They are going to use it to reach out the the community (its in the middle of a slum). After we left Cambodia we got a chance to see Singapore for three days. A few of us went to the night safari which was really cool. It was quite a culture shock from Cambodia to Singapore, given that Cambodia is the poorest country in Asia and Singapore is the richest. Yet I was still able to enjoy it, even though we weren't there very long. A family let us stay in their apartment, because they were away, and it had a pool that we were able to use.
Being back in Australia, and seeing everyone again has been really nice. Its really cool to see how everyone has changed and all the cool stories each team has, from their own outreachs. I didn't realize how much I missed some of them until I saw them again. Its going to be hard to say goodbye to them in two weeks, not knowing when I will see all of them again. Though at the moment it is just nice to hangout with them again. Thats all for now. God Bless
