The news is good! Our team arrived safely in Brisbane today following a long and (fortunately!) uneventful series of flights. Our travels took us from LA to Sydney, then on to Melbourne, where we changed planes and made it to Brisbane by midday. That figured to be about 22 hours of flight time and plane changes- and everyone and luggage made it just fine!
Our friends were wa
iting for us, piled us into a couple of rented vans and took us for lunch at Hungry Jack's (that's Burger King's name here). Everyone chowed down and enjoyed the fine Australian cuisine, which looked strangely familiar...except for the beet root,
egg and ham on the Aussie Burger that Matt ordered! Following lunch we went to the home of Tim and Kylie Vincent, leaders at Ann Street. There we sampled Australian treats and had our initial orientation. Then it was off to our hosts' homes for supper and a real night's rest.
We're looking forward to meeting with the Ann Street youth tomorrow during the morning hours, learning to throw boomerangs in the afternoon, then meeting with church life groups in the evening. Thank you for your prayers and love. Keep them coming!

So cool to see some pics, keep them coming. Our pastoral staff prayed for you guys today and High School will be lifting you up tomorrow. Stay sensitive to God's Spirit and His leading, take advantage of every opportunity. We love you all.
Thanks, Evan, for your encouragement. It means much to us. I will pass along your words to the group tomorrow. You'd be proud of them- they have begun well. It's good to be back with friends here.
