I am also attaching a couple of goofy shots of folks that aren’t on my team. They were from Australia Day (Jan 26). 
We all dressed up in yellow and green and then also in the Aussie Flags. Very different than the states—to honor Oz, they wear the flags around their necks and waists. Crazy, eh?

Me with my hair braided. Lauren on my team is a hair braiding guru. She plans to give me corn rows soon. 
There is a shot of my “dorm room” area at the camp—scary how messy it was. You shoulda seen the whole place. 
There is also a shot of a volleyball game we had while at Camp. We had to get funky, so we got some war paint.
There is a shot of the “warning signs” that you find on the beaches, just for fun
A shot from one van of two of the other vans. That is what we will be traveling in this year.
This is a shot from just yesterday when we found this HUMOUNGOUS spider in the bathroom, right as I was getting ready to use it. Um, yeah. There really are tons of snakes, spiders, etc randomly roaming here.
So, I hope you enjoy these pics! :) Also, we completed our first two retreats as a team today. One yesterday (Mon) and one today. They were challenging but wonderful. I will write more on them later, but for now, I guess the biggest thing is just how Jesus continues to humble all of us by working with these youth, despite all of our shortcomings. He is so amazing. I am in awe. Please pray for us, as this will be a wonderful yet tiring year! Miss you all and love you. me

Glad to see your blog. Thanks for sharing.
Good to meet all your Aussie friends, but you can leave the spiders over there. Miss you-- have fun!

Hi ML, I'm Glenda A's friend in Sydney, Oz. I used to have 3 of those spiders as free roaming pets... Re fulfilment in life, it comes as we use our gifts in the work He has prepared for us to do. Max Lucado's "Cure for the common life" could be helpful - when you have time!
Hey Mary Lee,
You look great. I am so glad that things are going well for you. Caroline was gone for five days for spring break. She went up toe DC to spend time with a good friend. I told your mom that I could not imagine her being gone for a year. Your mom is doing well but I know she has her moments. It's so nice to know that we have each other and to have our wonderful daughters. Keep on having fun and God bless you and all of your new friends.
Love you,
Lisa
