Further Notice

I don't know if anyone will find this post for a while since I've previously said that I won't be posting until futher notice. But as you can see this IS "further notice."

There is now less than a week and a half until I will be leaving Australia to spend the next two and half months in the United States of America at summer camp. I will be in California...not too far from Los Angeles, just over the hill from where the TV show M*A*S*H was filmed.

It is not likely that I will be able to post much during that time either on this site or my blog on my church's youth site. When I can I will, but it won't be very often. I will take lots of pictures and will post those on my return to Australia in August.

For those who have been keeping track of what's happening while I'm here, thank you for your support and interest.

Watch for more in a few months...I'll send e-mails to those who I have e-mail addresses for to remind you.

Redirect...

Until further notice, I will not be posting to this blog. Please visit http://www.glenmoretemple.com/youth/?folder=news.australia for updated information on my stay in Australia.

Thanks.

Just me and Julia...she's so cute!! It's hard to believe that she'll probably be walking the next time I see her.

That's me with Teagan, Shane and Julia! 

Alannah had a bit of trouble with her craft. 

Scott and Elizabeth...can everyone say "awww!" 

These kids are good at following the instructions! 

The pre-school and kindergarden class is working on their craft. 

Darcy gets some assistance from Mrs. Phipson. 

I've been saying good-bye all my life, but it's never been this hard!!

You'd think that after a life time of moving from city to city I'd have learned to say my good-byes, but these are the hardest good-bye's I've ever had to make. And the weird thing is, I know that I'll mostly likely be seeing these people again!

Sunday was a day ripe with good-bye's. I had to say farewell to the kids at Sunday School in the morning...that was really hard!! Those kids all mean so much to me and I'm going to miss them terribly. Sunday evening I said farewell to Jackie...she's become a dear friend to me and that was really tough.

Monday evening I had to say good-bye to Teagan and Shane, along with their baby sister Julia!! They're a couple of kids from the church. I got a picture of the four of us together. You can find that posted below...well, it was supposed to be below, but when I posted everything all pictures came out above this, so look up.

Tuesday was probably the toughest of all so far though. I said farewell to so many people! All the kids in Junior Band and all my friends and colleagues in the Senior Band. Thanks so much to everyone for your kind words and support!! Just spending those last minutes with my closest friends really helped to lift my spirits!!

Now almost all my good-byes have been said...only my family and Alicia's family remains...and that will come Friday morning at the airport.

Watch for my next post...it'll be coming at you from the Land Down Under!!
