Last week

I know I haven't posted in a while, so here's a post about what I've been doing this past week. The week was pretty normal, we had chores and class and work duties every day and then on Thursday night we had evangelism. My evangelism team goes to the city and just walks around praying for people and sharing the gospel and stuff like that. It's such a cool opportunity because there are a lot of hurting people in the city and lots of homeless people.

This weeks teaching was on forgiveness and repentance. It was super convicting and made me realize how much my sin really hurts God. On Friday we had a repentance and forgiveness day; we spent the day repenting of our sins and forgiving the people in our lives that have hurt us, it took about 10 hours. We then had Friday night meeting which is basically like church for the entire base. It was extremely hard to focus after an entire day of sitting in a classroom, but the worship and teaching are super powerful.

The weekend was so much fun and so relaxing! Almost my whole school and some of the other schools went to the beach on Saturday and the weather was perfect! And we ended the night with cookies and a movie at my house which is pretty much what we do every weekend night!

And then on Sunday a couple of my friends and I went to the beach AGAIN which was really nice because the weather was even nicer then on Saturday (I haven't gotten sun burnt yet by the way)! But we only stayed for a little bit because we had a soccer game to get to. The Perth Glory soccer stadium is right by our base so some of my friends and I went to the season opener! It was a blast, but it was extremely hot sitting in the stadium. And then we finished the night off with the Dark Knight Rises. 

It was such a good weekend and I can't wait to see what this week will bring! 

I miss everyone at home!
