Week3

This morning I woke up at 5:00am for no apparent reason. Since I had to run in half an hour anyways I decided to not go back to sleep, and now I'm feeling the consequences of that. This morning when I gathered my things for the shower, I stumbled upon my razor and sliced my finger deeply. (I know mom, I should have learned from your Mexico story!) Then when I went down to breakfast we were out of milk for cereal, we didn't have fruit, and we were out of peanut butter and butter for toast. So it was toast with vegemite! Ick! Because of this, my friend from the UK, Becca, and I treated ourselves to some fish 'n chips in town during our lunch break. It tasted fantastic! For dinner we decided to ditch recipes and cook lasagna, salad and garlic bread. It should be good, and I'm excited for that!



We have been learning on relationships during teachings this week. It's cool to see it immeaditly applied with the people we live with here. We're starting to get really close, and I enjoy the fun conversations I get to have with my fellow kitchen workers. Learning about relationships this week has also made me realize how utterly blessed I am to have such amazing family and friends. So, thank you all! Your presence in my life is a huge part of who I am, and I'm proud of that!



Next week I head off for a 10 day camping trip on an island by the bay. Have no idea what to expect, should be heaps of fun! I'm really excited. Pray that no spiders or nasty insects find me while I'm there--I'm a little worried about that.



Some prayer requests:

- I've had a nasty sensitive tooth for a while now, and though I don't notice it often because I never drink or eat anything that cold, it still bothers me sometimes.

- Outreach locations have been on my mind. I don't know when I'll know the locations, but pray that God starts putting a nation on my heart now!

- There's been a couple girls get really sick already, one was taken to the hospital last night for stroke symptoms, but I think she is ok no.

- Safety in the kitchen! (there has been lots of accidents in the past)

- Safety while camping! ( and that God keeps the bugs away from me!)

  1. omygoodness!! Stephie, we pray many times daily for you.......particular prayer now for your tooth, and your safety. Don't they have a resident grandmother to nag you young people into taking care of yourselves?

  2. Camping is nearly done, is it a week or 10 days? I'll certainly be glad to hear you're back!
