Life is rich. And it's not so much based on figures in a bank account. And it's not always easy and swell (no doubt) - I'm a huge fan of the 'little' moments and 'smaller' joys. For instance, we've got this stellar table and chair set on our back patio- give me a journal, sweatshirt, hot drink and Bible and I'm set. 

It's been a good last few weeks. With the DTS, we've had lectures each week - different topics covered and lots of input. I've been so enjoying being a part of this school. 20 students from all over the world- It's truly amazing how a bunch of strangers quickly can become family - God's been up to some gnarly stuff - His grace astounds me! 
 
We're a week and a half away from leaving for Papua New Guinea... Let me say that again: 9 days until we're hopping on a jet plane.

 ...this means, 3 months away from my Aussie home, my second birthday in a row spent on the medical ship, opportunities x 1000 to love, learn, and share. Woooop

PNG is known as the land of the unexpected. Faith's a-rising in my heart, although it still doesn't feel like we're quite so close to leaving.

Appreciate your prayers, friends! Let's make the most of what we've got.
