I have been having an absolutely amazing time lately. Let's see....well today was church and it was actually a really hot day but that's besides the point...the message was good and after church there was a luncheon and I had a blast with all of the youth that stayed. It also just amazes me, daily, at how much of a serving spirit God has given me throughout this whole trip. So also today I was able to serve some at the church with some of the older ladies and that was really cool. After the luncheon a bunch of the youth went over to Sam's house (she is really really awesome) to go swimming cuz it was so hot. We all had a blast and the guys are absolutely hilarious and reminded me so much of some people back home :). After that we came back to the Loftis house and had some more fun.....it was awesome. Last night the teens that went on a Thailand trip came over and we had a dinner for them and that was awesome as well, we spent the day cooking and preparing; it felt a bit like thanksgiving time, haha. We have also semi-finalized details of the Sydney trip...we will be staying 6 days in a youth hostel (which is like a place that a lot of backpackers stay at when traveling). One of the days we are going to this nice restaurant that towers over all of Sydney and slowing rotates around so you get a full view of Sydney from the sky :) it is going to be so flippin amazing!!! And we are going to visit the Opera House and Hillsong church (hopefully) and some gorgeous botanical gardens that are there....ugh I can't wait!!!! And don't worry I will take LOTS of pictures! Anyways that isn't till mid november, I just can't seem to take my mind off of it, lol.
On a more serious note...when Joylee and I had our awesome talk, she gave me this book that she thought I would like and appreciate and stuff. I've been reading it and today I read a chapter that was just SO moving and SO, I don't even know how to describe it, it just left me with such a Joyful feeling about how much God LOVES me. I don't really want to go into more detail over internet but it was just so unbelievably amazing and I am so thankful that God set up that whole thing so that I could read the book.
I don't think that I go into the office tomorrow but some of my friends are still here so I better go and not be rude. *hugs and kisses to all*

Hey Jenna!
I know for me, it is really humbling when I get the point that God LOVES me. I find it makes me love Him even more....and it makes me want to love others like He loves me.
I'm praying for you & love you!
Mary!

Hey SpongeButt!!!
Good job on keeping up with the BLOG so we can all travel with you ;)
It is amazing (And shouldn't surprise us) that God loves us so so so much that he will continually try to woo us & remind us (Woo is my new buzz word lately, I think I used it 10 times in last nights lesson)of his love for us.
We miss you & your energy, Can't wait until you get back!! So much to see, say & do !!!
I'll see if we can't get you to go see Anze!!
Gotta Run,

It's Monday already and October is almost gone; can you believe it? You've been gone seven weeks and it seems forever. :)
Enjoying summer??
Love you...
Ok, so I'm still trying to work out whether you're at all excited about going down Syndey-way. Do you want to go or not, girl? Just SAY so! :)
I'm jealous again. Greg, my friend at work, and I recently finished a 3-D puzzle of the Sydney Opera House. So I like know it a bit from the outide, but the puzzle had no details about the inside. So you gotta get me some photos of the inside of that place, even if you have to throw a tantrum or something. Tell them you'll get excommunicated if you don't post some pictures. Doode! I just had an AWESOME idea. You gotta do it you just gotta. Could you send me a postcard from there? They MUST have them. I'm sure your Dad will pay the postage!
That is, of course, assuming you decide to go. I can tell you're really on the fence here...
I'm glad you're having good relationships there, and most of all I'm glad that you are amazed about a work that God is doing in you. I pray He'll continue to form your servant-ness.
Well, I'm a bit giddy after being offline for so long, so I better shut up before I make a total fool of myself....May our Wonderful, Loving Lord God Bless You Richly!!
