It's easter monday here and easter was a fun and eventful weekend! It started with a 24-hour prayer day on thursday, where we stayed up all night and prayed, watched the passion of the christ, and worshiped, until friday morning when we went to the lighthouse and prayed over Byron and worshiped there. Then we went to church, which was fun, and then went to our weekly BBQ and handed out our sausages. Sunday we had church and another BBQ in the park to share the resurrection with Byron. Today, we helped out at this huge carnival the churches put on for the community, helping with balloons, food, jumpy castles, face painting, animals and much more! All and all a good weekend...busy but good!
These past weeks have been good, going deeper into the word of God and learning more about myself and God, and just growing my relationship with Christ. We have been starting to get ready for Indonesia, learning the culture, cutting our hair (the boys can't have long hair), and just growing together as a outreach team. My team will consist of 2 boys and 2 girls, so small, but good, we will be a close family. The city in Indo we will be going to is Surabaya.
I've tried surfing again, but am so bad at it...I can wobble on my knees, but as for standing, I will have to push harder! The sun is dissapearing and the rain is always here, so I will be happy to get more north where I can sweat more freely then I can in Australia right now, ha ha.
Well, I can't think of anything else to post, though I will put pictures up on facebook and flickr soon so keep checking! I love you all heaps, thanks for reading & commenting! I can't wait for everyone to see how much I have grown and learned!
Cheers, Tamarah

Sounds like you'll have to stick to surfing the internet! Looking forward to the pictures - that's funny that you go NORTH to get warm! Happy Easter Tamara! (I'll save you a CHOCOLATE Easter bunny)
Indonesia? Cool!! I have heard that Indonesia is heavily Muslim... so how does YWAM deal with the religion conflicts when entering a totally-not-majority Christian country (knowing full well that Isalm is not a tolerant religion)??? I hope that made some sense. Thanks so much for the letter, it was such a surprise... it really brightened my day. Ummm, I have a couple cds I would like to send you... there totally awesome, and I think you would enjoy them as much as I do like listening to them! I would have to say, they out of all the music I have heard this last year these two really stick out. I love you Tamarah! Thank you for shining for Jesus!
L.O.V.E. You!
