Much awaited update

Doing a quiz, she got the answer wrong

Sorry that I have been so bad at updating. I keep telling myself that I will update at least once a week, but the weeks have just been going by so fast! Nothing too exciting has happened in the last couple weeks so you haven't been missing out on too much. Jeremy continues to do really well in worship ministry. He is currently planning a secular music concert at the church as a kind of outreach event. I think he is planning on doing 3 while we are here. It is planned for mid-May and he  is very excited about it. He also is getting better and better at surfing. He and a friend, Josh, go out 2-3 mornings a week (usually before work). I haven't been out to watch him in a while because they go so early but I will try to get out soon to take some photos.
We had a fun event with the children's ministry on friday called Night Owls. The kids came to the church with the parents and we played games and had a blast. Everyone really enjoyed it. I had a few parents come up to me on Sunday saying how nice it was to be able to get out and do something fun with their kids. I will be slowing down on my work at the church for a bit starting in May because we have a lot of family coming to visit. I will still be teaching on Sunday mornings but not doing as much office work so that I can spend time with visitors. I can't wait for people to start coming I think it will help a lot with missing home. Also it will mean that we finally get to go out and see Perth more. My cousin Kelsey and her boyfriend Joe are the first to come on May 7th.
Jeremy and I have also been trying to find little ways to make some extra money while we are here because we aren't sure how are fundraising will keep up. Every weekend we sell parking spaces for the Aussie rules football games. I am also doing a bit of hair on the side and Jeremy is doing a bit of landscaping in the parking area where we sell spaces. Everything helps right!
I think that is all for now. Please keep us in your prayers. It has been a lot harder for me then I thought it would be to be away from home. Sometimes I feel like another 9 months might be impossible. Thanks for all your support, we think about you all the time.
