Flying to Brisbane from Bethany Roque on Vimeo.
How much stuff can two people bring to Australia. But man are we glad we have it cuz we just went to the store and it is super expensive....
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! We left Dec 31st at 11:50pm so 10 minutes into the flight the pilot said Happy New Year and everyone cheered. Since it was a fabulous international flight they had free rose' champagne so we got some and cheered to our new life and new year together in OZ!
When we arrived two guys from the Sunny Coast YWAM base were there to pick us up.. they are awesome and packed all our stuff in their van. Good thing they brought such a big van!
Okay so we have to learn how to drive on the other side of the road so here I am NOT in the driver's side yet.. I am too afraid to do it.. so I let Luke learn and then I'll make my way over.. =)
This is our temporary living space for now. It's called a Granny Flat which is like a little studio downstairs from one of the YWAM houses. It's small but works for now. God is always good to give me a kitchen... Yay! He is so good..
This is Mindy, she is one of our DTS staff. We already started prepping for the DTS students who will be arriving in a week! We bought paper and goodies for welcome baskets etc..
Aaron and Andrew trying to help. =)
It's hard to find anything healthy here to put in the baskets.. even these juice boxes that say "just juice" is quite far from the truth. =) Good times! It's going to be a challenge to feed these students something healthy. I'm on a mission to change that. We'll see.
Well that's it for now. We are loving it so far and already are feeling at home surprisingly. We LOVE the area. We are 3 minute drive to the beach and shops and it's wonderful and warm. Keep us in your prayers as this next week is the first week of DTS and it's going to be BUSY! But oh we are soooooo excited! We love DTS!
Talk to you soon!

Know you'll be super busy these next weeks getting settled and meeting your new students. Our prayers follow you each and every day. You'll be great! And, Bethany, I KNOW with all my heart that you WILL have the eating habits of the entire place changed to healthy and organic. :-)
