Hello

Hey everyone, Camping was great. It was such a refreshment to get away for a while and spend time with God in His creation. I found out last Friday that I am going to be working in the Youthsreet ministry area!! This is the youth ministry that I was praying and hoping to get involved with so I am so excited for this answer to prayer!! I start working on Tuesday! This week I have been continuing my work in Community Life. I helped clean out the storage shed the past 2 days and bugsprayed around the apartments of the staff members on base. Tomorrow is my last day working in Community life and then I will start Youthstreet on Tuesday!!!! We are taking the sports team to play ultimate frisbee this saturday then having a gameshow night for the kids.

I am still trying to find my place here in Australia but am being challenged to trust God that this is where He wants me. I am excited for the internship to officially start this Sunday and so excited to see what God has in store. I'd appreciate your prayers as I continue to adjust to this new lifestyle and as I begin working in the Youth ministry. Please pray for diligence in spending time with God daily and staying focused on Him. Thank you so much for your prayers and support. If you are interested in helping support me financially please send me an email at ldyksterhouse@cox.net. Thanks everyone!!
