I made it safely to Adelaide! I spent a good 5 days in Melbourne, which were really cool. I actually got to know all of the people at the DTS there really well, and it was really hard to leave :( I sat in on all of the sessions during the week, a few of which were everyone sharing their testimonies, and so that inevitably brought everyone really close. I'm really going to miss them, but it's awesome knowing I have family there in Melbourne.
I took a bus last night and got in at 5 this morning - so I'm a little tired, but doing fine. I had kind of a rough morning, just because I was tired and really missed Jordan and everyone else, and just didn't want to go through meeting a whole new group of people after getting so close to the guys in Melbourne. Once I got into it, though, it was really good and I think the group is going to be great. One thing I did find out, though, is that we are all doing the Creative Arts DTS - I thought half were and half weren't......that's fine, since I do have dance experience, but I really hadn't wanted to do one of those. I guess maybe God has different plans, and that's cool! I've never really felt that God specifically called me to use dance as an outreach tool, but maybe that was just me and I haven't heard him. Anyway, I know that this is where God wants me, and so I'm here for a reason. It's a bigger step of faith than I thought, but that's awesome, and I'm really excited to see what God does!
Some prayer requests:
- That I would quickly feel at home here, and bond with the other people
- For overall unity in our group
- That I would be completly be open to what God has for me
- For Jordan and I - I miss him!
Thank you for all your love and prayers. I love you all!

Caitlin,
It's great to hear about what's going on in Australia. I miss you and am praying for you!
LOVE!
Cait,
We love you and miss you here!!!
God's plans are not always what we think they are, are they? I;m proud of you for being open to what He has in store for you regardless of the difference in expectations. You are a beautiful dancer and I can see how God can use that as a medium that may get through to people that other things won't. It will be exciting to see how it all works together! Enjoy the creativity.
Blessings and prayers!
Love,
Mom for all
