Sunshine Coast... 16th May - 23rd May

Our time at the sunshine coast was a real challenge as it was mostly evangelism to the people, having some practice but not being at all confident at talking to strangers it was definitely an experience! One way that we did this was with a sausage sizzler, ingredients: Sausages, BBQ and people to talk to. We got all these things and had 3 hours chatting to people, playing games and really getting to know them! Everyone we spoke to and gave food to was so confused that we were giving out free food and everyone was just so greatful , especially all the back packers! It has definitely made me want to travel all over the world hearing some of their stories! :-)

We went to this youth group and just took part. We did this cooking challenge, we split up into groups of about 7 and had $14 to spend on making a meal for 12 people... at the shopping center we only had 10 minutes so it was such a sight, seeing 7 youth charging around a shop buying food and making sure that it came underneath $14! :-p My teams made stir fry and even if i say so myself it was pretty sweet! :-) Really nice, however they put a whole chillie in so after taking one bite all my taste buds disintegrated! It was still a great meal though! :-p

We went to the Eumundi markets, basically market stalls selling everything from food to pictures, to didgeridoos... I got the opportunity to try and play one... it didn't go to well.. :-p  I don't think i will take it up as a profession! It was a great time to evangelise and talk about beliefs because they were so many! :-) Lots of fun!

Day off:: Our day off we spend it at Mooloolaba, a beautiful beach with lots of coffee shops. The waves were MASSIVE and after being taken out a few times i decided to recover by resting on the sand and soaking up the sun! It really was beautiful! :-)

I hope you enjoyed reading my blogs! :-)
God bless. Xxx
