Hello from Walpeup!

SEPTEMBER 20TH, 2008

Hey all,

Right now I am on my friend Jess' family's sheep farm about 6 hours northwest of Melbourne and 16 hours west of Sydney. It's in the middle of nowhere and her town, Walpeup, only has about 100 residents! I have been working on the farm with her family, which is amazing. It's lambing season and all the sheep are about ready to give birth. Some came early and are so adorable! I have some photos of myself holding little lambs. So cute!

It's amazing here and Jess says there are wild kangaroo around here and I should see on soon. There are also wild emus and the dirt is all very golden brown here. It's definitely The Bush!

I spent the past week in Melbourne doing the tourist thing and stayed with three awesome girls studying at the University of Melbourne. They live in a massive three-story townhouse and it was very nice living with them. They even gave me my own key so I could come and go as I pleased. Don't forget I was a stranger to these girls, as we only met on couchsurfing.com previously.

On Tuesday I'm off to Sydney, followed by Canberra, where I will speak on World Peace at an Adventist youth service there. Then I return to Sydney to talk about the Philippines mission trip and do some sightseeing.

I can't wait to get home where I can upload some photos and show you all what I've been up to.

I miss you all and will be back soon.

Love,

Steph
