WUNDERLI WANDERINGS

Joshua and Zara started their new school on Monday.  So far they are enjoying the experience and making some friends.  They seem to be taking all the newness in their stride as they figure out how it all works.  Thanks to all of you who have been praying for them.  God has been preparing the way and we are grateful. Yesterday Joshua came home with some Maths homework.  I took one look at it and said if you have any questions then ask your Dad because I have no idea.  Thankfully he didn't need much help at all and he taught me a thing or two. Zara is loving her drama class and art class.  She had a lot of joy when she explained what they were doing.  I wonder who she took the love of drama from....it sure wasn't me.  (haha)  She is also studying Japanese so we might have some fun with that.

This is the 5th country that Simon and I have lived in and although you can anticipate a lot of things you still need to walk through them and figure things out.  When you move to another English speaking country you think that things will be familiar and similar but that is not always the case.  Our time in America showed us that and...

Since arriving in Australia we have experienced so many things that it is difficult to put it all into words or even photos but below are a few photos to keep you going. We have some praises and prayer needs which are located to the right of this post.  Thanks for interceding for us!! Happy New Year from Cairns Esplanade Our first New Year in Aussie and its 9pm and still 30+ degrees. Managed to get Joshua out the water for a photo, Zara's priority was swimming. A view from one of the hills surrounding Cairns. The view from Tree Tops Guesthouse where we stayed for a month. Lake Morris, a reservoir that feeds Cairns Joshua and Zara at Lake Morris, it was one hot day! Zara enjoying the beach and the ocean.  It is jelly fish season (stingers) and so only specific areas that are cordoned off are safe to swim in.  These wee jellies and not so wee jellies are not to be messed with. Zara feeding ...
