While back in the U.S....

I felt compelled to write about what I have been doing since I've been in the U.S.  There have been lots of opportunities to meet up with family and friends and I have been taking advantage of those times.  I was also blessed to learn that I can pick up shifts at my old job working in the group home with 12-17 year old boys.  Also, I have been working on a video from our outreach that I will be giving to the outreach team and to supporters.  The video has been a long process as I am wanting it to be done well and used in churches for presentations.  

It has been hard to be back in the states again and usually is after a DTS experience.  But I am so glad to have some great support from friends and family.  I am hoping to be able to see everyone at least once while I am back.  

I will be leaving again for Australia on May 14th as I have a training to attend in Newcastle, Australia for 2 weeks.  I am very excited to get to staff another school and I also have a friend here from Tucson who will be doing a DTS.  Her name is Brittany and she is very excited to go and also has grandparents who live in Brisbane.  Part of my job this school will be recruiting staff and I am in need of female staff.  Most of the schools that start in July have a majority of girls and it seems that there is a lack of female staff.  I am hopeful that I will get some soon. 

Thanks for all of your prayers and support and I hope to see all of you during my time back here:)
