Rebas' Adventure in Ozzieland

Hello, so I had planned have up all my fun pictures of last week up by now, but I ran into a slight problem...technology. (by the way does anyone know where I got the title for my post from? a hint, it is a take off from a song at the end of a movie). I purchased and received a mobile Internet USB drive system, I tried to install it, all day long. I called the help line at least 5 times, no go. They eventually sent me another drive just in case the first one was a dud. Three guesses as to how well the new drive worked? that's right! It didn't. My computer has decided that all programs from the Internet company are bad news and won't run them. grrrr! Luckily I have made a friend, David Gondwe, who is a computer guy. He said he would help me so hopefully sometime next week I will be able to actually use the Internet at my house and more easily keep up with my blog.___________OK, enough complaining! Fun stuff. I introduced my bible study to angel food cake, which some people had heard of, but no one had eaten. It came up last week and so this week I made one and brought it. I had never made an angel food cake before, very easy, Alton Brown's recipe, GO AB! I find it so interesting when something like that comes up. I probably haven't talked about angel food cake in years (how often do you bring it up in conversation?) and then I say the words and find I had a new Americanism to share. On Saturday I went to a women's conference, it was OK, I think I am spoiled by Intervarsity Christian Fellowship, it just wasn't as dynamic as I am used to conferences being. It was all day Saturday and the talks were interesting, I met a few people, and had a most interesting conversation over lunch with some girls who's main understanding of the USA is from The Simpson's and The Daily Show, both of which air regularly over here on network TV. They admitted that the Americans they met had all been very nice and I pointed out that those shows were parodies of American life, not the norm. I think I got through to them :). I have made good friends at my church and enjoy the service and the teaching, but I find that it is only at YWAM that I feel that I am around people who are excited about God. I don't think there is anything wrong with my church, I just think they are more reserved then I am. I don't know if this is a US vs Aussie cultural thing or a church culture thing. I could use your prayers, I find myself once again rebeliously doing nothing. I know that doesn't sound very daring, but leathergy can be a sin and it is a surprisingly hard one to fight. Please pray that I submit to God and living my life for Him? Thanks._________Well, must go, I am having dinner at Tim and Leoni's tonight, they are the couple who are trying to get connected with a church. Leoni and I get on and I enjoy talking with her.
