No new pictures for today, since we returned again to Macquarie Univeristy and met with quite a few students. Most meetings were one-on-one, but one was a group of four students.
Topics ranged from another study on Ephesians 3, to how to bring up God in conversations with non-Christian friends, to the existence of God. One of the students we met with was a self-proclaimed agnostic, but was still open to discussing Christianity with Grant in the weeks to come.
So far we have seen quite a spectrum of spiritual maturity among the Navigator contacts at Macquarie. The variety definitely keeps one on his/her toes.
Aussie Vocab of the Day: Footie Match
We all know that when you travel to another country and start talking about how good you are at football, everyone thinks you're really talking about soccer. In fact, you talk such a good game, that the local boys challenge you, then you quickly discover that there was a misunderstanding.
Well, in Australia soccer is also soccer, but football can mean a number of things...
1. Rugby League (this is the rugby that Chris learned to play)
2. Rugby Union (slightly different rules than above)
3. Aussie-Rules Rugby (but the Outback Steakhouse guy always says "no rules, just right"...)
4. Soccer (the Aussies are sensitive to the other use of the word, unlike the rogue Americans who just *have* to use Farenheit and Standard measurements...)
So, a Footie Match is a game (match) of any of the above.

Hello Jen and Chris!
Hope all is going well. Jen, how's the food? There must be some real taste treats there to experience. Anyway, we will continue to pray for God's blessing on all that you do and His guidance for everywhere you go. We love you.
Bruce and Mother
The food is quite tasty, actually. We have had many delicious homemade meals and packed lunches. Tonight we had lamb accompanied by corn, zucchini, and a potato followed up by kiwi fruit cake. Plenty of tea and coffee as well, of course!
