Sydney Day 5

Well, today we provide evidence that we are actually in Sydney, Aus. We got a "day tripper" ($15 each) to ride the train (45 min.) into Sydney and then catch a ferry (30 min.) to Manly Beach. We took these pictures after we got off the train and walked around on The Rocks, which is the historic area of Sydney. Strangly, we also got a free mini meal from the massive red lunch box parked outside the train station. Inside was a small can of Coke and some nasi goreng!

It seems to be some sort of marketing scheme put on by Coca-Cola. Not sure why they would feel the need, but we're not complaining...

So far this week we have met with about 14 students: mostly one-on-one but also one group of four. Tomorrow we have our last full day of meeting with students in Sydney. This has by far been the highlight of our trip. We have really enjoyed being able to watch and participate as Grant disciples these students. We are amazed at the interest and faithfulness that the students have shown. It is exciting to see God at work!

Aussie Vocab of the Day: bubbler

What bubbles up from the ground in a refreshing spring? Water, of course! If you want to quench your thirst in a public place, you would look for the bubber, or drinking fountain. The tap water tastes quite nice in Sydney, actually.
