Hello,

Well, it looks like we'll be leaving the US in about a week so I thought I had better get a bit of shopping done before getting to Switzerland as I've been told by many people how expensive it is.

So, off I went for a stroll around the mall. Had some interesting conversations with some cashiers.. they spoke really slowly and LOUDLY so that I could understand them. I tried to explain that I speak English as well and then they got me.. I have an accent! Well, my my my!! So weird.. I guess in Australia we're so used to have people around from lots of different countries (hang on, the US is supposedly full of immigrants too..) that we can adjust our ears for different accents. Funny stuff. I will just have to speak s..l..o..w..l..y and clearly for everyone.

It is such a beautiful spring day today and I kept wanting to be outdoors enjoying it. So, I had seen a beautiful track and thought I would give it a bash. It turned out to be glorious! My soul just drinks up nature and the peace you find from spending time without humans - just God. Ahh, I feel brand new :) Anyways, had my little ipod there listening to one of the Riverview sermons and it was just excellent! I ended up walking 2.5miles, running 2.25 and walking another .25miles. Not bad hey!! Should assist with my get-fit regime. Bit tired now though.

Hoping to find a good church to go to tonight. Not hoping - believing. I have prayed that I would find a "home" here - a place where spiritually I just fit and can meet some people that relate to God in the same or similar way to me. Will keep you posted (pardon the pun) on where I went.

Well, better get cracking if I want to make it somewhere on time!

Lots of love,

Kel
