As I write this blog I'm setting in a cell. Not a prison cell, but a room in a former monastery, even now the entire YWAM Canberra campus (the former monastery) has a meditative feeling. Walking around I feel like the whole place is breathing, (but not as loudly as the snores of my roommate, so glad I remembered to bring ear plugs). The building is old and made of brick and I think sandstone, it is marvelous to look at. And I have gotten to see a whole slew of new exotic parrots feeding all around. You can see them too just go to your local pet store.
Canberra is the capital of Australia and the campus here is one of the host campuses of the year-long 50th Anniversary of Youth With A Mission. I came down early as a friend's 'offsider' (Aussie term for right hand man, from the trucking industry, similar to riding shotgun) to help put up a large tent that is being used to house the week long conference. Which we finished today. Tomorrow we are going to go check out the town again (we went last night after dark, so this time i get to go in the buildings). I should be writing again soon and I'll post a bunch of Pic from Canberra
