Sun burned

Hey everyone! This last weekend was spent away from the base. We actually went and stayed at a Teen Mission's International base a few hours north of here; which was kind of awesome because a few years ago I had seriously looked into TMI! I am glad I chose YWAM, TMI was a bit primitive ;) haha BUT, we got to see kangaroos! They were everywhere at that base, most often in the morning and evening. I got probably about 30 feet (maybe closer I'm terrible with measurements) away from a few to take pictures! The sun here is MUCH stronger; I was in the sun maybe 15/20 minutes playing some volleyball and I ended up with a nasty sunburn on the backs of my legs and my arms and my feet! Then today we spend the day at the beach (so much fun!) and got the rest of myself burnt XD I wore 50 spf even!! haha eveyone else is burned as well; we went and got aloe plants and rubbed it all over ourselves. It is so very hot here; around 6 and 7 in the morning its probably around 70/80 degrees WITH humidity :S I dont know the exact temp because it is in Celcius but I will try and pay better attention :) haha
Tomoro morning we start classes!! I'm excited. This weekend while we were away we all shared testimonies, and hearing our leaders/teachers testimonies made me so excited to start classes! I can tell I am going to learn a lot while I am here :)
My Frontiers team has 8 people, and we are combining with the Sports DTS which has 7. By combined I mean going to the same lectures and going away for weekends together, etc. We won't however go on outreach together, which I think will be a bit hard after growing close to them as well! So combined with the 2 DTS, there are people from USA, Canada, Denmark, Sweden, Norway (I think), and a few from Australia. It is awesome how well we all get along so well already!
Oh yeah, besides the sun, the "mozzies" ore biting us also! so if we itch, it hurts to scratch now :( haha Im not quite sure how people get climatized to this weather! I love the afternoon/evenings tho, because they at least are cooler!!!
Right now... err last time I was outside there was a big thunder storm! But it was weird, because I never heard any thunder! Well, there's a movie on right now, so I'm gonna actually watch it now :) haha
chow for now!

Random vocab words>> Heaps=alot, Mozzies=Mosquitos, Torch=Flashlight
