So I guess you are all wondering what is happening down here in Melbourne. Well atleast I hope your wondering. It has been ages since I have blogged. Very busy here. I am working late nights at a new waitressing job in St Kilda. The restaurant has gorgeous views of the water. Last night I finished at 2:30 in the morning. Then there is Credo to run, Christmas and farewells to organise and people to accommodate. One of the guys I am closest to here recently had to leave the tiny flat he was sharing with 2 other people because I guess the crampness of the place made tensions fly. He has been staying with me and the other residents a bit. It is really tough finding cheap accommodation here in Melbourne. Lucky there is this guy called John Williams who is able to give him a place on the 22nd of December. John Williams invests in properties and turns them into community houses and lets people in without bonds and the rent he charges is really cheap. We know a few people who live in his houses. The deal is you can not drink and do drugs and the community meals should be attended regularly. I love John Williams and just pray that God raises up more people like him to cope with the housing crises for poor people in Australia.
{December 1, 2007} There are some good People.
I think there may actually be more good people around then we think. I have meet my fair share of them. It is so good though to recognise a few of them.
I was wondering thanks.
Hey Gem, sounds like you are busy. I hope the work is enjoyable. There are guys like John Williams in Sydney that I have heard of. It is one of the most practical ways of helping in that situation. Love Mum
