Australia was a different type of good for our team. We were separated a whole lot and had a lot of new influential additions to the team, so I would say we grew a lot, individually.
We all saw how one could be a witness in the work place and how Jesus type behavior, inspires us to become more like Jesus. The Willersdorfs invested in our lives and made themselves vulnerable so that we could totally become part of their family. And family we were. We were treated like kings!
Because we weren't really together through the week it was a new challenge to purposefully interact with one another when we met up in the weekends.
With encouraging bosses, we worked with joy in our hearts and songs on our lips. We learnt that the way you treat the people, builds in the Kingdom of God and that everybody deserves more chances.
And we were given plenty! Tipping to early, marking the wrong ear. Well, it seemed like we messed up a lot. But strangely we never felt condemned about it, we were met by blow after blow of pure grace.
