Wow! What an experience! Sydney is beautiful! We spent yesterday morning taking pictures under the Harbour bridge and the Opera House. (We don't have regular internet connection, sorry for little updates...and I might not get to finish b/c we are on a timed internet cafe...)
Sydney is a TON of fun! We had the WYD opening Mass yesterday right on the waterfront. There was beautiful music and tons of people to meet! Bishops and priests from all over the world celebrated the Mass. We have lifted all your prayer requests up during this.
Today, Wednesday (Christina S.'s birthday!!!!) we started morning Catechesis and the bishop from Perth gave us a talk on how the Holy Spirit fits into our lives. Now we are in downtown Sydney at the harbor and enjoying some free time exploring. This evening we hope to catch some Adoration.
We met Kelly's home parish of Holy Trinity last night walking through the city and enjoyed the fireworks under the southern sky with them. We taught them the Jesus Jive and they taught us how to "ride the pony!"
Tomorrow we welcome Pope Benedict to Sydney!! Our time is up! You are all in our prayers.
