We're off to Melbourne today (Saturday) for our 15 Min Visa appointment on Monday morning! This is a massive faith step for us, but we are confident God's got our back and it will be successful!  As vocational students we apply for a M1 visa and this allows us to live in the country and study but it does not let us work. As much as this is a challenge because we have to go with all of our money it is also really nice to know we (Chris and Elle) both get a year off working! Pray for us as we go to Melbourne because we need God's favour on our appointment to get these visas approved! For now we drive....... And hope the smiles in this photo last! Till next time, Be blessed! Elle, Chris, Charlee and Declan

We can't wait to send you all a few pictures of our new home for the coming year! We have a Visa appointment in Melbourne late June. It will be ...
