In which Charla does homework. And learns slang....

Tonight, Charla is doing homework. She is trying to help me write a 30 minute presentation about the country of Mali. After which, we will lead the group in 20 minutes of prayer for the country. Obviously, we will need heaps of prayers because just the though of being in front of 50 of my fellow YWAMers makes this blogger's heart skip quite a few beats. I might even go into cardiac arrest.....AND not have to do the project!! Heeeyyyy....Now THAT could be an idea. But this blog is about Chala. I apologize, Dear Readers, for my brief lapse of memory. I forget my place.
Anyway, she is researching Mali. In particular, the Bozo People. Yes. You read that right: The BOZOs. I swear I dont know how I will be able to get through the presentation without laughing everytime I say that name. Oh goodness. Charla will have to do most of the talking on this project!!
Anyway, as a bit of culture for y'all, I will now teach you some of the words that Charla has been learning this week in order to keep up with the dangerous dialect of the Australians.
Brekky: Breakfast
Woolies: Woolworths, the local supermarket
Macca's: McDonald's
Ute: Small truck
Bonnet: Hood of car or truck.
Petrol: gas....duh.
Mate: Friend
Bourgan: They still struggle to find an american equivelant for this word. But its not a compliment. apperently.
Feral: Gross

So yeah. Thats all for now folks! HOPEFULLY Charla will update her facebook page to tell us all about Airlie in great detail. But likely not. All we know right now is that she had a great time and had an awesome experience with God. whoo hoo!!!
Ok, Thats all for now Blokes!!
