Well this is really the first moment I have had to sit down and write this! So much has happened since my last post, I've been doing a lot and having a great time! Time does fly when your life is a little crazy but I wouldn't have it any other way.
So to fill you in, August was a CRAZY month! For most of that month I was working on the film, Hotel Mumbai, being filmed here in Adelaide. I was the Stand In for Nazanin Boniadi and had a fantastic time. It was really long days at times but such an experience to be on set, working with such talent and great people. My fellow Stand Ins were such a fun bunch and it was really a blessing to be around creativity like that everyday. The film is about the terrorist attacks that happened in Mumbai at various hotels in 2008. Many people died but the courage and actions of staff particularly at the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel saved others lives and this movie showcases that. I am very much looking forward to seeing the film completed and am so grateful for the opportunity.
Since September has started I have had the opportunity to sing at a number of events as well. September 10th was a busy day, it was the end of the Salvation Army Australia 100 days of Prayer and there was a final day with a service at the gumtree in Botanic Park where the Salvation Army started in Australia (yes here in Adelaide :) ). I had to lead some songs at it which was lovely and the sun was out for a bit which was great. Then that night was the Adelaide Theatre Guide Awards and this was a great time for the Theatre community in Adelaide to get together, get dressed up and have a lovely dinner while celebrating performances from the past year. "Oklahoma on a Farm" that I was privileged to be apart of in January was nominated for Best Musical - Professional and Andrew and I were asked to perform "People Will Say We're in Love" from the show as it is also coming back in January 2017!!

The night was a lot of fun with over 400 people there and as I haven't been for around 8 years it was great to be apart of it.
So then the next weekend, on the 17th, was the launch of the new Australia One territory of the Salvation Army. Both the Eastern & Southern Territories on Australia have now joined so we are one big territory and so the General and his Wife were over to launch this. I was worship leading with our ACH Contemporary Band and along with the Melbourne Staff Band and Sydney Staff Songsters we lead a wonderful afternoon service. It was amazing to be part of history being made and was also lovely to catch up with a lot of people.
I have had a lot of birthday's in the last two weeks, which have been lovely to celebrate and on the weekend I threw a surprise Tinkerbell party for my friend Kathryn who turned 30. It is so much fun when surprises work and when you are surrounded by friends who support you fully with the theme and dress up and have a fabulous time of it all! We had such a lovely afternoon and my house is still covered in glitter haha!!
Finally this is the last week and a half until opening night of Two from Galilee. This musical is based on the book by Majorie Holmes about the love story of Mary & Joseph and how God encounters people in their lives. It is such a wonderful story and beautiful music, I am loving singing it. I am playing Mary and it has been hitting me how amazing this must have been, how scared she must have felt but she knew that God was in control and that she could trust that He would take care of her.
Yes this is a Christmas musical and its early but what better way to prepare yourself for the Christmas season. It is a family friendly musical and for all ages. Soul Factor always puts on an amazing show and so the singing will be fantastic. Plus my actual parents are playing my parents on stage so that always adds an interesting dynamic!!

I would love to see you there.
Well I think that is a good wrap up!! I am constantly thanking God for my crazy diverse life, I could not have imagined some of the things I have done this year and am so looking forward to more.
Have a fabulous week!
