Hey guys I thought I would just give you a quick update about my time so far in New Zealand. Well first off it didn’t even feel like I was back in Canada, it was such a quick whirlwind visit and for all of you that I didn’t get to see, I will be back soon and look forward to catching up, and those that I did get to see, I look forward to seeing you again. All those of you who have been to New Zealand and have told me that I would love it here, you were right. I LOVE NZ. I have had such and awesome, restful, fun, memory filled and blessed time my first month here. I had the blessing and privilege of travelling around with a good friend, who took time off work and took me all around the North Island.

(I am currently at his parents house, getting in some rest and relaxation before my school starts tomorrow). I did ha...

I have been excited, nervous, excited and little more nervous, overwhelmed, excited, grateful, excited and awed. I have felt soo blessed by the encouragement and support that I have received in this past month and a bit, it has been incredible. We had our first staff meeting on Sunday and it is a great group of staff, there were a few girls that I haven’t met and a few that haven’t met each other, but we had a great time and it’s going to be a great team. It was an answer to prayer because I wanted girls that didn’t work with the ministry and I wanted lot’s of Colombians and in a staff of 12, only 4 of us are foreigners. So that is a huge answer to prayer. I also sent out an email for some of you to pray as the weeks the ...
