I'm just not smart enough with my computer to get it on my blog, prehaps i'll ask someone to show me!
Christchurch...
....Hello again! So we arrived in Christchurch yesterday! The drive down not as pretty as it was in June, due to the lack of snow and fresh blue sky! But I cant complain, its still extremely pretty down here!
This being the second part of outreach! A land based tour of churches and youth groups and some other kinds of stuff aswell! A busy 3 weeks is ahead of us and a whole heap of driving from the top of the north island to the tip of the south island and then back again! Its going to be fun! 'just sat in church right now, which is home for the next 4days, listening to the some of the teams practice worship for a youth event tonight! I even just played a song on guitar with the band, all hooked up to the sound system, it was so much fun!!
Thought i'd post some pictures of beautiful Samoa and the awesome team that I co-lead with Emily! Just can't get that place of my mind, but i'm having to conscoiusly put my mind here in NZ for now! It was a very sudden re enty back into NZ, having only 1 day to unpack then re pack and have a few meetings. Ready to drive for about 7 hours all the way to Wellington the next day! So I guess its not surprising! But I have been wondering and praying about why I loved it so much, unlike any of the other countries i've been too in the past year!
Talofa Lava!
Malo! Asu Fia Fia!
That's hey! happy day! in Samoan! This country is amazing, its going to be hard to leave on Sunday after 4 weeks! Living with Samoan families has been so so great, I have just fallen in love with this place much more than anywhere else my travels have taken me. We have met some amazing people, and have been truly blessed here! Everyone has been so generous and hospitable!
God has really protected us as well, none of the 7 of us have experienced any major illness, unless about 100 mosquito bites for one guy, Lane, during the night counts! I guess the itchiness was quite tough! But other than that, all is well and we're all keeping well!
If anyone ever gets the opportunity to come to Samoa! Do it! Its amazing!
