So, I decided to start a blog. I figured it would be easier to keep
those across the world updated on what, when, where and how things
happen here in New Zealand :)
It's
Saturday night here. The weather still has a chill in it- but I am told
that spring is just around the corner! Oh, lovely thought :)
Who would have thought that such a beautiful place would be a place out of my comfort zone?
The
town we live in is a small dairy farming community. Imagine: Havana,
FL! ((ha)) Dairy farming is BIG here in New Zealand, so there are farms
everywhere. Its calving season right now-- so everyone is busy. I
really enjoy the farm animals. Being kissed by a baby lamb pretty
sweet--- Calves just being born is pretty cool too-- although quite
funny when they cant stand up right away! I cant wait to go milking-- I
think my mom is jealous that I will do that.
I
haven't had a good excuse to play in the mud since I was a little girl.
When it rains, it pours and there is ALOT of mud on the farms here. I
always *thought I was a country girl--- but I soon realized that a
Florida girl can't really label herself country (even with a country
accent).
I am still trying to *find my
fit/place-- waiting on God to show me *exactly* how he wants to use me
here. Working with Will in the Youth Ministry is awesome. We continue
to have new youth and I believe they really enjoy Friday night youth
group. We have just started the Youth Alpha course on Sunday nights as
well.
