I have decided that since this trip is 11 countries, 11 months, that any old top 10 just won’t due. Therefore, I’ve decided to do a Top 11 for each country we spend time in this year. So without a further wait here you go!

 

11. Being located on a historical World War II site.
 
 

10. Pavlova, a traditional Kiwi desert that is like a sugar coma, but so good!
 

 

9. Finding Mt. Dew in a local store.

 

8. Watching a traditional Hakka Dance by Maori friends and a visit to a traditional Mari.

7. Being in what I may have to say is the most beautiful country I’ve ever seen.

 
 
 
 

6. Being a part of kids’ church each week.

 

 

5. Mornings of prayer, Bible study, and worship with Brenden and our team.

 
 

 
 

4. Meeting some amazing people who have made an impact on my heart.

 

 

 
 

3. Brenden (and his family) for being a fantastic contact who not only worked alongside of us, but poured so much wisdom into us. We were insanely blessed to have him.

 

 

2. Getting closer to my M:10 family with jokes, games, Bible studies, long chats about nothing and everything, and meaningful times.

 
 
 

1. Realizing that it isn’t about the task you are doing, but about the people you meet while doing it and about showing them love.

 
 
 

Stay tuned for the Australia Top 11 sometime in early March!
