Ok, so first off I have to share something cool with you and a riddle to ask you…  January 3, 2010 did not exist for me this year…It’s crazy! and here is the riddle.  How do we leave  LAX at 7pm on January 2 on a 12 hour non-stop flight to Auckland, New Zealand where we arrive at 7am on January 4?… Pretty Crazy! haha!
 
So, we are here on the north island of New Zealand in Crystal Springs Matamada!  I just found out that we are 15 minutes away from “The Shier” (Lord of the Rings)!!!  It’s absolutely beautiful here!  Today the rest of our squad arrived and I couldn’t be more excited to see them!  We will be here for a few more days for some training and some last minute preparation for our trip and then we split off into our teams and head to our first ministry location!!!!  I am so excited!!!! Our team leader has not told us where we will be going or what we will be doing, but the one thing I do know is wherever we go or whatever we do, it is exactly where God wants us!  Thank you all again for all your support and prayers!
 
In Him,
John
