Just wanted you all to know that I have arrived in
New Zealand, and it’s one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen. 
Monday, January 4th, never existed for us at all.  We left Sunday night
around 7:30pm out of Los Angeles on a huge plane and took a 12 hour trip
finally arriving in New Zealand at 5am their time on Tuesday, the 6th.  
So far we’ve had breakfast, put up tents, and soon we are going to begin
training in a few weeks. Thanks so much all of your encouragement, letters,
prayer and everything.  We are only allowed a short period of time to do
this quick email so I’m taking advantage of it now.   Will talk to you
soon!

In His Grace,

John B.
