Hi All –
I heart NZ! So beautiful and the people are amazing! What am I learning? Well, I’m learning to let go…to just live and rely on God for all the details. He is in control. He works out ALL the details. For example; We didn’t have transportation from where we are living to our ministry site…but everyday we have had people offer to drive us or allow us to use their car. It is just the little things like that…that are making me so thankful.
Things are great…we are settled in at our home (which is a tent) for the month. It is amazing how comfy a tent can feel. Seriously…I love it. We have warm showers and a kitchen so we are happy campers…literally. : ) We are serving a church this week. Painting, nailing, sanding…they have a huge deck that overlooks amazing NZ rolling hills. We are working hard but feel so blessed to be doing it. The weather is absolutely amazing – 70 and breezy. There is no ozone layer here so you can get burned in literally 10 mintues. I started my healthy lifestyle this week…I’ve been getting up at 530am to run. I just want to make sure I can do my part to stay healthy this year…because we aren’t exactly eating the most balanced meals. Random but not balanced. : ) Love you all!
Until next time,
XOXO – Michelle
