And the journey begins…
We are officially in New Zealand!!! All of the stories you have heard about the landscape and weather being perfect and beautiful are most certainly TRUE. Is is nice to have summer weather again. We are located in Crystal Springs, Matamata (near where the hobbit town of Lord of the Rings was filmed). It was good to be reunited with everyone again since being at training camp. We will be staying here in crystal springs until Saturday and then our teams will be shipped off to different locations to begin our ministry! Being in New Zealand is surreal. I always KNEW this day would come…where I would abandon everything and pack my life into one backpack to travel the world doing whatever God had in store for me…but I never actually THOUGHT the day would come. As I counted down the days until my launch it became more and more real. Now that I am actually here it is hard to believe that everything is begining to happen. I am sad to leave my friends and family at home but excited to see what God has in store for me.
I will not have access to internet for the next 3-7 days. I will keep everyone posted whenever I can. Please continue to keep me and my team in your prayers. We all need a lot of strength to get through these first couple weeks of being away from home. Thank you again to all the supporters who helped make this happen. I would not be here right now if it weren’t for you!!
