Hello!
so this week is ministry preparation week so me and 8 other sweet student are all on a team together and we are sent to a specific church to help them with whatever they need(like with lawn care, ministry work, etc.) and then in the afternoons our team gets to do soccer with the kids. and some of you might be like what? you soccer? BUT im getting better haha. plus i like working with kids so its all good. :)
Other than that ive been hanging out in the beautiful sunshine and thinking about my 2 week break. (Sep. 26-Oct. 10) which is some exciting news because i am going to fly down to Christchurch in the lower east coast of the south island WOO HOO! Its me, gloria, jill, corina, debbie, and rachel. We got our roundtrip tickets for $115, which is an AMAZING price, (give thanks to God for sure)While we are down there we are going to spend some time at a hostel and using their bikes to get around and then other times staying at churches and maybe the public transit, like get a metro pass? Also we will be on the beach, going to see live music, festivals, and just taking every good opportunity that comes our way :)

Side note: October 12-November 23ish I will be on ABS(Adventure Bible School) and pretty much adventure=hiking, waking up each morning and exercise, Bible stuff, its only 18 people so its like growing a family, and the rest is surprise (so each day we dont really know whats going to happen, and previous students that have been on it are sworn to secrecy). Also very little communication with the outside world!!
