Family's Here

It has been way to long since my last blog, please forgive me. I guess I just got really busy with the end of the semester finishing up. It was really weird saying goodbye to some people that, realistically, I might never see again. The semster finished up great though. And now I am traveling with my family and we are currently in Neslon in the south island, Horay! They got here late friday night and drove to the Lodge(where ABS was). We stayed there with Andrew and then the next day headed into Cambridge to see the school (Monavale) and get some groceries. Then off we went! Our first stop was in Waitomo caves area where we did an undergroud caving tour and saw the famous glow worms...very beautiful, and stayed the night there. The next day we headed more south and did a bit of driving and ended up in a small beach town on the west coast, Hawera Beach. Then the next day was more driving in the beautiful landscape of NZ and south to Wellington, where we took the ferry to Picton in the south island. The ferry was SO ROUGH in the start, up and down and up and down, but as we got further out it leveled out a bit-felt a little sick though. Once in Picton we got right on the road and drove to Havelock for some seafood (altho I ordered pupmpkin soup, yum!) and then made our way to Nelson to stay the night with a couple my parents met on their Israel trip. And thats where I am now. So what has God been doing in my life lately? I really enjoy my quiet time with Him every morning and seriously it makes or breaks my day, I just feel malnurished(spiritually) if I dont spend time with Jesus. And I am excited that I have that desire. I've been reading 1John everyday-great book. Its only 5 chapters, I recommend taking 5-10 minutes and reading it. I guess thats my challenge to you all. (1 John is found in the end of the Bible right after 2 Peter). Alright thats enough for now...I'll keep more updates and maybe some pictures coming.
