Quick update

woah almost a month has gone by since my last one...
right now I am in the middle of 2 week break, but unlike my last one in October I am just hanging around Cambridge area and the Lodge on lake karapiro. It's fall, but not many trees drop their leaves here. Tonight is the first night of Xposure (a camp for 14-18 yr olds that Andrew is leading, and im cooking) but tomorrow i have to leave for the day to help out with a wedding! I'm really excited.
Oh yea! and last thursday night I left here at 11:30 pm and Andrew and I drove 3 hours to Mt. Doom (you know from Lord of the Rings :) ) and started hiking at 3am ish! we got to the top just in time for the AMAZING sunrise-like a big fire in the sky and we could see for miles and miles. On our way up it was a bit foggy then we broke through the clouds and we walked the rest of the night/morning in the light of a big full moon. (lots of stars out too) talk about gorgeous, probably one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen, also one of the hardest things I have ever done, but you dont really remember that part of it.
Monday and tuesday I might be spending with my billets from this past ministry week. They are amazing people! We stayed up most nights and talked till pretty late and just you can really see how much they trust God. Also they have 5 kids with one on the way...all 6 and under!!!It reminded me of my cousins :). The kids were a blast and real cute.
After break is done I will be going back to Monavale and I got asked to intern in the kitchen!! I am really really really pumped for that. baking and cooking are kinda my thing. Plus the chef there is really cool and I just know I am going to learn alot. I'll still be going to lectures and have homework and stuff, but with a different dynamic added.
Keep me in your prayers, I really miss home...only about 80 days left.
Keep reading 1 John..the more you read it the more God reveals things to you, open up yourself to Him.
(>>Andrew is coming to visit around the time I get home...hope you all are excited to meet him :) he says hi.)
