After a great 13 hour flight on a huge New Zealand Airlines 747 plane I found that I was quite tired. I got picked up at Auckland airport and drove about 10 minutes to Kings Kids around 9 o'clock a.m. NZ time. Kings Kids is where I will be staying untill Saturday evening where we will be taking the 2 hour drive up to the base in Matamata. I was the 3rd student to arrive and about 8 have come since. We are expecting 15 students in our whole DTS. Mostly all of Thursday I slept and relaxed and talked with the other DTS students. I woke up today (Friday) and made some breakfast and talked with the leaders and some students. At about 12 o'clock me and 3 other girls had a great time of worship just playing random songs. It was a great start to this "school of worship." Around 3 we left for Auckland City. In the city we walked around and went in different local shops, it was quite fun. We ate at a Japanese resturant and just sat and talked until we had to leave again to return to Kings Kids. I am heading to bed now and looking forward to finally settle in at our base in Matamata.
p.s. I love the weather here. Today it was quite windy but sunny. Very beautiful and green!
Your prayers are much appreciated.
