The Trip

We are finally here....but it took a little while to get here:) Here are some snapshots from the trip. To the left picture is Zach weighing Sean's luggage! Each bag that we checked had to weigh less than 50 lbs.
The right pictures is the 3 girlies hanging out the night before we flew out!


Here we have Allisa Hodge on the left and Ruthie Martin on the right! The Hodges and Ruthie drove us to the airport! Thanks guys!

The left picture was taken during one of out layovers. We were in transit for 33 hrs total! We had different flights. We were thankful that the traveling was VERY smooth. We praise God for the opportunities we had to share Christ with many people during our flights and layovers. The airports being full with people from all over the world present wonderful opportunities for cross cultural evangelism.
The picture to the right was taken during our 13 hour flight from the U.S to Northern New Zealand. It was LONG:) Sam and Nate are sitting in front of Megan and another passenger.

One thing that has been tripin us our has been the driving. In New Zealand they drive on the left side of the road! It is really different!
Everything we had always heard about the beauty of New Zealand was so so true! I only wish these pictures did justice to what we really saw! It is absolutely gorgeous here!!!


One of the first things Josh (the campus director here) had planned was to send the team out to Farms outside the city! He wanted the team to get a taste of what he called "true New Zealand culture". They had the opportunity to on sorts of things on the farms and to see the beautiful New Zealand countryside.
Zach and I got to stay with Josh and his wife Kirsten. We had the opportunity to rest and to get to know them better. It was wonderful! They love Jesus so much and love the campus! We are very excited about parternering with them these next few weeks.
