It has been an incredible week! After a few days off the never-ending track, we are in Queenstown and let's just say God is SO faith-FULL. Natalie is hearing Him say something and next thing we know God is rocking us. We are staying in a hostel in the middle of town where so many people our age are. It was so weird to hear people partying until 4am on Christmas Eve, when I myself am used to hanging out with my parents (aka going to bed at 11pm). We are sharing a dorm room with a couple named Rob and Joanne (Joey). They are awesome. They played Uno and Apples to Apples with us on Christmas.
So we woke up on Christmas, opened presents, drank coffee, and enjoyed one another's company. That afternoon we were going to walk around and maybe get a bite to eat, but Natalie felt she should go across the street to a Church called On the Rock. As she waved us down we found that the church was expecting us and had made lunch for us! I had written them an e-mail to ask if they needed help with anything on Christmas, but they responded saying they weren't going to do anything. Surprise, free lunch! We talked with them for awhile, but they all needed to leave to do family things and ended up leaving us a key to the church. They have a espresso machine (Seth it is so nice), which they said we could use and invite others to. There is also free wifi, which I am finding is a rarity. The craziest part is that they also have a massage table and supplies (Natalie was freaking out). We can use everything! God is crazy. We were pumped and decided to ask the Lord if we should stay in Queenstown longer and skip Wanaka. We felt we should stay, so here we are. We are going to get a couple rooms at Reavers (THANK YOU SHERPA FOR THE TIP!), and live it up!
The team is bonding well. We are learning to live intentional, while being ourselves.
Prayer Requests: Continuously seeking God, and loving each other.
