We have finally arrived to Takaka. It is the hippie hang out of New Zealand. We left Queenstown on Sunday after church and headed for Franz Josef. When we were about an hour and a half away we were waved down and told the road was flushed away by enormous amounts of flooding. As we were wondering where on Earth we would stay for the night and praying about somewhere free, we were told to go to the local Marae. They opened up there building for us that night and fed us dinner! It was an incredible blessing for our team and a few others too. We played a few games and slept on cushiony mattresses fit for a queen.
The next day we picked up Leonard from Franz Josef and set our eyes for Takaka. We are now staying at a campsite called Hang Dog, with Leo as our chef. We didn't realize how bad of cooks we all were until Leo showed up. Seriously, we have no idea (or maybe it's just me) what we will do when we leave him in five days. At the campsite, we are loving the chill atmosphere and people. They have a slackline set up that is more like a huge catapult. I got launched off it and beaten by the webbing. Matt is loving it though. He is showing his expertise (Kent you would be so proud of your dear friend).
We are having some good talks with people. With that said...
Prayer Requests:
- more in-depth conversations
- showing Christ in all we do
- divine appointments
We are loving the updates guys, keep them coming! We are praying for you all! Earthcare and Crossroads, you all just flipping rock! Many blessings.
Love,
The team who is too cool to need a sweet name (NZ/Fiji)
