Yes Mom, there are penguins in New Zealand I looked it up; apparently there are 6 different kinds of penguins so tells me the trusty internet. With the weather being how it has been these last few days I definitely do believe there are Penguins! It snowed here yesterday, not enough to leave anything on the ground but its still bitter cold. I hear that at home is nicer than it is here... Oh well.
Friday afternoon the whole group of us headed in to Christchurch to do Friday night Evangelism! But of course the first Friday night is different the then regular routine... I was so excited to go! When we got there we got sent out into teams of 4 to do a scavenger hunt around the city. It was such a fun time, it really helped us get to know our way around the city, and come closer to the people in our groups. We had to do a bunch of crazy stuff, Like find someone to sing Jesus loves me and record it... So April being the most brightest crayon in the box decided to ask everyone on the street that was coming our way... Well unfortunately I went up to this sweet little grandpa guy and asked him if he knew the song Jesus Loves Me.... and well this is what he said... " I'm sorry darling, but I'm completely deaf, were you asking me for directions?" Well I was completely stunned and felt absolutely terrible and all I could say was "I'm so sorry!!" meanwhile the rest of my team is trying so hard not to laugh. When we came back to the base a bunch of the guys were playing some instruments in the classroom, and of course me being me who loves music decided to go check it out... Well what went from a random jam session, ended up to be a few hours of worship! It was so awesome, and such an amazing time! Friday night= Success!!
Saturday we were suppose to go on our trip to Castle Hill which is on a mountain right behind our base, AND is where part of Narnia was filmed. But unfortunately it was a rainy day that was suppose to snow so the trip got canceled. So Mary-Loyd, Ryan, Issac, Phillip, Wyatt, Johnathan, Luca, and myself grabbed some instruments and decided to go to Christchurch to play on the streets! It was a awesome time! We played with a random boy and helped him make some money, and then we headed to the Botanical Gardens and played music in the most awesome tree I've ever seen. Picture this... a gigantic ever green but on the inside it was like a huge tent! Yup it was the coolest spot! And then some Asians really liked our music, so they came into the tree recorded us a bit then started taking their pictures in front of us... Kinda like how people do at Disneyland with the characters. so Saturday= Success!
So my weekend has been pretty awesome! yesterday was a pretty slack day, went to church did some slack lining, and read a book by the fire. Oh! Slacklining! Hey Scott and Adam! Yesterday I went all away across the slackline, turned and went all the way back! AND I can take a few steps backwards now!! I'm so stoked! I guess that's what happens when I slackline everyday here.
Well that's all for now, I'll write you guys again soon!!!
Blessings!
