alright so, i arrived yesturday to rainy oxford new zealand. it's a nice quaint place... w/ the metropolis only being about 1,400 people. i kinda thought that may be a problem as i like to spread my wings and fly out to meet absolutely everyone... but for now i think that this is where i should be. i should make some closer, meaningful friends. so, i'm kinda excited about that. this is life right now. and, i think that i'll be alright 'cause i just have a feeling that this is right where God wants me. and i should focus on that adjenda more than my own more of the time. so, here i am and there will be no complaining! haha...
so, it's easter sunday out here and as happy as i am to celebrate it... i'm going to miss the supper with my family today. i hope that it's going to be a good family dinner minus me!
so, there are 15 students out here, and 6 staff. so, it seems to be rather small! ya, so there are 6 girls in one room (i'm in that room) and then there are 4 in a different room. and then there's a 5 boys room as well. it seems rather nice, and we're all in one house. so, it's kinda intense. oh, and another thing that i found rather funny is that everyone packed tones of stuff! like, i mean i thought that we were only allowed one backpack and then a carry-on. so, that's what i brought, but people were hauling out the suitcases and all the such... i just thought that it was kinda funny!
anyways, the base is pretty small and there is a church right next to it... which is small as well. everything is so quaint! it's going to be awesome. yesturday was a bit overwhelming but it seems to be dieing down right now. the beginning jitters are becoming more stable and i'm beginning to become comfortable. thanks for all the love and i hope that everyone else's easter is going well too!
have a good one... and keep me posted i have pretty liberal amounts of time that i can be on the internet, so just e-mail away!

hey danae!
just found your blog and have quite enjoyed reading your posts (by the way, nice tattoo) and seeing how your adventure has gone so far. we pray not only for your safety, but that this experience will be even more than you hoped it would be! we missed you at easter but know that this is worth a few missed gatherings (remember, no matter how far you go - you will always be a part of this family! the grip is tight!! hee! hee!).
