church serving week

hey everyone. if i'm not responding to your e-mails this week it's b/c we are on chruch serving week. we are in a small New Zealand town called "Leestown". it seems to be going well. we're working on the new shed that will be used as a youth center later on. and we have been working with the youth quite a bit as well. it's interesting to get to know them, and really fun to just be apart of their community. we are doing a fear factor night on friday and i will be giving a 5 minute "sermon" for around 80 people. we also shared with a smaller group yesturday, around 50 kids, and each of the ywamers said their testimony. it went really well.

during this week we are staying with a NZ family. it's awesome! they're dairy farmers and i woke up on tuesday to go out milking. it was so cool! we got all the cows in to do the milking, and we got everything organized for the automatic milking system. it was so worth doing! and the family kind of reminds me of home. it's so interesting!

see ya later!

Hi Danae, Thanks for the interesting information on your week. I especially like the part where you said that you got up early to help with the milking. Living with a farm family and working with the youth of the community sure sounds like a great experience. Praying that your mini sermon will be blessed with the Holy Spirit working in you. Keep the posts coming - I love reading about your adventures and also the every day things happening to you in New Zealand.
Love, Mom
