Much has happened since my last post. Before I dropped Justin and Lisa (the other outreach leaders) off at the airport we took a 4 day trip to Coromandel on the East coast, where we picked apples, surfed, camped, hiked, laughed, tanned and explored. It was probablly one of the best few days of my life. Then I came back into Oakridge and realised I had not taken enough time off. Fortunatly I had a rush visit from Deanne madden and Bo Haugrud from Calgary, and it was definatly needed! Then we were off on a 3 day conference of the NZ Base staff in Matamata. ( Where Hobbinton was located in Lord of the Rings) Very beautiful town. We left that town on Friday at 5, then had the DTS arrive the next day. It's been full on since then, and I must say- it's all God now, because I have nothing left in my own strength. It is hard to accept that I do not have the reserve or motivation for this school. God has so much to teach me. This is worth it, but it isn't easy- I'm so thankful that I have been given the outreach off. I was working it back, and I haven't had more than 4 holiday days off in a row since 2006 in the summer, I think that this coming summner will prove to be a much needed regenerative time. Thankyou so much Mom and Sarah for the care package, and shan for your letter and to everyone else for the skyping and the e-mails. They are my life line it a normal existance. ( so dramatic i know) lol But it is so very much appreciated!
Love Laura
