Earthcare NZ Debrief and Grad

It is FINISHED! I can't believe it but the Earthcare School finished on friday night with the student grad night. It was emotional and teary and we had about 70 people show up for it, which was really remarkable considering the size of our school. We had a presentation to give the next DTS last thursday, it went very well. It's been just wonderful to have some of the students and staff around from the the Backpackers and Cross roads DTS come back to base to help and visit us on our debrief week. I've been able to catch up with 3 backpacker staff and just have some awesome down time with them and with a local family that has really taken me in, and I am very grateful for.

The students all but leave tomorrow save one girl, who has malaria and has been in the hospital since thursday night. I'll be able to go and pick her up this  coming monday. I'll have debrief for three days and from there I really don't know. I don't know my place at the base, or how long I'm staying, I'm hoping I'll get some decent time to pray and seek God's next step and spend some time somewhere quiet. I'll be heading up north to visit the Blythen family again and just chill out. There is much more that has happened, but I haven't been able to record it fast enough.

This saturday I Hiked Mt. Oxford with some amazing people and we worshiped on the top and prayed for the town of Oxford and for one another. It was wonderful. The people here are really kind and have really made me feel welcome.

Love to you all
Laura Yemen
