Solscape!

On the way to Raglan we happened upon 2 hitchhikers named Dani and Keely who were trying to get back to Raglan. We asked them for good places to stay and turns out they work at Solscape, a beautiful hostel/campground deal just out of town. Totally God. We loved it as it was a small, close community kind of like Hangdog, and we ended up meeting great people there and having great discussions about what we believe and stuff. One girl even ended up becoming a Christian, glory to God! We gave our friends backpacker Bibles which they received well and another cool thing was when one of them shared mate with us (argentinian green tea). It's in this beautiful cup that you pass around and keep adding water to. I personally didn't like the taste, but was still priviliged that she shared part of her culture with us. We are currently at Joanna's house! (our kiwi friend/registrar) and it's such a blessing to be in a home after hosteling/camping. Denver (school leader) is here too and it's great to see him again. We're stoked to fly to Fiji in 3 days!!!! I'll be honest, it hasn't quite hit me yet...looking forward to some worship/intercession group time tonight. Oh yeah, I've been the "leader" this week, so that's been interesting. Definitely stretched me and given me more appreciation for our leader...next update will probably be from Fiji! Some quotes I've happened upon to give you something to think about today:
-no one can do everything, but everyone can do something
-act as if what you do makes a difference. it does.
-you already possess everything necessary to become great

Cheers!
