frost at my window
Kia ora from New Zealand! I've been here about a week now and what a week it's been. This moment finds me in Queenstown, which is a tourist town down south. I've been here a few days living with brothers and sisters in a community house. Honestly, I don't have words for an update, but a brief one is in order I'm sure. Well, God is moving. He is very much alive and here. I've had so much revelation this week as has everyone I'm sure and am currently diving into the book of Exodus (which I recommend if you haven't read it) One of the things we're really trying to live out here is being Mary while being Martha, that is, sitting at Christ's feet in everything we do. It's not just a thing to do Sunday mornings. God doesn't live in a building. He's omnipresent. And He makes house calls! This means we can feast on Him anywhere-did you know God loves housework?! Just one example of many. It's nippy down here as it's winter, but our Spirits aren't fazed-in fact, they're really stirred. We start most mornings off with some corporate prayer and today was really powerful, declaring God's goodness and provision among other things. Yesterday I found myself eating dinner at a table where 8 different nations were represented. 8 different nations! Life is good.

I'm glad that your time in New Zealand has been well spent and enjoyable for you. I don't know which I'd prefer: winter's frost outside or the hot summer son. Right now we are in the middle of a heatwave, with Tuesday being the hottest day we've had this week. It's cooled down a lot since that day though. Today my mom, aunt and I are going to Altona to attend a faspa put on by the MCC's staff as apart of the sunflower festival, and in the evening the two of them are going to a reunion for the telephone operators that used to work for MTS as they once worked there in that position, and I'm going to spend the evening with Maria. It should be a good day.
Keep updating your blog. You write well.
