autumn/fall

Well it's here, it's fall, in NZ we say Autumn, but until writing this blog that didn't even cross my mind. It is strange the longer I'm here the less I use NZ termanology.

the beginning of Fall in KC is a lot like an NZ Summer, the sun is still warm and just cooler temperutures. I know it's really fall because tonight I switched my winter/summer wadrobe, which doesn't take very long as I don't have that many clothes, it's just getting out my super warm clothes from a bag and replacing them with summer tank tops and dresses that I wont wear 'till I VISIT NEW ZEALAND. I'm already super excited and it's still 4 months away but it'll go fast I know it. And my friends here will get the countdown too, I think I will start at 30 days.

My friend Sarah will probably come for 2 1/2 weeks which is so exciting to actually travel with someone else. I have done this trip quite a few times now so the idea of having someone in line with me is nice and being able to show her my country.

The end and the beginning

Well, Orientation with our interns is over. Which means I will no longer spend most of my day in the multipurpose room though I have to say I have really enjoyed orientation. Stuart spoke a lot about fellowshipping with the Holy Spirit it was so helpful and simple. Talk to God. all the time. About the Word.

I'm alone in my room for the first time since last Friday as one of my interns from last track stayed in my room until her apartment was done. I loved having her stay with me and staying up a little late talking about Jesus, we had a wonderful conversation last night about the cross that brought us both to silence, just wanting to think about the Lord's goodness.

Now Orientation is over FITN really begins, I'm starting to work on connecting with my eight interns, taking classes, doing what we do. I love it. And love Jesus through it all.

That's all for now
