Pohutukawa

So the incredible hosting has continued at the same brilliant standard the past day and a half. Our amazing host family has been kind enough to show us around Auckland and give us the “couldn’t find it in a book local info about the place” which includes teaching us some crazy new Zealand terms such as Pohutukawa (which is the name of a flower that blooms around Christmas time)which lets me practice my awesome kiwi accent (Laura laughs at it but I know she’s just jealous!).
Had such a nice time visiting stunning views, where I can somehow magically hold the famous Auckland Sky Tower in my very own hands!



We have also visited some lovely churches from the super old to the super huge! Just back from playing with our hostess’s gorgeous 18 moth old at the beach and are now waiting for our lift to the Scripture Union camp where we will be working for the next week with 16 – 18 year olds. We will probably be out of any wireless network considering we are camping on a random beach for the week (although I’m sure we will be carrying the beach in our shoes for much longer) so we will be writing the blog as we’re there and post it when we’re back next tues (our time). So gotta run for now! Will be in touch when we can! Praying we can share loads with everyone this week as we all hopefully learn from each other! Missing you guys and you’ra all in our prayers all the time! So thankful for all the great encouragement we’ve been receiving from home!! Anyhoo, we’ll be in touch!
