We have Internet at our flat! Thanks for praying everyone!!!! I'm really excited to be able to communicate with you all more.
Last night we celebrated a national holiday in NZ-- Guy Fawkes Day-- think Memorial Day meets Fourth of July-- we saw some amazing fireworks over the harbour and got some delicious ice cream downtown. I think I'll celebrate Guy Fawkes Day every year from now on:). Sadly my teammate Kara got hit by one firecracker in the leg-- she has a battle wound but she'll be ok.
Today I'm going to have lunch with one of the girls who I hope to meet with every week during the school year. Her name is Johnie and I'm super excited. I have 4 girls who I may get to meet with every week so far. Please pray for Johnie, Abi, Rebecca, and Amy-- I can't wait to get to know them. Tonight I'm going to a student's art show which is supporting his summer project to East Asia-- how cool!
**Happy Birthday Dad and Allison-- Love you both and wanted you to know that your birthday is a national holiday in NZ-- I told you that these Kiwis are pretty smart.
And last but not least-- my new favorite Kiwi sayings-- "I can't be bothered" = I'm too busy and "I'm keen on a serviette"= I'd like a napkin.
Cheers and much love-- Lacey
