Sydney or Bust

T-minus two day to lack of internet again. My time at YWAM auckland has been interesting. A little restoration, a little spiritual atacks, one good knock on the noggin (litterally, got a nice bump to prove it), and and couple of new found friends. All is well. So in two days I again head to the end of the pennisula. 2 weeks for Christmas there. And then its Sydney or bust. And at this point its a 50/50 shot, Sydney...or bust. The plane, ferry and visa are set. Now there are just the little details, like where to sleep for a week :-) - ours fell thru a couple days ago.
But I get to see my dear friend for a week on the other side of the world. I get to see the opera house I have oogled for so long I can't believe this is for real. I get to spend New Years Midnight on a ferry crossing cook straight (long story I'm sure I will tell my kids someday).
So much more to tell, and I can't explane any of it. So for now.
Soli Deo Gloria

1 red parrot fish, 1 three ft shark, and pics from NZ

After almost two months in the land of the Kiwis I finally got to go fishing this past weekend. A gang from nelson came to hang out (it was a blast) and so Tim took a group of about 20 of us fishing for real. It was soooo much fun! After 2 blue cod (what you primaraly catch here) and 1 one really cool parrot fish, my line got snagget, but it wasn't a snag. After much debate we figure out it wasn't a snag, then after MUCH battleing I hauled in a 3ft shark. He turned out to be the biggest catch of the day and probably the most fun I have had in years. I promise to post a pic as soon as I have it (Kristy took it with her camera and is emailing it to me.)
So here I am, Auckland. 2 weeks almost at Jesika's and I am again roaming the country side....sort of. I'll be up here for the next week. Mostly hanging out at YWAM bases, and seeking God, with a little tourism mixed in. Thru God's amaizing ways I am still hoping to get over to sydney for a week before I head home. With 2 weeks and holidays at Jesika's imbetween this trip and that one.
I'm here for a bit with real internet, so I will fill in more later. For now, enjoy the Pics I finally got uploaded. There strewn thruout the last month (start at the Oct. Archives.) Enjoy! P.S. the two pics here are just random ones. NZ loves there one way bridges, this was the best....wanna play chicken witha train??
