What do parades, cotton candy, brazilian dancers, caramel apples, Scottish bagpippers, people walking around in bathing suites, and giant crains have in common? Well....not much except that they all made an apperance at the Mount Maunganui Christmas festival today (that I happend to attend by default when I was at work). Yes, we totally celebrate Christmas differently in New Zealand than those in the Northern Hemisphere do....but I think that is due to the fact that it is simply really hot outside. If we drank hot chocolate we would litterally start sweating!
This week is already turning out to be a busy one. I have yet to talk with Josh, as the internet connection where he is has been cutting out....but I have gotten a couple of emails. For all those parents of our students, be reasured, everyone is in high spirits and are busy getting down to ministry, mostly with teenagers. In a couple days Josh will leave the south and go to rejoin the team in the capital city. Hopefully communication will be better from there.
