Leaving for Matamata

Sat. Sept 10

Hello friends. Just to give all of you the "heads up" I will not be at
school next week, so if you e-mail/write me I won't answer until @
least Sept.19 because all of the students from Capernwray are going to
Matamata for ministry week. The only way I can really explain ministry week
is that it's like a "mini missions" trip. Wel split up into groups and
focus on one main part of ministry. My group is in charge of bible in
schools assemblies because the bible is still allowed to be taught in NZ
schools which is really awesome! so ya I"ll try to give you some
stories to read when i get back in a week or so but we'll see. I'm also doing
my testimony (tomorrow), teaching a sunday school lesson (tomorrow),
involved in a puppet play, and kids clubs....and this is all next week!
so prayer for all of that would be really awesome! Thanks.
and no Felicia, I did NOT get a job in New Zealand. When I mentioned
"work" i meant work day because every wednesday we either have indoor
duties or outdoor duties. so just to clarify I did not get a job! (I don't
know if she reads this but if not, will someone clarify that to her
from me? Thanks)

I've been getting alot of e-mails saying "why haven't you written me
back yet? you don't write me anymore" I'm sorry? What was that? I don't
write YOU anymore? well this is how my "system" works, if you e-mail me,
I'll try to e-mail you back within a week or so (unless it's ministry
week) then your e-mail goes into a folder that I've made for you so I
know I don't have to reply to it again. Once it's in the folder, I've
written you back. However for some people it takes them about 2-4 weeks to
reply back to me, and THEN they claim that I don't write them. This has
been a very common theme this week and it's been coming up alot in
e-mails from friends back home. Now i don't know if they'll be reading this
or not but I"ll still post it on the blog. I"m just really frustrated
when people claim that I don't write them back when I've sent them
e-mails, cards, and postcards. Remember I'm going to Bible school down here,
I have assignments due too, I'm the one that left home, and I"m the one
that's in a new country. so i really encourage you to keep the contact
up from your end because I really do appreciate hearing from you guys.
Some of you i have even phoned and that costs WAY more money than an
e-mail and a letter. if you want to call me, just e-mail me and ask for
the number. simple as that. But ya, I really do encourage you guys to
keep it up on your end. thanks :) I"m not trying to "guilt trip" you
guys, I'm just stating how i feel so you know because if I don't say
anything now I'll probably explode or something when i get home. I hope to
hear from you guys soon!!
