Week 4 - Spent the week at Koinonia Institute located at the River Lodge just outside Taupo. Went for a Bible study on Monday night and didn't leave till Sunday morning. Great team working there. Met Chuck Missler and got to help out a little around the lodge.
Ron Matsen and his sons - Ben, John, and Matt, along with Dean Packwood produce DVD's and live streaming for Chuck ... along with a lot of other broadcasting stuff. Pretty impressive.
Equippers Church (click on Napier) on Sunday Morning.
We had lunch with the senior pastor, Lyle Penisula and his lovely wife, Debbie, then went back to church for the night service. Rockin!!
Hannah & Z continue to make friends everywhere we go.
We went to Reuben & Chloe Boyds for lunch on Monday so Z & Noah could scooter at the skate park. Reuben & Chloe used to be the Youth Pastors at Equippers Church so it was great to be able to spend an afternoon with them and learn about the church and program.
Look closely at this beach. It is all stones. The beach got pushed up in the Hawkes Bay Earthquake of 1931. All the sand washed away and they were left with tons and tons of these little stones. Interesting to tun in, but can't build a castle with them...unless you got a little mortar...
We seem to always find a playground for the kids to get out a little energy. Neat seeing all the different types. I'm getting really anxious though cause I haven't been biking, blading, or running and feeling super out of shape. Can't go running in the country - Many farmers have 9-10 Working DOGS. We enjoyed Lamb Roast dinner with Equippers Church-Napier Pastor Aaron and his lovely wife, Tania, who let us stay at there place for the night and get a fresh shower in the morning. |
