Pics: Oxford, New Zealand (South Island) (4/4-4/14)

Oxford, New Zealand!
(Near Christchurch, & Near YWAM base)
Staying @ the Shaskey's House; Such a great family!!; Easter Sunday w/ Family & Local church... Reminded me of Easter @ my Grandparent's home - on a farm, Easter egg hunt, great food, and family!!; YWAM (Youth With A Mission) Base in Oxford, about a 3 mile walk from Shaskey's house... have been here, updating my blog w/ all these pics! Met some great people - That's Jen in red, leader of snowboarder DTS, Matt from Alaska (letting me use his computer ALL day long to update this blog!!), and another girl from Kansas... White & Red house is the base; then the beautiful Farm/Mountain scenery all around... very peaceful. My 2 little buds - Daniel and cousin Ryan - SO cute! They like to do science projects, and were very happy to hear that I used to be a science teacher!! Last pics are of the Shaskey Family all over for Sat pm dinner before Easter, and then EASTER SUNDAY!!

This is truly beautiful!!!I'm so glad that there are still people that truly, 100%, without a doubt know that everything God does, he does for a reason. May he continue to bless you on your path and I hope to hear from you whenever you get the chance!

Love,
Angie Parrish

how fun to see all your pictures and continue to "travel" vicariously through you! So glad to hear that all is going quite well with you. Isn't it amazing that you're on the other side of the world, and yet there are still people who glorify our same God? Way cool...
discussed in Bible study tonight...."Everything Fits"...think on that today :) God is in it all!!
