January 2009 activities

Even though we've all been working very hard, we have still found time to have some fun!

Phillipa and myself had the awesome opportunity to take our new friends out sightseeing in Wellington this week...

Our new friends are Olwin and Nilla from Indonesia and they will be studying with us this year...

We went sightseeing and then we took them tenpin bowling, which they had never done before and they enjoyed it alot - along with Shawna and Talei...

Back at College for 2009

Well Christmas and new years is over and it's back to college life - it's pretty quiet down here though and I've been suffering from the flu but I had a great holiday...

It was a fun Christmas day with my family and I enjoyed watching my nephew Taj open his presents...
My parents and myself had the great privilege of visiting Tiri tiri matangi island, which is a bird sanctuary and got to enjoy the flourishing Saddleback that were everywhere in the bush...
We got to meet Greg, the Takahe, who is huge and likes to steal your lunch - naughty boy!

And we also got to enjoy the Hihi (stitchbird), which was also flourishing on the island and everywhere in the bush.

I had a great and relaxing holiday and look forward to seeing what God has in store for me this year...

I'll keep you all posted...
