Safe arrival and first lectures

Well, here I am in NZ. I've decided to try posting my own website so you can all keep up to date on the goin's on around here. This is going to be such an incredible growth experience for me. I can already feel myself being stretched and challenged in some ways. I've almost completed my first week of lectures. I am learning so much about the life of Jesus and the relationship He had with the Father and so the relationship that I myself must strive for. What an awesome journey.
Next week we will be learning which groups and what countries we each will be visiting when we depart for outreach in May. I am so excited to go wherever God leads. I beg for your continued prayers that I will be open, and submissive to everything that God brings to me. Without that spirit of reverence and submission, none of this will be worth a thing. So I continually lay down my reservations and fears to Him to fill me with more than I could have thought even possible. I am so grateful for all of your individual emails and am greatly encouraged. I warn that I probably will not have much opportunity for many individual email responses. So just know that I think of you all and smile at every new letter! It is soooo encouraging. I love and appreciate you all more than you could know. Please take care and keep my updated on yourselves as well eh!
