Still Working Out What it Means to Be Saved By Grace

We might be mid-life but we are still
trying to discover the depths of faith, family and how we are to be
Christ-agents in this world in which we live. We are open to explore, ponder and
discover how God will use us in this phase of our lives. We desire to refine and
adjust ourselves while we reconnect to our pasts and make this transition to the
future. It isn't really about the destination but more about the journey....We
use each of you to sharpen us and hone us to be the people that God intended for
us to be. Will you share the journey with us? We love your comments!

A Wee Post

The Tour Guides with us
Janet's sister Lynley and Neil's Farm

The Pancake Rocks

Ian at his family farm on the West Coast

Narnia Country- near where the movie was filmed

Many things in NZ are called WEE... (don't you just love it?!?!?) so this is a wee post since we have been so busy on our whirlwind tour of the South Island and it is getting late. We covered 1,800 kilometers (1,100 miles) in four days and these were not interstate miles.... they twisted and turned and made even the best of us car sick at moments. But I can safely report that not one stretch of the countryside was boring or ugly! We have never seen so consistently beautiful country in our entire lives!?!? No wonder Ian was so eager to show it off to us!!! The people we met were all so gracious to welcome us as part of their lives... we saw all kinds of farming, gold mining, family and the like. It was amazing!!! I took well over 400 photos so there will be more to come but I thought you might like a taste. Tomorrow morning we get up at 4:30 am to catch our flight to Melbourne then right on to Tasmania where we will be for three days in our exclusive accommodations. So I better get to bed but thought you might like to know that we are fine and having the time of of lives!!! Love to all!

Those pictures are stunning - especially the one of you four in front of the lake.

I've been praying for weeks for your connections to work out tomorrow, and for good weather, which it looks like you've had.

I've been here a month now! Everything's going well. Fay and I just had fish & chips for lunch - but the fish is just a little gutted thing thrown in hot oil, face and fins still intact.

Safe travels - give Ian and Janet a hug from me.

Hannah-
We made all our connections... it was a really tiring day and the plane was late. Had to pay extra for backage. You had paid for domestic travel plus my bags were a bit heavy... imagine that?!?! But we made it. Henry Jones is wonderful. Our Eco Tour was amazing. No free internet though and I could make their network work so havent been able to post. We are in an internet cafe right now before we tackle our day of driving. Tasie is lovely!!! We are having the time of our lives! Thinking of you every step of the way!!! Miss you...XXOO
