Micah is one week in to a two week school holiday. Early in the week, we went to Hamilton, about one hour south of Auckland, where Greg had three sessions at Equip Bible Conference (topic of sanctification), hosted by River City Bible Church. River City is a new church plant, pastored by TMS alum Bryan Martin. Wednesday we were able to meet up with Matthew & Tammy Anderson, Greg's long time mate from university. They minister in Auckand, with Campus Crusade. Thursday, we drove home, via Waitomo Glowworm Caves.
Later this week, Traci's small group from the ladies Bible study will come for a potluck lunch and Micah is planning on an overnight outing with his mates (as in sleeping in a tent). Mind you, it is winter and the weather report is for an Antarctic blast to whip through the country this week.
So here's a snapshot of a few ladies from Traci's small group. They gathered for a potluck lunch during the school holiday. Several were not able to make it, but they had a lovely time.
Also a couple of snapshots of Micah and his mates, who have come for a two-night sleepover. They built a small fire in the backyard and just minutes before dinner came requesting marshmallows. They are having a great time. Last night we played a couple of games out under the bright stars with our gumboots on and our flashlights in hand. In fact, as I write, they are down at the river doing who knows what! They took a backpack full of snacks, ginger beer and matches. Hmm, wonder what they'll get up to.
