Rainy Day

So it is quite a rainy day today, but it seems that no matter how the weather is, Kaikoura remains beautiful. The frost on the windows makes me want to drink a cup of tea, snuggle up on a couch and just draw a picture. I would totally do that but I can't determine what kind of picture I would draw. We'll see what happens in time. Last night we had a "Community Wreath" activity, which was an arts and crafts time that allowed us to learn a little more about ourselves and each other. We searched through magazines and cut out colorful pieces of paper to construct an ornament that represents us. It was very interesting seeing and hearing the creation which each person made. I really love this group. Each person has something different to give to the group; it's beautiful just to hear each person speak of things they've learned in life and to in turn learn from them. The walk into town is quite long in comparison to anywhere I've walked in Huntington, minus the time I decided to backpack through Orange County, but the walk has been such a blessing. It is always filled with great conversation and laughter. I know God is going to use that time to really bless me and teach me a lot. Plus, we get to look at and pet the cute farm animals along the way :) 

Tomorrow I get to go on our student trip adventure for 3 days. I think all of us are going to Christchurch for a little city time. I can't wait to take a day to look cute. We've all been slummin it lately. It will be fun. Gardens. City. Adventure. Well anyways, I must go to Marcel's birthday party now! Cheers!
