A New Chapter...

I GRADUATED!!!!! Last night we all graduated from DTS. It really doesn't feel real to me yet, it feels like we all just arrived last October! God has really taught me so much here in little 'ol Oxford New Zealand, I was sitting with my friend Lydia in our room as we were packing and I told her it felt like we had lived here for four years like college and now I have to pack my life up and move on! Such a crazy feeling it is! I have loved the time I have spent here though, good and not so good times they were. All the stories we have and all the memories of what we learned through situations! Just how amazing God is! It is for sure a new chapter that I'm starting, I am leaving with 3 friends tomorrow for the North Island. We are traveling around for about a month together, it will be splendidly fun as we go and live out what we have learned for the past 5 months. I will keep you all updated on my travels and where we are and where we are headed. But for now this is a short update because I have to continue packing my life up into a 65 liter backpack, not exactly the easiest thing to do when you have collected things over the past 5 months and after visiting 4 countries I have accumulated so much! Thank you all for the prayers as well, I hope everyone is doing good and that you are all staying warm! It is finally summer here in NZ, but it's going into fall. God bless you all!
