Queenstown!!

Once again i say hello,

So this past sunday our group just got back from Queenstown NZ, and oh my how beautiful. Seriously look at the pictuers if you do not believe me. We stayed at a christian campsite that overlooked the town. We finished up lectures that thursady and friday about the Kingdom of God. There is a church that meets in Wanaka NZ called The Lighthouse that also came down to help finish out the week. This group of christians were filled with the Holy Spirit for sure and i witnessed new things the whole weekend long. As you all may know i grew up in a southern baptist church my whole life, so when the church group started prophesying over people and laughing in the spirit and just worshiping in the spirit I was a little taken back. I was not scared in any way but everything was a little new. They also did this prayer thing. The best way i can describe is it like soultrain when everyone gets their chance to dance down the train. That is what it was like except we were not dancing down and the church would pray for us as we would pass them. Well i guess i cannot say that everyone was not dancing cuz some were dancing right on down that "train". I am probably not making sense so hit me up some how and i will explain better.
Ok moving on this past Saturday we then got to go riding at Snowpark NZ. For those who do not know of what i speak of i say you pick up a snowboarder magazine and chances are you will see shots from snowpark. IT was INCREDIBLE!!!! Seriously the day was a perfect day, it was no bluebird day but was amazing. I got to work more on park stuff seeing as it was just a place with park features and i got to witness of few of my friends here at the SDTS tear it up. I have come to realize that i need to be practicing even when i am sleeping in my bed. The whole weekend was a great new experience with the riding and with the times of worship it was a lot of fun. Oh, but i have come to find out that next time i am in a van full of girls going on long road trip i will either, #1 give everyone a sleeping pill, or #2 try to find another van. Apparently girls can get moody , especially when the have been in a car together for over 6 hours. Well that is all for now. Oh wait j/k. i forgot one thing. I did get to drive on the wrong side of the road on monday. i would like to say i have scary stories for you about that time but it was only down the street and no one was coming on either side. But, the steering wheel was on the other side so the amount of excitement was raised ever so slightly. Oh yeah and before i forget it looks like i will be heading of to the Fiji island for my outreach time. Alright, guys until next time buh bye!!!
