Faith Week Pics and a bit of Outreach

Okay, finally, there are a few pictures from Faith Week posted on the photo albums website. You can click here, copy and paste the address below, or click the thumbnail photo next to the words New Zealand in the right-hand sidebar:

The newly added pictures start about midway down with the recent bouldering competition that took place at Castle Hill - those pictures are titled with a "Bouldering Competition" title. The new pictures include those and the pictures which follow. Please note that the pictures assembled are not a terribly good summary of the overall trip as Sara and Keia and I have yet to mass assemble all of the pictures that we have between us...

In other news it is now 3 weeks or so from our departure for outreach. Things are beginning to get a bit more busy and time flies by. We are looking forward to outreach and the aspect of learning for which that will bring (or at least I am).

As a first notice of sorts I would like to pass on the following: the specific locations to which we will be visiting on outreach will not be posted on this blog site, suffice to say we will all meet up in Israel in June after 10 weeks or so of outreach amongst the nations of the world. This is done for safety reasons to which I may be able to communicate later on. Furthermore, during the outreach period of April 2 - June 29 I will not be posting anything to this blog site nor will I be checking my email accounts. Again, this is done for safety reasons for both the team and the people we are visiting in the numerous locations - it is nothing more than a precautionary measure that shouldn't freak anyone out (including you Mom!). I may be able to post updates to the blog site when we arrive in Israel, but I can't guarantee anything.

Oh, on another note, if you get a chance to view the movie "The World's Fastest Indian" then do so - its a grand movie about Burt Munro who set some speed records back in the 1960's. Munro was from Invercargill near the southern most tip of the South Island of New Zealand - it's a story of perseverance and a dream and successfully captures some of the New Zealand spirit that is occasionally found throughout the South Island (unfortunately, the ridiculous aspects of the western world are creeping into the South Island..). Go see the movie even if motorcycles are not an interest for you.
