Sweet As....

I have arrived in Auckland safely...and I love this place.

I got stopped at customs b/c my work permit wasn't in their system, but about 30 minutes later, I was finally on my way. A brother from the church in Auckland was at the airport to pick me up, and from there we went straight to church. Surprisingly, I slept most of the way on the plane, so I was able to stay awake during church. :)

The church here has welcomed me with open arms. I met a lot of people, and even though the church is small, there are quite a few singles. A bunch of us went out to lunch too, and I'm really looking forward to getting to know them better.

After 11 hours of sleep (I wish this was normal for me!), I woke up and went to my program's orientation. It was only about two hours long, and quite informative. There was a girl from Germany there, and so of course I had to talk to her. So after the orientation, we went and walked around a bit, then stopped by the bank. She later hung out with me and another brother from the church for most of the day.

Sadly, the job hunt begins tomorrow. While I've enjoyed my time relaxing since May, it's about time to start working again. I've got a few ideas as to where I want to apply, so hopefully one of those will work out.

I'm a bit tired still, so I think I might go crash now. I hope all is well back at home!
