Soo.. I’m not too sure how often Ill be able to get online because apparently the internet over here is so ridiculous that you have to pay per megabyte. The internet cafes are $8 an hour! But, the school leader Josh was telling me that the hot springs “resort” has wifi that the base picks up on, and for.. 300 dollars.. for three months you can get access to it. So I might do that if I can find some people to split it with.
…I was going to write more here but the script is lagging behind a good 5 seconds per letter and it isn’t very fun…
My flight was good though- slept 75% of it, and watched Into The Wild for the last leg. (Really good movie btw, I wanna buy the book now.)
I’ll post more when I get a chance.
Love and miss you all.

So glad you made it safe and sound:) Into the Wild is a terrific book btw–guess I’ll see the movie now that it’s been recommended.
Praying for you!

Hey Ben. I love the blog. hope you can find people to share the expense of wifi so you can post often. Have been praying for you a lot–last night too (probably that was why you noticed noone was boarding at “your gate”… take advantage of the next 2 days in the “big city”. Love you and miss you a lot! Mom

Miss you and hope you are having the time of your life. Had my first chcolate tasting party yesterday, went pretty good. Ali and Jon and Josh and Will and Mel and Evie spent the week end, it was cold so the warm fire felt good. It was nice having everyone together, but it was obvious we were not all together as you were very much missed by all. Let us know how you are doing with an email, you can write a lot in an email and just send it to us all. Much love, Dad

Hope you’re having a blast! it’s cold here and the work goes a lot slower without you. If you cant get to an internet cafe too often, just write your blog entries on your word processer, then cut and paste them when you get the chance. Miss you

Sorry I made you wait in the phone booth. The first time must have been a wait because I got a phone call and it might have been longer than 10 minutes. Now that we have ways of communicating by your blog it will be easier. Will and Melanie went to church with us last week and Richard shared a great message on the fear of the Lord. Richard and I are meeting for coffee on Tuesday…he called me and wanted to meet. I reallly like him, perhaps that is where we belong. It is Sunday morning again and Mom and I are on our way to church again. I am glad you are finding New Zealand to be everything you expected, I would love to experience it also. Take lots of pictures so you can give us a good overview of your experiences. Will has been changing over his set up to a trailer that his dealership is letting him use. I hope they do not change their minds later on as it would be a lot of work to take it all back down. The set up sounds goo though as the trailer is about as big as the back of my truck. I am looking forward to some warm weather so I can work with him once in a while, I miss our times together…you, Will and me working together trying to break anoather record. Well, I better leave for Church, hate to miss the worship. I love you and miss you. Dad
