and the story continues! :)

soo... all the things we have done recently:
-ate lamb tail
-slept on a marae; this is where like moari communities grow up, come together, have funeral, big meetings and lots more that im sure im not aware of. but it was beautiful; we all got to sleep in the same room like 'family' (lots of snoreing and sounds! ahh)
-we have built some really sweet relationships with some girls from the school and church! awesome friends!
-got to walk 700 steps up a tower to see the point where the sun first rises in the world (it was beautiful, all of east cape had an amazing view!)
-got to paint the church at the marae, doing community service; such a good oppurtunity to help and serve
-got a radio in our big white van; sooo exciting! some new friends that we have made were able to fix it for us! soo nice of them!
-gone to the beach and played volleyball
-gone on a 9 hour drive to get to east cape, this pretty place where we painted the church
-we play settlers all the time; i miss it.
-we did a hangi; where we buried 370 lilttle containers of meat and veggies into this biggg hole in the ground and let it cook for like 5 hours. it was an experience and a half! getting up at 3am to start the fire and get the food in to cook
-we didn't end up doing that big long hike, instead we did a short one! about 2 hours; which still took us to really pretty views.. but my shoe got stuck in the mud and my sock and shoes were covered in that mud!
-we meet one of the guys off of the show called Shortland Street(its a really big deal over here in NZ... to us; not quite as much, but still cool! :)

im not sure of a whole lot else too say.. im sure theres more! so for now; heres some pictures :)
