Nearly there

Hey guys just thought I would get another post up before we go as I don’t know how much time we will have tomorrow.

Had a great day today at St Chad’s today, getting to know the part of the encounter team from Auckland. Had some final training and team building exercises that got us to thing like a team and getting us to support each other. It was a long day but very much worth it, if not just for the awesome Fijian curry that we had for dinner, sitting on the floor and eating it with our hands.

One of the things that I got from today was that as humans we wish to fix and help most people that we see. To do this we normally tell them what they have to do and how to do it but I came to realise that sometimes it is better to allow them to solve the problem out them selves and if they can’t we should only give them the tools to solve the problem. In doing this we let them grow as a person and it is their own achievement as they solved it them selves. I think some times God is doing this when he doesn’t answer all our prays or does so in a strange way. He is getting us to solve the problem ourselves so that we may grow in our selves and grow in our faith of him.

I would like to thank Lea and Derek Tovey for letting us stay in their house well we are in Auckland.

God Bless

John
