Great Weekend

Well, we had such a blessed weekend, although were thoroughly disapointed with the Lions result on Saturday night - it was a bit of a shocker!!!

On Friday night we celebrated our wedding aniversary in style - a couple from St Paul's paid for us to spend a night in a penthouse suit in a very posh hotel in the centre of Auckland; we were up on the 11th floor so had spectactular views through our 2 story high window. We went out for dinner also, at the revolving restaurant at the top of the sky tower which was awesome - such an incredible meal, and felt so cheap in comparison to what you pay in England!!!

We moved into our flat on Saturday morning and we love it - although we dont have any furniture yet apart from a bed, it is just so awesome to be so close to the sea and a great promenade with awesome coffee houses all over the place.

Sunday went really well, and I am starting to feel a little more settled as the worship leader - we still are in need of more musicians so will be praying them in over the coming months.

Laura has been looking at Jobs today and trying to sort the few possesions in our house - its really incredible how much mess can be made with so little stuff - she will write again soon when she gets the time; we still dont have a computer so its only when she comes into work with me that she can use the computer.

Well i have a meeting to lead worship at, so I'll be off. Please keep in touch; we love receiving your emails - sorry if it takes us a while to respond, it will improve!!!

Hey there guys, it's pete and nicky here. So after numerous lessons from Becca i've finally managed to put finger to keyboard and post you a message, hope you get this as it's being sent via the computer at the gym, but now I've mastered this baby, I'll get on the computer at work and keep in touch more. Great to hear your news, and congratulations on your anniversary. Sounds like things are really opening up for you on the underside of the world. Pent house suites, meals in revolving restaurants, flats so close to the beach you don't even have to get out of bed.......so good!!!!! Hey I'm gonna try posting this before I go and write loads and find it doesn't send . Love for now
