Final post from NZ

Well my month home in Auckland has just flown by and it is now only 12 1/2 hours until I depart to on my next great adventure.

In my time back home I have once again come to realise how good my espresso machine is. I had actually gotten used to not having fantastic coffee at home while living in Vancouver and had forgotten how good it was to wake up and be able to start the day off with a perfect latte or espresso. It will be missed over the next 5 months for sure.

It has also been nice being able to play a few rounds of golf over the last month, even if I got absolutely drenched in the process. I was certainly a bit rusty after not playing since October but in the last game I was starting to be a bit happier with the way I was hitting the ball, despite the somewhat unimpressive scorecard. It has been great being able to finally use my 'new' driver on a course at last, surprisingly it didn't totally fix my slice, so perhaps there is a flaw in my swing.

Well mate, I'm glad you've been able to enjoy the fine espresso, though the next five months might be a little bit of a challenge in terms of bean choice. Katie and I are about 10 days away from departing Vancouver. We will be in Oregon for about a month before heading to Edinburgh, so there will be plenty of quality coffee to be had.

Blessings to you in this next journey. Look forward to hearing about God's work there. And don't forget—there will be an extra room awaiting you in Scotland.
