This post officially comes to you from the Pacific Link! We are back on board our "home" for the next 8 weeks, and couldn't be more excited.
The ship sailed out of Auckland on Friday night with all of our students on board, and arrived safely in Tauranga after a 16 hour sail. The weather was great for them and the students were so excited to finally be on board! We were greeted at Salisbury wharf in Tauranga with a traditional Maori greeting and had about an hour ceremony for the ships crew to be able to share stories about the five month outreach to Fiji and Samoa. It was so exciting to see all of our crew friends again and hear thier awesome stories!
Today the directors of the ship, Mike and Jeannie Mears, are celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary, so we are all going to the party tonight where they will renew their vows and have a big celebration. They have been directing all of the ships activities and outreaches for the last 5 months so they are excited to have their family here to help them celebrate their return and anniversary. It has been a crazy busy weekend.
This coming week will be our first week of lectures on the ship. We are starting week 5 of lectures already! Its crazy, only 7 weeks of lecture after this and then we will be off on outreach. Keep praying for us as we work on outreach locations!
