I have a lot to catch up on I guess. It is July, 2003 already and I am working on getting our airline tickets for our move to New Zealand, trying to find a freight company, working on getting the children's NZ citizenship and Yoko's visa.

Life at the YWAM Base here has become very quiet for the past 4 weeks as our DTS (training school) have gone to assist a local church as part of their training. We are expecting an outreach team from the USA this week but they will only be here for 10 days and then go home. They are a 8 member team, three of whom are Russians coming directly from Russia.

The children are both well growing as should be expected. They are now beginning to understand that they are going to NZ and are going to attend school there. Yoko has a little hesitation as life will be very different for her there. Food is this first concern and then there is her medical care. I'm trying to come to terms with it all. I have never caught up with the office work as I should have... in spite of it being as quiet as it is.
