Two Weeks

It's already been two weeks since we arrived in Gisborne, but to me (Carson) it feels longer than that.

Today we went to a Baptist church and got two social invites for the afternoon from two very friendly families.

For lunch we went to some folks' house which is situated on a river- a really amazing spot. The house itself was very nice; a 'nook and cranny' sort of place. It is the sort of house that makes me want to curl up with a book and lounge in the sun on the beautifully green lawn for an hour or two. They had children too- the youngest son is in Steven's class, and they have three daughters [at least I think that's the number of daughters; they had several other relates and friends over as well, so it was hard to keep track who was in what family]

The second house we visited was situated on a beautiful, sprawling farm. We drove in a land master-type vehicle up steep, sheep-ridden hills, and the view from the top was incredible. We were given grapefruit and oranges picked fresh from the tree, so that was quite exciting.

To put it in Dad's words, I feel we've actually done something today and have earned ourselves an evening in front of the telly.

Peace,

Carson
