Haere Ra, Timaru

It doesn't quite seem real but this morning my boxes got picked up, and tomorrow I am out of my house. Then, via Easter Camp, Christchurch, Akaroa and Nelson, I am home!!It's crazy how fast Out-Training has gone. When I think about all the experiences I have had, people I have met, things I have learnt ... it nearly seems impossible that so much has been crammed into three and a half months.

Nonetheless, I am real excited about getting home, finishing training and getting on on the field for real. I'm trying to not wish the days away too fast, though. I know soon enough I'll be longing for College days! I do miss my session mates and look forward to the catch ups at the cafes, and getting to hang out with the 'Witnesses for Christ' (the session after us). Especially since I know many of them already. Seeing them in a different context might be a bit strange at first though.

Still it will be strange not seeing the Timaru whanau everyday, the laughs I have had with Jane and all the looks they all give me when I burst into whatever song is on my mind. But still, I know I've made friends I will keep for years and I'd like to think they have learnt something from me as well as me from them. Even if it's that the Chiefs are far superior to the Crusaders and Highlanders. (The scores all lie!!!)
