...In two more days we will be leaving Waiheke Island and going into Auckland city, as we have been each weekend for the past few months, but this time we won’t be catching the ferry back on Sunday night. After our Ruhi book 7 on Sunday, we will be staying in the mainland and on Monday we start with the youth camp. So we will be saying goodbye to this place for a while-goodbye to the beautiful beaches and rolling hills; goodbye to the colorful sunsets and the inlets dotted with boats; goodbye to the narrow, twisting, steep roads; and goodbye with our deepest thanks to the family who has given us a home here in this new country...

So I wrote this on Thursday, and it is now Sunday, and we are already gone from the island. It is the first Sunday night in ten weeks that we haven’t returned to the island, to our wonderful family there. We are in Henderson, a suburb west of Auckland in an area called the Waitakare, staying with a friend tonight and then heading to the camp tomorrow afternoon.

A few people have emailed us about our address…the one that I posted earlier is a PO Box that is paid for the minimum amount of time that we could get it-one year. That will remain as our address. After we leave the Auckland area we will have our mail forwarded to whatever post shop serves our new location. If you are sending something to us, use that address-
PO Box 106125
Auckland City Postshop
Auckland, NZ 1143
Thanks so much for the letters and cards so far. It is wonderful to get them. I have tons of ideas to write up, but little time to do it…and while we are camping I doubt we will do a lot of computer-ing, so it may be a week or two until we get logged on again.

We will be getting that card tomorrow if any stores are open…
