Well I have moved, I made the 5hr 15min exodus to the deep south.
The trip down was easy and uneventful :)
I arrived in Invercargill about 1.30pm. Went around to Kate, Ingrid and Hannahs flat for a while before going and setting up my room in my flat.
My room :D
The flat seems to be good, the flatmates keep to themselves which suits me.
I've been spending my days either relaxing, wandering around or at the girls flat.
Kate and Ingrid
It has been good to have friends down here, it has made the transition a LOT easier.
On sunday I went to the baptist church, there was a newcomers lunch. This was actually quite hard and I came away from the service drained and depressed.
That evening I felt very homesick, I SMS'ed a few people back home saying how I was missing them, one of them challenged me about this. They challenged me to put God first and the rest will follow. I took this to heart and drove out towards Bluff. I found a nice rest area near the sea where I spent some time talking to God and 'refocusing'. After this I went into bluff and had a look around.
Next to this signpost was a plaque that had a scripture that was a challenge for me.
Invercargill is a nicely setout place with some beautiful parks/walkways very close to where I live. Heres some shots from my wanderings
I had my 'last' coffee before I start the student life on monday. I went to starbucks and got a Vende Mocha Frappichino. It was divine :D. from now on im not going to be able to afford to have coffee all the time, I have setup a money jar as a 'Coffee Fund' that I put all my spare change into.
The 'Coffee Fund'
Well thats all for now, it has been good to make the move and I know that God has been working in my life.
