I'm going.
To New Zealand.
January 5, 2009 - April 11, 2009.
Did you hear what I said?
I'M GOING TO NEW ZEALAND!
SERIOUSLY? SERIOUSLY!
I'M GOING TO NEW ZEALAND!
It doesn't feel real yet. I will be studying abroad and teaching the children in the outskirts of Aukland. I get to travel the island and hike the trail to Mordor (kidding). It's going to be like a school-filled vacation! Wow. I'm going to New Zealand. I could say that over and over again. So I will. I'm going to New Zealand.
Let me tell you, it was not the easiest decision to make.
What could possibly be wrong with going to New Zealand? A lot of things.
Debt, missing weddings, missing friends, being far from BYU (my parents would add being far from BYU boys), etc. And most of all missing the daily contact with my family. I made a pros and cons list, I weighed the decision out in my mind, and I took it to the Lord. It took me months of frustrations, days of fasting, and a few hours of crying. But it is finished.
This is something I am supposed to do.
For me, not you. Sounds selfish, right?
Right.
But if there is time to be selfish, it's now.
What a beautiful country. That I'm going to.
