It was a big day yesterday with a full house on base (20). This included a group of Ywammers (Youth With a Mission) based in Matamata and they are from five different countries - Finland, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium as NZ (including two from Invercargill)!! as well as a new crew of five from Ireland. Add to that Peter from Singapore and Kim from Korea plus few of us from good old NZ. The group from YWAM had just been in Fiji doing some voluntary work for about 6 weeks so we knew that they would be keen for some good traditional food. So roast chicken and all the trimmings was for the mains and rolled pav (eat your heart out Jimmy) fruit salad and ice cream followed for dessert. As there was a married couple in the YWAM group celebrating their 2nd wedding anniversary, chocolate cake and coffee completed the meal. Everyone was suitably impressed. It had been a twelve hour day in the kitchen though as lunches and morning teas for the week had also had to been organised and then of course it was there was a lot of cleaning up at the end of the meal.
Stephen had been promoted to foreman (it doesn't take long if you show
any skill base!!) and given his own van and the group of Irish to help
him. They were a fun group and full of talk but also excellent workers.
They made great progress on the house at Lyttelton.
