Well I forgot to mention in my first blog that the moment I walked into my dorm room the first day I got to NZ, there was some weird and crazy German guy sitting on the floor. Now you might be asking yourself, "Dave, how do you know this weird and crazy German guy was in fact weird and crazy?" Thanks for asking, it's because while he was sitting on the floor going through his stuff, laying right next to the rest of it was a woman's corset (a fancy bra). Not really sure why he had it, and I'm not really sure why I didn't just ask him why he had it.
But I also found out later that night as I was turning over in bed trying to fall back asleep, this same weird and crazy German guy apparently likes to sleep in the nude. Don't worry I got a great shot of him, more than I could ask for. Yuck!!
Silk, I thought you should know I met a sweet South Korean guy named Jun, that was so interested in anything I said. And anything that was exceedingly interesting, he would repeat over and over to himself. I told him I was from the U.S.A. and that I wanted to be a pastor, so I kept hearing him say all through the night, "United States, Paster." Then I told him that I used to play american football, but he had never heard of it. He thought it was like rugby and I said, "Yeah it's a lot like rugby, except you can throw the ball backwards OR forwards." This absolutely blew his mind, and he started laughing uncontrollably about this crazy concept.
Oh and Kevin, there's apparently a sweet rock band that was coming to town in Auckland, but I didn't get to see. However, there name: Interpol. Thought you'd like that.
I truly appreciate all the prayers and comments left from my blogs. I miss you guys so much. Wish you guys were here. Things have gotten better since I last blogged. God is opening up doors for me to talk to perfect strangers about my faith and it's been humbling to be used by such an amazing God. He's teaching more and more everyday. Love you guys, talk to ya soon.
P.S. For anybody that went to Costa Rica and remembers when Katie Bettelli threw up all over Jordan on the bus, that happened again yesterday while I was on a bus going to Wellington. The victim's name was Philip, and this girl sitting next to him blew chunks all over the place and on him. It was really gross when it happened, but I'm still laughing that it got all over this guy. He was a good sport about it, and he was laughing about it too. Nobody sat on the seat with the upchuck all day until like the last hour. I was reading and didn't see the guy sit down. I tried so hard not to laugh, but I couldn't help it.
Seriously, that's all from here. Peace dogg, peace.

Dave,
I started looking for you at the leader meeting today, but was quickly reminded of your lost presence.
Glad to hear things are going along. I can just picture you talking to all kinds of strangers and being so open and honest. Hope the laughter continues the entire trip.
