Greetings and salutations all you freaks! The sun is shining today finally. It is a rare thing to see around here so it is much appreciated. The locals say it has been unusually rainy around here as though they have to appologize for the weather. My research tells me that it isn't all that strange at all. It seems that there is a very strong prevailing wind that comes right up from Antartica which travels over the relatively warmer air of the south pacific and that combination causes more frequent rainy periods over the south island which is where we are. So, to be quite blunt about it, the locals are full of it. I (Marc) am very jealous that I missed all the snow back home last week. I do however have access to accu-weather via the internet which is almost like being there. If you want to know what the weather is doing here just go to accuweather.com and then click on (world forcasts) and follow the directions to New Zealand. I know there are a few other weather freaks out there like me, so give it a try.
Things are getting busy as we get closer to the tour arriving in Dunedin and everything is actually coming together pretty nicely. Please pray though for the city of Dunedin that the people here would be receptive to the gospel message and that true revival would happen here. The Lord has impressed on several peoples hearts that New Zealand is going to be transformed in a mighty way and will be an example to the whole western world as to what a Godly nation looks like. Keep your eyes tuned in to the news.
That's all for now, more tomarro.
