woooohooooo :)

firstly i'm sorry that i haven't written in awhile, i've been busy.
so its the 20 of feb and i have so much to tell you already.
lets goooo...
1. i'm loving school, the school is amazing and the teachers encourage you to have a relationship with God and also try to help you grow your relationship.
i love all my teachers even though they are all males haha . but they are mostly all nice.
i recently found out that i got house captain for Daniel house which is really exciting and cooool ! and i think i have that for 2 years which is so awesome, i'm super excited about house spirit and teaching the girls more about how great God is!
i also on friday auditioned for the worship team , i was so nervous but i went really well and the worship director asked me about worship leading i was like SAY WHAT ? if i do do that i think i will wait for 6 months or so just to get settled in :)
2. we finally have a new house so that's awesome, if you want my address gimee a text or fb comment and i'll flick you a text or email you telling you the dets.
its really nice to have my own space and stuff. i also am very satisfied with were we are because school is a 15 min walk away, mcdoland's and the mall is 2 mins away and my friends live close woooo :).
i never thought i'd be able to say this like 20 days in but aucks is pretty cool and im startting to looove it !
i'm getting to the stage where i'm finding it quite hard thooo, i'm missing seeing everyone so its starting to really hit me that i wont be able to hit me and im stating to get worried about loosing contact with people which i definately dont want to dooo. so if i dont text you for a while text or fb me would be cool to have a chat and i can call yoou now sooo woooohoooo :)
OOOOH and i'm so super excited because i'm going to the launch in hamilton of ARISE and its gonna be gooooood !
well just thought i'd give you an update, i will write soon.
please continue praying for me and thanks for all your prayers
love you lots
Rachie :)

11th Feb, Auckland

so i have now been in auckland for about a week and i'm starting to like it. It is so much better than i expected it to be, i've made some amazing friends, meet some cool boys hehe, and found a nice youth group !! also my relationship with God has grown heaps, the school ELIM is so good for christianity we either have devotions or praise and worship and preacher at assembly it ishonestly the school that i always dreamed of going too ! Sorry Izzy for not listening to you telling me that i'll love auckland ! i love you hehe.
it is cool up here but i still feel so flippin lost haha , i dont know who anyone or where anything is! except for Geo class today when my geo teacher was asking me about island bay and all theses other questions about wellington haha.
My friends here are so coool ! they crack me up and i've already been told off for laughing to much in class and yes i have had plently of blonde moments aye haha !!
I had an awesome night last night, Esther Melody Smith was up so we went out for dinner, it was really nice to see her and we had such fun, we were probably laughing 3 quarters of it, she cracks me up , funniest person i have ever met in my life like honestly. i love you Esther xoxo.
it's also so cool being able to hang with my cousins a lot more and being able to see my family. its real funny because teachers think me and my cousin go out because we are so close lol. we are like NOOO WAAYY haha !
we move into our new house on tuesday so thats gonna be so mint as ! it'll be nice to be able to get settled in properly ya know.
anyways i will go, just thought i'd give you a quick lowdown of aucks

it's auckland it's auckland time

so i arrived in auckland on the first of feb. the day that prachute ended.
ahh parachute how i miss you !
parachute this year was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G ! i have to say fav bands were Esther Melody band, rapture ruckus. parachute band especially SAM DE JONG . and hillsong united .
it was cool spending one last weekend with everyone , had so much fun hanging with Hippo . your awesome girl . thanks for always being there for me when i was upset and had dramas. well good times girlfriend bahahahah !!
i miss y'all so much haha !!
we are staying with family friends and its so awesome aye . they have a pool and spa so im loving it !! wooop woooop ! we just lookign for a house atm so please pray that we find one soon !!
i am also church hunting hehe ! not to sure where i will serve so yeah !
first day of school tomorrow which is a leadership day . i'm kinda nervous as i will only know two people in my year my cousin ryan and seth !
i guess this whole prcess of moving has defionately brought me closer to God and also taught me that i can rely on him and that he is faithful always and also that nothing can actually sepreate us from his love.
i guess one of the hardest things that happened is when st oran's went back today .. to think that i cant be there with my amazing friends and hang with them sucks. i realised i would have had pretty good teachers this year aswell awww boo !
i really miss everyone at oran's and i love y'all so so much !! i also think when i found out that the first elevate was on firday i was upset as i knew i wouldn't be there to serve and get more involved !!
i think this experience has definately been hard and its starting to hit me more amd more everyday as i know now that im not gonna be back in wellinton for hopefully only 2 years !
the good thing is that being in auckland has already helped me get one step closer to God, Sam De Jong but most importantly my dream job i guess which is 1. working with mercy ministries and also forming a band and record some tracks just praying that i find the right people.. may have a drummer already :)
I wrote a song for my friends so ill type down the lyrics:
VERSE 1 :
I remember, the first day, we met
we got intro, duced by our , other friends
we got talking , and we started , to laugh
i remember , that day , we became, good friends
CHORUS:
we will always be good friends
we will always be best mates
even though it'll be hard not having you by myside everyday
i just wanna let you know
that i'm here for you always
no matter what may come my way
no matter what may come your way , today
VERSE 2: (FOR FATTY , HIPPOO, ELEPHANT AND LAURA PHILLIPS)
i rememvber , our coke , and licorice
and also, our intre, tive dances
that day , that we made , fat names
fatty, hippo, elephant and mammoth
CHORUS:
we will always be good friends
we will always be best mates
even though it'll be hard not having you by myside everyday
i just wanna let you know
that i'm here for you always
no matter what may come my way
no matter what may come your way , today
BRIDGE:
even though we are apart
we are still close together at heart
we will always be there for each other
no one will break us up don't bother

so thats my song its called always there. my 4th song i've written in the middle of my 5th atm yay !
so yeaah
i love you all and im gonna cry so im gonna stop now before i burst into tears
i love you all so so so much xoxoxoox
