This past week has been really busy. However, it has been fun nonetheless.
The main DTS lectures this week covered "Hearing God's Voice." In the weekly Medical/Compassion Stream lectures, we covered vitals. I learned how to take blood pressure as well as calculate breathing and heart rates.
This past Wednesday the school scheduled a bug man to come and treat the place as normal bi-annual protocol. This meant that the main "Center" had to be clear of people for at least 4 hours.
So, in making sure that everyone was taken care of, we were given the afternoon away from base at Mt. Maunganui, just north of the city of Taurunga. At first a group of us hiked up to the summit of the mountain and had lunch, which we had pre-packed at breakfast. The views are amazing!
After lunch, we spent time down at the beach, though I soon left to trakdown a good fruit smoothie to reward my hiking efforts. Eventually I did take a quick dip in the ocean. There is a lot of seaweed there but, that is only part of the fun.
Mt. Maunganui is certainly a must see should you ever visit the area. Even if you, like me, are not into hiking and climbing, a once in a lifetime visit to the summit is totally worth the effort!
