I am currently living in Auckland New Zealand on a study abroad through Brigham Young University. I am taking classes and enjoying the beautiful summer weather. We have a lot of adventures planned and unplanned and this blog will hopefully continue to record all of them. Enjoy. You can also see pictures at http://newzealandgirls2011.shutterfly.com/.

Waiata
In a few weeks when we start teaching we will go to an official welcoming ceremony called a powhiri. Dr. Cutri's husband Chris will give a speech and then we will all stand and sing this song, called a waiata, to support what he says in our behalf. Carol taught it to us on the first day of class.
