Disco and safe from the earthquake

First I want to just reassure everyone that we are nowhere near the earthquake that New Zealand early this morning and didn't even feel it.  It looks like there was quite a bit of damage for some people in the region, though.

This week in the (not so) quite town of Otorohanga, a disgruntled patient threatened the clinic, there was a gas leak that shut down main street for a few hours, and some teenagers blew up something large causing an explosion nearby fortunately not hurting anyone.  I think I've seen at least half of the kids in Oto with colds and coughs this past week.  And I got my first paycheck!

Liza and Blake's school had a Disco on Friday night.  I think the kids had lots of fun.

Today, we went to Kawhia (pronounced Kaffia because "wh" in Maori is pronounced "f" and the kids played on the beach.  I'll try to post more about that tomorrow.
