A New Life In New Zealand

Finally, we received our visas that would allow us to work for New Zealand and eventually secure a Permanent Resident Visa.  We are leaving on Thursday, 02 November 2006 at 12:45 pm via Cathay Pacific. After a 6-hour stopover, we shall embark on a 12-hour non-stop flight to Auckland, New Zealand. Our ETA in Auckland is 1:00 pm on Friday, 03 November 2006.

I would like to thank the people who helped me and my family throughout this time - 

Yol and Sona Bracero - for adopting us into their home for about 4 months while we were waiting for our visas;

Pat and Lorna Ninal - for their hospitality in welcoming us into their home; Yaya, Angging, Ivan, and Babok;

Central Evangelical Free Church - for a very beautiful time of re-bonding;

Evangelical Free Church of the Philippines - Pastor Ronald and Pastor Chris, Romulo Saavedra, and the VRCC;

Crossroads Fellowship EFC - for preparing me and my family for this magnanimous task ahead, and whose encouragement kept our hearts burning;

Loyola Plans Consolidated, Inc. - for the encouragement and prayers; 

Close friends - Orlan and Cathy Dalguntas,  Renan and Gingging Barcenas, and many other people who have helped us out in one way or another.

Thank you all. God bless.

Danny, Jia and Danika
