I apologize for not posting before I left, but life got a little crazy trying to say goodbye to everyone and packing up my life. If anyone is interested, my life now consists of the two bags I took with me, and 4 boxes in my parent's garage. A little pathetic, but I can pick up and move anywhere!
Yesterday, I made the long journey to Brno. It took two airplanes and a 2 1/2-hour car ride to finally get me here, but I made it safely. Thank you to everyone for all the prayers. I definitely felt them as I traveled alone to airports I wasn't familiar with. God was protecting me the whole way. But unfortunately, I didn't get much sleep as there were so many legs to the trip so I am still pretty exhausted. I will have to keep this post short and sweet.
Just so everyone knows, I am 9 hours ahead of Pacific Coast Time. It's almost 1pm here, but I feel like it's 2 am! I'll be taking a little snoozer before I leave in a few hours for a ski ministry retreat. Yeah, I know. Having never skied before, it might not be the best time to try when jet lagged. We will see if I make it back alive :) If no one hears from me by Monday, I will be in a better place.
This morning I met with a few of the Integrity Life Ministry staff (formerly Christian Education Living or KVZ). I would tell you their names if I knew how to spell them ;). We talked through each of our expectations and I am really excited to start serving alongside their ministry. I will give more detail in later posts as I begin my work. For now, just know that God is going to be doing a mighty work here in Brno and I am excited to be a part of it!
Well folks, that's all I got in me at the moment. I hope this feeds your appetites a little bit until I get back from the retreat. Thanks again for all your prayers. Pray for the retreat if you would. It is doubling as an outreach to some of the college students. There will be a total of 30 people going. I hope to establish some good relationships.
Another post will come soon!
