die letzten tage

...I think that means "The Final Days." At least, that's what Google Translator told me! I had a to do list for my last month in the US with "Learn German" on it, but I haven't been able to cross that one off quite yet. ;)

I leave for YWAM 5 days from right now!! How unreal is that? My trip consists of a flight with three legs (Indy to Philly, Philly to Munich, Munich to Dresden) and a bus ride (Dresden to Herrnhut). If everything goes as planned, my journey will span approximately 19 hours. Germany is six hours ahead of Indiana. I will be arriving at the YWAM base around 8am Eastern Standard Time on Thursday, August 23. I am so excited!!! Prayers for smooth, safe and linguistically comprehensible travel would be much appreciated. :)

These past few weeks have been filled with incredible blessings. God has provided in so many ways through the people in my life. I am incredibly thankful that I serve a God that cares about details! We talk about this a lot at church, but it has been particularly amazing to experience this provision first-hand. From prayer support to emotional support to financial support, and all the way down to specific items I had been meaning to purchase for my trip, I have been cared for and loved through all kinds of support. If nothing else, the tangible items that serve as proof that my God loves and provides!

Do you like snail mail? I do! I would love to be penpals with you (yes, all of you!!)! You can write me at:
