Field Update # 1
Hello everyone!
Wow! This week has been flying by, and I've been busier than ever! I arrived in Garden Valley Texas on Friday, and my Mission Advisors arrived on Saturday. The missionaries themselves arrived yesterday and my team is pretty incredible! We have 24 young people plus three leaders and a country assistant [aka logistics coordinator]. We'll be flying out to Romania on Thursday afternoon, via Amsterdam. I'm really excited for all that God is going to do on this trip; it's shaping up to be pretty incredible already!
I don't have a lot of time to write, but I wanted to send out a couple of prayer requests. We have a couple of kids who are homesick and need some peace and comfort; please keep them in your prayers so that they'll be able to come and have an incredible summer along with the rest of their team in Romania. Today was the toughest day of immersion [we did drama training in the Texas heat most of the day long], so the rest of the time here in Texas should be easier for them, but please lift them up if you think of it.
I'll keep this update short, and hopefully I'll find some more time to update you on the immersion process before we actually leave. I hope you're all having a great summer so far! Thank you so much for your prayers and support... they mean so much, and the lives of young people from all over North America are being touched and changed as a result of your support. And next week, the lives of Romanians will be too. You are playing a part in a great work... thank you!
May the Lamb that was slain receive the reward of His suffering!
