Hi all. So sorry that it has taken so long to post an update.
My team and I have been in country for just over two weeks.
We were in training for one week learning about the culture we were stepping into and those we would be sharing with and serving. It was also a week of getting to know our team. We are from three different states and three different communities within our movement. By the time we were lining up outside the closed airport early in the morning to move to our host City we were one team.
Stepping off the plane in our host city showed us how different this place is than where we trained. First of all it wasn't hot and the air full of moisture. There's a breeze. The temp is noticeably cooler. Everyone here has a smile on their face. After getting to our home for the next couple months we were sent out I explore the city, find where to do laundry, buy groceries and Pr over some of the locations we will be visiting over the summer.
Our first week has been filled with language lessons and getting to know this city and how to get around in it. We were able to check out a few places that we will be serving this summer. I am excited to be able to use some of my sewing and creative skills at one place. We also met most of our translators and went out Into the city to talk to people.
One more language lesson then our schedule will normalize for the summer with team time in the mornings and serving in the afternoons.
Ways to PR for my team and I.
-that our language lessons will stick an we will be able to communicate even at a basic level with locals
-that we will continue to be united as a team
-for those who the Father wants us to meet and share Him with
-for whole families to know Him
-continued health and energy throughout the summer.
