I wanted to blog sooner, but I left my laptop charger in California. I was bummed. There was lot I wanted to keep you updated on during my journey to Missouri. Now most of it has passed. Nevertheless I will let you know it was a relatively uneventful trip from the west coast to the mid west. Sarah and I managed just fine putting in two long days and one short day. The short day ended up longer than originally planned and included a detour through a section of Oklahoma. Of course what else are plans made for, but to change them? We pulled into Springfield, Mo on Sunday. Sarah moved into Evangel and the next day I moved into the intern housing.
Moving into intern housing was something else. I spent most of the first day cleaning my room and killing spiders. I hate spiders. I ended up in a war with a large hairy one. It ended in a draw. It might tell you it won because the bag still remains outside of my room and the spider's location is unknown. It is rather ridiculous. I have spent the last few days moving in and making my room home. I like it. The house is old and it is funny because it has these quirks like kicking the bottom of the refrigerator to make it close and I can't even get the front door open from the inside or outside. It has character and I like it. Character is good.
Today was my first full day of work. I helped load a container for Armenia. It was interesting to see how that happens. There is a semi-truck, a loading dock, a loading station, a fork lift and lots of paperwork involved in this process. It was a good start to hopefully a good two years. I did odds and ends for preparing for the upcoming intern session. The interns will arrive on September 4th and we will leave for Moldova on September 22nd. After Moldova we will head to Armenia. Keep us in our prayers.
In the next few days I will be posting a blog about each country and what you can pray for in regards to each country. I all of a sudden feel very excited. In the midst of this excitement I will ask for your prayers that God will give me all the strength, wisdom, and discernment that I will need for the task ahead.
I have included some pictures below of the trip =).
