Off to Missouri

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 4^th and we will leave for Moldova on September 22^nd. 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 =).
