I hope you all had a good Christmas season and had fun celebrating the new year. This new year's I was celebrating from Urbana! For those of you who don't know, Urbana is a massive missions conference for college aged students who are trying to figure out how they can serve the Lord through missions. I was there with my team at a booth sharing what the Lord is doing in Berlin (as seen in picture to the left). It was a great time of fellowship and community. However, it just made me want to be in Berlin even more! I was talking about the city and about our ministry non-stop for 5 days straight. The whole conference reminded me once again, that I've been waiting for this my whole life. I used to talk to full time missionaries and be so jealous! But now I'm here! Thanks be to God! I'm just so ready to be there. Ideally, I would skip all of the packing, the goodbyes, and the entire flight over there. But alas, I cannot teleport. So I guess I'll deal with the whole travel thing like a normal human being.
This has been a CRAZY year; unlike any other year. Since I graduated in May, I've pretty much been on the go 24/7. I went from Branson to Chattanooga to Minneapolis to Philadelphia, back to Minneapolis, then to Branson to Chattanooga to Philadelphia to Minneapolis, back again to Philadelphia, to Chattanooga to St. Louis to Chattanooga, I'm headed to Nashville today, then I go back to Chattanooga, and then I finally leave for Berlin. Whoo! I'm exhausted just typing all of that! So needless to say, I've done a lot of traveling and back and forth this year...and I'm ready to settle in Berlin for the next 2 years. Only 24 more days! Thank you all for your prayers and support! All glory be to God!
