Hi Everyone!
August was an adventure, so here we go!
Ministry
August is a bit slow once the summer camps end since school here doesn't start till the 15th of September, so this month is a time of rest and recovery for us in between camps and school. I had my language immersion week early in the month and it went better than I expected. I got to practice using my language with my host, workers at cafes, and at a small festival in the city where I stayed for my language week the week I was there. I learned a bunch of new words and it was very helpful getting to practice on my own…

Hi Everyone!
July has been amazing and super busy with the Summer Camps, so here we go!
Ministry
This has been a super busy month with the Summer camps (VBS and sport/Olympic games). We did four weeks of camps this month, and each week we were in different city. Each city where we do a camp is also where the Pink Foundation does a program during the school year, so camp is an amazing time to spend 5 straight days really getting to know the kids and pour into them outside of school. I got to meet so many kids and it was such a blast getting to know them. For VBS we went through…

The next week we went to a different city…

Getting my visa back on May 1st, the day after I wrote my April update, was a big surprise since the embassy never called and told me that it had been approved, which is what they told me would happen. My team informed me that the embassy always says that but never actually does it. I booked my flights for the 15th a few days after getting my visa back and planned to land in Sofia on the 16th. I knew packing would be…

“The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.”
Proverbs 16:9 ESV
While I was hoping to have gotten a call from the embassy that my visa was approved before the end of the month that wasn’t God’s plan. The visa process has taken a lot more time than I ever anticipated, which I believe God has been using to teach me patience and trusting his timing not my own. “The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as…
