We're Here!

We are officially in Germany! We're still getting used to the people, the culture, and most of all the language. I don't think we originally realized how much of a burden it is to not speak German. The country is beautiful, and we are getting to know all the people we will be working with this summer. We are enjoying ourselves, but so far it has been really difficult for us to adjust. We are both still jet lagged and Megan has a cold, so it has been difficult so far. We go out on our first outreach tomorrow for 7 days with the iThemba team from South African. We are both kind of jumping into this blind, but hopefully all will go well and God will be able to use us. Please pray for our transition into the culture and that our first outreach will go well. Also pray for unity for the two of us with all the teams that we will be working with this summer. Thank you all and God bless!

Training Week

For those of you that have been following the process of planning for our trip, you probably know a lot about what we've gone through. We were a team of five, then four, then three. We are down to our final two, and even thought it was extremely hard to let go of out leader, Travis, we know that this is God's plan. He will be serving in Tacoma, WA for the summer while Megan and I are in Germany. We are just finishing up training week, and it was really difficult and tested our strength as a team, but we both also really enjoyed it. This is just a quick update for all of you, and we want to thank you all deeply for your prayers and support. To all you that donated to our team, we can't thank you enough. Know that you are all a part of this trip, and we will continue to rely on your prayers to get us through the next two months. That's it for now. God Bless!!
