Farewell lecture phase, hello outreach!


Tonight is our last night in the River House, and I must admit it's pretty sad. We found out this week that we wouldn't be returning to this monastery when we get back from outreach. I've learned to love this place and call it home for the past 3 months, so it will be weird to walk out the door for the last time tomorrow. 

Speaking of tomorrow, we leave bright and early to start our 12 hour journey to Budapest where we will stay for two nights. Then continue our journey through Serbia and down to Bosnia! I'm very excited for the change in location, temperature, culture, and much more! It will be awesome to see some new countries and meet new people. From the beginning I've been dreaming of outreach. How we will see God move, how we will experience new things, and how we will grow. I think it's going to be an amazing two months, and I couldn't be more excited!

So in case you are curious, I'm living out of a little back pack and an equally small duffle bag. Those two bags will carry all my necessities for the next 9 weeks of travels through Eastern Europe! I also have one of the best snack bags ever thanks too all the delicious snacks sent from home for my birthday including lifesavers, beef jerky, gummies, pretzels, goldfish, and a family size pack of chips ahoy. Delicious, I know. 

On a random side note, I will say this now because this feeling might change after how much time we will spending in trains during outreach, but I love traveling by train. I'm going to miss it when I get home because its not as common, but it really is quite nice. I also really miss my car! Haha! It's been so weird to only be either walking or traveling by train. 

Anyways, I will update you all as soon as we are settled in, and I have wifi! 
Oh and side note... I will be home in 90 days. It's crazy how fast the time goes by.

xoxo  :)
