Finally, the Final Month!

   Praise the Lord, hallelujah, it's my last month abroad for a while. Yes I'm sad to be leaving all of these wonderful people I have met, but I'm beyond ready to be home for a bit. Honestly, I miss everybody so much that it hurts. Not to mention, this cold weather is killing me, especially after living in Africa for the past couple months.
   So these past two weeks were amazing... Immediately after Africa, our DTS met up in Amsterdam at the ywam base there. I was in Amsterdam for a week, and I LOVED it. It was so beautiful and it was good to just be back in civilization... (although I still haven't had a Starbucks- very out of character for me). After one week in amsterdam, I got the opportunity to leave Amsterdam and go to a little village about an hour away called Heerde, where a married couple from my DTS live. It was great to be there- Mary and I stayed with a precious little old lady named Jetty. She was hilarious, and it was good because it felt like I was staying at one of my grandmas' house. We did some street evangelism there, spoke at their church, youth groups, and led some Bible studies. It was really a great time.
   Now I'm back in Germany, in a town called Ludenscheid with some of my DTS, and we're on (what ywam calls) a "trumpet tour", where we go around and tell people about our experiences on outreach. This week should be pretty great- we have the opportunity to talk with drug addicts, the youth of the town, kids, and we're even planning on doing a bar ministry. Stoked for that.
   Next week, we are having a "Faith Week", where basically our leaders say "ready... set... go!" and we pray and ask God where He wants us to go for a week. So, I could end up somewhere in Germany, Poland, Czech Republic... only God knows. Oh ya, we also don't have any money or food or place to stay... we rely on God for all that good stuff. We'll see if maybe my mad hitchhiking skills will come in handy again :)
   So like I said, it's the last month... and honestly I'm struggling. It's so hard to be HERE when my mind and my heart are already back home. Also, so many things about Africa are running through my head, of what I could have done differently, and it's hard to process all of these things by myself. If you would pray for me, that would be glorious. Pray that I would continue to have this fire and passion for Christ, and it wouldn't die out here or when I get home. I want to remain strong until the end. Thanks a million.
