last weekend

what do you know blogger was being stupid and not letting me upload pics. so i waited until today!

ok back to last weekend. i woke up at 5:15 to leave the house by 6:10. walked down the gravel road(huge rocks that kinda hurt your feet) to the train station to catch the train. took two trains and arrived at the airport at 7:45. my goal was to try to get on the 8:50 flight to munich. once i got to the ticket counter the woman said i would have to buy another ticket if i wanted to get on the earlier flight!!! ahhh so i checked in and waited for my flight at 11:10. we were supposed to start boarding at 10:40. all in all my flight was delayed and we didnt leave the gate until 12:00.

while all this is happening barbara (YL Area Director in Spain) and Anna (intern in spain) were waiting for me. i was supposed to meet them at 12:30. they were so kind to wait for me.

after taking two trains and having someone pick us up from the train station (luckily we didnt have to take a taxi) we arrived at the training. it was great to be with everyone.

now i have some assignments to do on top of everything else that is going on here. good assignments of course!

the pic is of my new haircut :) ill be letting it grow out again.

KIDS!!!!

ahh im pooped right now. should have been in bed an hour ago. just a quick not to say how excited i am today about seeing kids.

i was walking in town near my new house with someone and i saw timothee! he is one of our club kids. he fell at school and twisted his ankle so he is walking with crutches. before that i saw joseph (another club kid) at the house im moving in to.

THEN i was walking back home (to where i am now) and passed by one of the schools. it was just on the way and it was not planned at all. so i saw clementine, said hello, and met her two friends (amelie and virginie). we had a little convo and then we said good bye. while walking again i saw perrine! we said hello and made plans to see each other tomorrow. so tomorrow perrine and rebecca are coming over to have lunch, chat about our bible study, and to study for school.

i just think it is so cool how i saw 4 kids today!!!!!!! and this was not planned! God is so good :)

anyway it was a fiasco of day, not to mention this weekend. ill write more tomorrow while the girls are studying.

j is out...

prayer requests

hello!

leaving tomorrow at 6 to walk to the train station to catch the train to the airport. hoping to arrive at the airport at 7:30. my original flight leaves at 11:10 however i am going to try to get on the 8:50 flight.

either way ill be in munich at 10:10 or 12:30 where i will meet ana and barbara. boy am i thankful we are going together. we have to catch the train in munich to starnberg which is over an hour trip. then we have to take a taxi from the train station to where our conference/training is. uhhhh what a long day it will be.

please pray for:

• safe travels to and from
• no travel anxiety
• smooth transitioning between modes of transportation
• safety in general
• a good training overall
• that i get some type of sleep
• that i can get my presentation squared away
• that the presentation will go well and will be well received (for saturday at the leaders weekend)
• when i get back i can catch up on all my email and homework.

club tomorrow- pray for a fun time, a good turn out, and for changed lives

i got my hair cut!! woot woot.... 5 euros. he he he yes thats right. it was either that or wait until december when i get home cause im not paying what it costs here to get a hair cut. RI- DICULOUS!

also, TOMORROW is our first club! yahhhhhooo. ill share what happens on saturday.

Vovo's 90th birthday

Oh my goodness! It worked :) wahhooo.

This at Vovo Pereira's (grandfather) 90th birthday service at his church in Boca Raton, FL. I wish I could have been there. They were all up until like 2:30 in the morning! Miss my family.

these days

blogger isnt uploading pictures again! ahhhhhkkkk what the heck? i have several mini posts to put up. ill keep trying, but this is like the 3rd day in row that it is not working.

yesterday i went to cornerstone international church. it was really cool. i liked it a lot. right now it is the best international (english speaking) church that ive been to. but, i've only been to two. im still going to go to other international and french churches. i hope to find a "home" international church and a "home" french church. i haven't felt fed at any french churches yet. im pretty sure it is because of the language.

i had class today with my new teacher. it was fine but different. i like the other lady better.

next week im going to munich. itll be my first time there. i really don't like german, so i'm sure it will be difficult for me to navigate over there. christophe will be picking me up from the airport here in brussels then we will go directly to the sea-side where we will have our leaders weekend.

french class

I have French class 3 mornings a week and really like it! My commute is a 10 minute walk. I will be moving to my own place on the 1st of October. Wahoooo! Right now I am living with my new friend Adriana. Everything here has been wonderful. Even though we will be living 5 minutes walking distance from each other, I will miss our time as roomies.
