I am back in YWAM Herrnhut, with two weeks to go and 24 weeks behind me. God is faithful. I haven’t updated in a while but that doesn’t mean nothing has happened, these last two weeks have been crazy! Buxtehude was a week spent investing time in the community; we worked with troubled kids in the park, spoke in a few church youth groups and did some practical service work. For the weekend we had a special chance to live at the Royal Ranger outpost and personally, I don’t really know what being a “Royal Ranger” means...I just went along with everyone else. But it was a fun weekend! We chopped down trees all day saturday and spoke at a local church where I met a set of triplets! And just like my brothers and I, they were two boys and a girl, the girl the youngest. I was stoked! It was my first time meeting an older set of triplets. All in all the week was good, we weren’t too busy and we had a lot of time to get to know each other. That was important because the outreach teams were split, so we were paired with people we didn’t know too well.
On sunday I packed up my stuff and left for Prague! My dad arrived that afternoon and we spent the week together there. It was a very special week. I got to share my experiences with him and he got to update me on my family and what is going on at home. We toured around Prague and also did some prayer/devotion time together. I was also able to see my friend Anetka who I met on a mission trip a few years ago. It’s always a blessing to see her! My dad left friday morning so I spent the day with some friends who did their faith week in Prague, on saturday we started the way back to the castle and hitchhiked along the way. It was so much fun! I have never done that before and I had my suitcase with me, but God provided and we got picked up by a bright orange hippy van and then later picked up by a teeny tiny car that we crammed into. It was quite the experience. I don’t recommend hitchhiking in America, but I’m glad I was able to experience it.
We arrived at the castle to total chaos. My school is here (40 people) the MOTA school is here (130 people) and the January DTS is here (20 people) plus all the staff members (100 people). The first meal altogether was very overwhelming. But it is nice to see the people again, and it will be fun to attend their graduation on thursday.
My school has lecture this week and next week is sort of a “prep” week for going home. I am really trying to finish strong and see what God has planned for the rest of the time here. After all, a lot can happen in just two weeks.
