I'm finally on German soil! I believe I counted around 22 hours of travel time today. My sweet family dropped me off at SEATAC on Monday evening. It was so hard to say good-bye :( I LOVE YOU FAMILY!!!!! The trip started out with a bang when I got pulled over during the security check. I got the wand and my guitar got the royal treatment…something like it kept making these special sensors go off that detect bomb making materials. Hmmm…the last time I checked, I wasn't carrying any explosives :)
From Seattle to Copenhagen. From Copenhagen to Frankfurt. From Frankfurt to Dresden by train. All with appx. 160lbs of luggage and only two arms. Piece-O-Cake! Let me say THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! To the people who helped me carry things that I know will never ever read this blog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You were lifesavers! My wonderful friends, Dierk and Stephan, were waiting at the Dresden Main train station to pick me up and it just so happened that I was waiting at a train station too….the wrong one! Unaware that there were two train stations in Dresden, I got off at the wrong one. Who knew! But they finally found me and got me all packed in and brought me safe and sound to the Mueller home (Dierk's parents) where I'll be staying for a couple of days until I can move into my new room.
Thank you for your prayers! I definitely felt protected and safe the whole time :) I'm so thrilled to be here and to started life here. The agenda for the week is to meet my new flatmates, meet with the ministry leaders I'll be working with, figure out a ministry schedule, find a bed and move in! I LOVE YOU!!!! HUG HUG HUG
