After flying through different time zones, getting little sleep, freezing on planes, sweating buckets, and breaking our backs we are finally in Bucharest, Romania at our hostel! Let me tell you it wasn’t easy getting here. After flights we rode in a crammed hot bus for what seemed forever.
Finally, a sigh of relief we have arrived at our stop. Everyone is staring at us as we fumble around unloading everyone’s bags. We are looking around excited to get some rest. Then a ping of pain radiates through our bodies as they tell us we must walk a ways to our hostel. What?!?! Do you know how heavy my bags are?!
OH MY GOSH FOLKS!!! I literally thought I was going to DIE! My straps were digging into me. I had already been carrying this ridiculous load forever. My low back still hasn’t recovered. Luckily, two of my loving teammates, Jenny and Logan, happened to pop out of nowhere with others from our squad who arrived the day before. Without us even talking they took my entire luggage. Thank you Jesus for awesome friends!!! Hah. I wasn’t going to make it another step.
Then a long story short we claim beds in our hostels and dump our junk. Then it happened….another change in plans…..AHHHHH…..Dun dun duh! We were informed that our teams had changed some. Changes were made because some of our squad mates couldn’t come. L In my beloved Team Sozo, we lost our beloved Savannah to another great team and we gained beautiful Corinna. These were mixed emotions for everyone. We knew there was a chance of team changes, but no one expected our first day! Everyone had organized and planned things with our previous teams. We all love one another, but we had mentally prepared and felt safe to open up about anything with our previous teams. Thank goodness God knows what is best! I am sure this is all part of His plan. We will follow Him and say Yes whatever the task may be. As He pours down we pour out to the nations. Let His rain fall on me!
After our BIG news, we left to eat with our new team. Then we all worshipped the Lord together at the park. Basically, we are alive and well! We leave Saturday for Bulgaria. Email me! Pictures to come!
