hello all!
i hope this finds you doing wonderfully! i think about y'all a lot and miss you!
since i last wrote, we've been doing much of the same -- working in the office, hanging out with friends, learning and traveling.
things are good, though! we're constantly reminded that God is here with us, completely faithful -- providing us with friends and protection and help when we need it. it has also been cool to see how lindsey and i fit so well togther for this trip. i'm not sure it could be better than it is....God definitely knows what He is doing and He has a plan for us....how often i need to be reminded of that! i'm still not quite sure why God placed me here for the summer, but i'm trusting that He will continue to teach me and lead me and change me through this experience.
the thing i have really noticed is the community feeling there is here. maybe it's the hostel or simply the people we're with a lot, but it really is like a family here -- people taking care of each other, watching out for each other and loving each other... i love that so much! i wish i could explain it better, but it is hard to understand if you haven't been here....
the other thing i am really enjoying is....the coffes shops! there are literally like 12 coffee shops within about a one block area from the hostel. amazing coffee and such -- nothing like starbucks, but so so much better! it smells good a lot of the time here when you're walking down the street because of the coffee and pastry smell!
it is really wonderful here -- although we've had a few mishaps along the way! the other day, we wanted to see a movie but we took a taxi to the wrong place and ended up getting another taxi to take us to the right place :)
today, we flooded the bathroom -- it was about an inch deep in water at least and overflowing out the door!! we eventually figured out our electronic situation -- but just about everything we own has to be plugged in in a different way -- one way for the each computer, one for the hair dryers, one for the phones, etc! but we're figuring it all out :)
it is amazing the way we have been able to interact with people here :) i am loving the fact that God gave lindsey and i the opportunity to be here, just the two of us. there are so many reasons that it has been wonderful, but God truly blessed us when He chose us to be here together this summer!
i love you all and miss you!
