Saturday marks the start of two months in a foreign country...well, I guess Sunday, because by the time the plane lands, it will be Sunday. ANYWAY...no longer will I have the safety and security of being somewhere that I know, with food that is safe, and a language that is natural. NOPE. Germany holds much more for me than just being new and exciting. It is going to be challenging. For those who don't know, I am going to be spending 2 1/2 months, mostly in Germany, taking 15 credits through my school, Moody Bible Institute. This means, a full semester load of school, and work, and reading, and papers...IN GERMANY! It came so quickly, and I don't feel as prepared as I would like. The first five days that I will be spending there, I will be living in a hostel with about 25 other students, and a couple profs, studying early Christian thought, which is a 3 credit class that will be done in 5 days! This means, over those 5 days, that 7 hours a DAY will be spent in lecture! ah! BUT, the end of those 5 days will lead me to travel in Italy, where I will get to spend time where the early church fathers taught and established churches. Right now, I can't fully imagine what it is going to be like. I am going to be tired, jet-lagged, and probably stinky, but the beauty of a foreign country and the life that will be put to Christian history will be overwhelming.
While I am there, I will be going to internet cafes and updating all you, friends and family, with thoughts, pictures, and maybe some random lessons that I have learned from the classroom and the foreign land. I feel SO fortunate to be a part of this trip, and not only that, but to also have my boyfriend, John, come along with me. It is going to be a crazy experience, and I would like to hear from you guys via comments, emails, facebook, etc. I hope that some of you would follow this page, because this is probably going to be my main way of communicating, and I would like you all to be a part of my trip to Doicheland...and beyond.
AND if you think of it, be praying for safety on our journey over there, and during our stay!
Thanks much,
Jenna
