When I first learned that I would be coming to Amsterdam, I was thrilled because I knew I would have many new experiences. Within four days of arriving, this has already become absolutely true.
During my short time here so far I have..
developed excellent power walking skills,
been to a church service near the Red Light District,
acquired a strong liking towards stroupwaffles,
learned how to say the Dutch alphabet,
participated in worship with people from six different continents,
discovered the joy of daily being in a hostel surrounded by people on a journey, like myself,
and have been reminded of how fruitful living in true community with others can be.
Each of these unique experiences has a unique story..and I have only been here four days. I am already beginning to understand how wonderful this opportunity of service is, and I look forward to the days ahead. Though I am still slightly suffering from 'jet lag', my spirit is energized and I feel alive. I am excited about sharing with you specific stories of encouragement, joy, heartache, and revelation.
