Dallas, Plano, Fort Worth, Frisco, Allen… i'm somewhere in Texas!

Hi! I’m exhausted so my thoughts are kind of all over the place, sorry! We left Augusta at 3am on Saturday morning to drive to the Atlanta airport. Slept on the way there and that was all my sleep until last night. Our flight left at 7:10a and we got to Dallas around 8:20 (Texas time)! Considering it was my first flight without a family member or a friend sitting next to me – it went really well ☺ I can’t even put into words how at peace I was – totally a God thing.

By 11:30am, all of the interns were together. As I got to know them a little yesterday I could feel how God put this group together. I’m so excited to get to spend the next 7.5 weeks with them serving God and loving the kids!! Yesterday was busy and long but a lot of fun. All that I’ve seen of Texas is really beautiful. Since the land is pretty flat there is plenty of opportunity to see the clear blue skies!

Today started early with more team building and orientation stuff. It was good but there was a lot of new information to soak in at once! Being here is still kind of surreal but I love it. The coolest part of the day was hearing the stories of some of the kids we will be working with this summer – some of which I’ve already met. Their stories are all heart breaking and reminded me of why I first felt called to Romania - to really love these kids and to tell them about God who loves them more than they can imagine and who will never ever abandon them. Incredible. I’m so ready to leave Tuesday!

Thank you all for your prayers. They really are felt and appreciated. More later.

Noapte Buna!
