Progress

Alright, so I'm officially home...what a wonderful feeling!!! My time in Philly was really great. Met TONS of amazing people, and am excited to see what the Lord has in store. For those who may not know, let me give a brief recap on why I was there. I was in Philly going through something called A&O week (assessment and orientation). Basically, as the end of my time with Athletes in Action was nearing, I began seeking God on what He wanted me to do next. A few options were thrown out, but what I decided to do was look into staying in Prague but switching organizations. As you may recall, I was working for Athletes in Action in Prague, but now I'll be going back with World Harvest. I was fortunate enough to be apart of the beginnings of our great church in Prague, Faith Community. The World Harvest team in Prague became and are some of my closest friends, and it is exciting to now be able to "officially" work beside each of them.

For now I'm in Texas support raising, and enjoying the time with my family and friends. Of course, if you would like to hear more about this next part of the journey in my life please feel free to email me. I would LOVE to talk with you about how you can be apart of what God is doing in Prague!!! hnisaqt@hotmail.com



And on a smaller note, I just completed my first ever 80 minute run...without stopping!!! Or dying for that matter. Feels pretty good...well, my body doesn't feel to great right now, but you know what I mean...next up is my 90 minute!

Made it...barely

One word can describe my flights back to the States...BRUTAL! The only redeeming qualities about my trip was getting to fly to London with my new friend Schanell, and the fact all my luggage made it safely. The 3 hour layover in London went by fairly quickly, but the 6 in Chicago...not so much. And I really don't love the Chicago airport. Let's just say I started traveling at 7:00am Prague time, and didn't lay my head down until 8:00am Prague time. The loooooongest traveling experience e-v-e-r. Next time I'm definitely paying the extra $200 for one connection with little to no layover. Oh, and did I mention that out of my 3 pieces of luggage, the lightest came in at 27 kilos? I really hated those things by the end of the trip...

Typically I find my way to Target on my first day back, but this time CVS had to do. Don't you just love that feeling of walking into an American store knowing you can get pretty much anything you want? I love it...unfortunately, we didn't have a lot of time, so I just had to pop in and get the essentials. It was sooooo hard not to throw a million things into my basket!!! And I forget how friendly everyone is...asking me how I was doing, if I needed anything else, and did all that with a smile!! Oh glorious day...One question that threw me off is when they asked if I had a card...."A card?" I thought to myself. What kind of card? The customer behind me kindly stepped in and said, "A CVS card." Ohhhhhh, yeah, I probably don't have that with me.

I'll update with more happenings. Oh yeah, and for those who don't know I'm in Philly right now. After a week here in Philly I'll be heading home to Dallas. Pray you are doing well!!
