I know I haven't posted in a while so I thought the bit of time that I have time to think about other things besides what we are learning about would be the best time!! The past week and a half have been absolutely crazy. At the same time it feels like we have been here forever, I feel like we haven't been here much time at all. Everyone is so supportive and will give space when needed and will be there to pray or talk when needed. I don't know what I will do when I am alone at my placement site alone. I mean we will be together via the interwebs and everything but the close contact of all of us together, and then having to carry out this work alone but together, strikes fear and nervousness in my heart. However, my placement site supervisor is really excited to have me and he knows much about the program so that makes it much easier to process. It is also exciting to talk about Seattle to the future missionary who will be placed there. It is a gorgeous city and I am so excited to see what God has in store for all of us.
So far in New York I have seen, the Statue of Liberty, from really far away, Coney Island, Times Square, mastered the subway (and got stuck in it), Toured East Harlem, saw a Native American Pow Wow and the God Box which I have heard so much about it. New York is quite the place. In the City there are so many different people and styles and languages, it was almost exhausting to keep up with the fast paced city. The first day we had a crazy cab driver taking us to out hotel which was a bit of a scary welcome to the city.
Anyway, with all of the craziness that has happened this past week and a half I am grateful of the down time. Prayers are still wanted and loved and appreciated!
God Bless,
Kristina
