Let the Journey Begin

This is the place where you can find updates on my journey to the Fatherland.... I will make them as enjoyable and relevant as possible but no guarantees. Thanks again to all who have supported me and prayed for me and made this possible, and to those who continue to do so. Philippians 1:3-11

this is a first blog for me. In fact this whole trip is full of first for me; first to fly over the Atlantic, first time to be in Europe, to be a coach, ect... but thus far I have loved every moment of it. Tyler has been helping get around and showing me the ropes so to speak. He has been a great help! He is real excited about the upcoming football season with the German Football Team and i can't help but feel the same excitement! The season starts in May. Tomorrow i will start workin with the youth team. It should be interestin.

The church was another first for me, completely in German. Tyler translated for me. It was Ephesians 1:15-23. There was roughly 70 people there. Very friendly people!!!! they made me feel welcome to say the least. Unfortunately there is not many college age students; this might be where I try to get plugged into. The youth are young as well and behave much different than what i have grown accustom to. No games, no music. They all sit there and listen to the teacher like you picture kids in a one-room school house. I was confused. I got the impression that they were probably all kids of parents from the church, yet another place that could use some outreach.

Pray for direction. and continue to pray for the language skilz.
