Arrived in Moldova

Hey guys! Just wanted to check in. I've finally made it to Moldova after a long day of flying. I have a great roomate and have met some awesome people since I've arrived. I already have 7 haircuts planned for tomorrow! Pray for energy for the rest of the day as I try to ignore jet lag. We have a 4 hr prayer meeting ahead so pray that I can stay awake for that. :) This week I will be at the base in Chisinau doing haircuts for the missionaries living here. Then next week the plan is to move on to one of the other teams in a different part of Moldova and work with that team for a week and do some haircuts. Pray for health as my body adjusts to the new food and time here. Pray that relationships would be build. Pray that I would be able to adjust quickly to the culture and for the language barrier. Excited for what's ahead!

Closer than I know

Hey guys! I'll be keeping up what's happening while I'm over in Moldova on this blog. A week from tomorrow I'll be flying out of the U.S. and getting ready to serve God in Moldova for two months. As it gets to leaving, I'm getting more excited, but with that comes nerves and just fear of the unknown. I think it makes me nervous that people won't speak English there, but there are a few at the base that speak it and will help me along I'm sure. My Romanian lessons are slowly coming along, but it's still scary to know I won't be able to communicate well. As this last week before I leave progresses, pray with me that I would be prepared mentally, spiritually, and physically for what's ahead. Pray that the flights would go well and that I make all of them....haha jk...I'm a little nervous finding my flight in Germany but I'm sure I'll be fine. Above all, pray that God's will for me in Moldova will be accomplished. I'm betting he has some awesome things in store :)
