Go for a Hike

Saturday began with jumping out of bed and dragging ourselves down to the train station at 7:30 in the morning. We got a train and ended up at Cinque Terre, a hiking trail between 5 different villages. We began our 9 kilometer trek at the furthest village. Janae and I covered quite a bit of terrain! It was incredible to see how the land and vegetation varied between each village. We stopped for lunch for a bit in one of the villages. We started our hike about 10:00 and got done around 3:00. Good weather and beautiful view of the sea and mountainside of Genova. After the hike I felt like a beast! That night we went over to the Debelak's and ate with Natalie and the boys. Then I stayed and watched a movie with Natalie, it was good to just relax after such a strenuous day! :)

Sunday was spent mostly at the Baptist church. I learned how to make a wonderful pasta dish with a creamy mushroom sauce that I will try to make when I return home. In the afternoon we played with some karaoke for a while. There was a team fellowship time at the Kroeker house at night. We had good time of singing, playing a game, watching the USA and Brasil hash it out in soccer (Brasil won!!!!!).

Today I spent the morning cleaning the apartment and then went to lunch with Dustin. This afternoon was filled with a meeting about strategic planning. We also got to hear an update from Andrew and Dustin on their trip to Prague.

I find myself not wanting to leave more and more as the trip is coming close to an end.

Praise God! I remembered about a college fund that has been tucked away for a while so because of that, my payment that I was concerned about getting paid to Moody should be taken care of! Thank You Lord!

Thanks for your prayers. Pray that there will be significant conversations this week and that God does things in the hearts of those we are ministering to. Also pray for my attitude and focus to be right. Thank you for your involvement in my life and in what God is doing! Praise be to Him!
