Another week come and gone. It started off with me being venturous, wanting to try the third church on my list before I headed to the airport that afternoon. In theory, it was an easy train ride; in reality,
my getting there early was seemingly futile as I searched and searched for the place with no success.
After asking a couple of people for help, I finally arrived late, but thankful to have made it! Then that evening, I made it from the airport in two buses only to be dropped off at a bus stop with no hotel in sight. Another wandering, yet again a thankful heart after finally finding it!

Then came Monday. You may or may not know that just hearing the word conference drains me of energy, so I had a long week ahead. We spent the morning setting up and then exploring Berlin a bit before the events formally began that evening. The week had its ups and downs, but the ups were all being together as a team and getting to fellowship together. We also made a lot of connections at our booth with pastors who are eager to train their people to share the Good News; so the time was valuable.

While I truly enjoyed the camaraderie and love of the 12 men I spent the week with, it was timely to have a women's event to attend this morning where the speaker is from my home state and attended the same university where I got my grad degree! The lady on one side of me has family in my hometown, and the lady on the other side greeted me in the elevator last week at the church I was visiting! Needless to say, I felt well-connected. And so here we are at the end of another week with much to be thankful for.
