Day 1, 8/26, 6:50am: Today s the day. I have KSSN 96 blaring in the background to make sure that I get up and about. My suite case is still half way empty, I tend to be a last minute person. That just makes things more exciting, more of a rush, a "am I going to make it on time?" attitude. However, when it comes to catching my flight to head to Europe I don t really plan on having that rush of "am I going to make it or not?” Well I guess I better get up and finish packing. I have never used a blog before and so this is a little weird for me right now. I still don t really know what I m doing yet, or how to upload pictures, or how to put this post up on my wall. But it s all good! I do want to say thank you Lord for giving me this opportunity and I pray that we get back safe and sound. But until September the 12th....it s GO TIME!!! Grace and Peace Mason

I have met and have been becoming friends with people from all 15 of these nations. It’s so wild! Everyone here has been super nice and most can speak fluent English. The Lithuanians and the Russians speak broken English. It’s tough holding a conversation with them because once you get passed a lot of the easy ... read more

I love the town!!!! and the people are really nice and most speak broken English. ... read more
