KW Wichita Falls, TX

hey mom, dad, & kristen. this first day has been extemely long. 9 hours on a plane, 1 hr on a tram all without sleep. then once we got to germany we had to do a scavenger hunt from 12 to 6 to get us familiar with the city and to keep us from falling asleep. Tongiht we meet our JSI's and the M. I am having a great time! i love yall very much!

The first day in Cologne was the longest of my life. We were all tired, yet we toured teh city hoping to learn to fine our way around. Fortunately, God provided, our JSI's to guide us in our exhausted state of mental imbalance...We were all a little loopy for at least a little while. It rained off and on but our trek kept going. Germany is so beautiful and the people are willing to talk to us. One girl just started a conversation with a couple on the train. Tomorrow, once we're well rested, we'll be able to do so much more.

Well, today consisted of less that 1 hour of sleep with that crazy plane ride, and a lot of walking, whichh definately wasnt a bad thing, we all pretty much have no clue how to navigate this city. so we've got a week left, and i'm def hoping God does some amazing things through us on there.

After an exhausting day of no sleep we made it to Koeln. We got to walk around the city which is beautiful, and see talk to some people. I can tell this is going to be wicked awesome.

Today we learned how to get around Koeln by ourselves! (with a guide of course). so now i know how to read a german map and pronounce a few more words i didnt know before. evven though our stomachs are a little crazy from all the strange foods weve eaten from base camp till now, and we have only slept a couple of hourse in the past few days, and haven't showered in a while (not including the rain that has been following us), God has still shown his control in that we are all still holding up sompletely fine and we got safely over here. Thank you all for your prs.

Arrived safely, but very tied. found our way around Cologne via the public train system. Climbed what seemed like a thousand stairs to the top of the tower of the cathedral. An amazing place. Can't wait to be used up for His glory. Pray for rest, for wisdom, for harvest.
