We made it to Berlin! I made it 48 hours without crying! Well, I think it was 44 hours. I made it to the grocery store and successfully asked for help and got everything off my list. But then it was time to sign up for a cell phone and then the landlord complained that the dogs bark and I’m jet lagged and overwhelmed and it just feels like a lot today.
But we cooked our first meal in our apartment (chicken piccata) we got a bunch of supplies, Joel hung some art and we’ll hit IKEA tomorrow. So many ups and downs! Please keep us in your prayers as the four of us get settled.

We have an apartment waiting to welcome us in FOUR DAYS!! Our friends picked up the keys today and are graciously moving a few things in to help get us settled when we arrive. Pray for us and the dogs as we get last minute projects done and say “see you laters” to our friends and family.

We are two weeks away from flying to our new home in Berlin.
We’re so excited to start our new journey but after saying a big goodbye today it got me in the soul. How am I supposed to leave this incredibly rich life?
I’m behind on updates and thank yous. We have felt your love and prayers. Sign up for our newsletter for updates. Start taking bets on how soon I cry in the Supermarkt because I can’t find what I’m looking for. But mostly please keep praying for us. This is hard and the next two weeks will be very very emotional. Please handle us with care if you see us in public. π

Joel and I had the incredible experience of being commissioned by the Alliance as international workers! It all went by in a blur so THANK YOU @elissapic for taking pictures. We met new best friends and were so very loved. I’ll never forgot the experience of being cheered on and prayed for by thousands of people.
We’re still working on support raising. If you feel led, please consider a one time donation or monthly! We love you and are so grateful!

So I need to enunciate better. Noted. Thanks @mike_picconatto I look forward to working with you/getting you back. But are we sure “sweating coordinator” isn’t a real job? π₯΅πππ
