These last few days of training have been great for bonding as a team and learning how the Lord will guide us through the coming weeks. I have been blow away by the stories that our team members have brought forth as to how the Lord has provided for them. The excitement is growing in our team as we count down the hours before we board our first flight for Bosnia at 9am. We then have a 21 hour trip taking us through four airports before we get to Sarajevo.
Today we had some free time and went to the Astros v Braves 1pm game up at Turner Field. I hadn't seen the Braves this season and it was great to be able to spend this time with my team members at the game. It was empty as it was a day game during the week so we got some cheap tickets and found a section to claim as our own on the third base line towards the outfield. We also had a pair of tickets right behind the plate on the second row so we rotated who got to use the nice tickets. They were probably the closest I have ever been to the field in a pro-game.

Now we are preparing for our travels tomorrow by making our final packing and preparation. I am very excited to be able to serve the Lord for this amazing period of time abroad. There is such a need for all people, not just students in Sarajevo, to hear the Gospel I am excited for these next six weeks and the years and years of ministry to come.
