Home Again

I finally made it home yesterday morning and pretty much spent the entire day in a semi-conscious state. I suppose I'll start from Monday when I left. I had so much stuff that Joe had to lend me an extra suitcase. Benny and Korny gave me a box of stuff (antz merchandise, German books and magazines, which are pretty cool, some candy, and a potato.). The flight over was pretty uneventful, other than the fact that we were late leaving, and then took forever to get across the ocean. I did get upgraded to business though...that made me happy. I arrived at Washington Dulles International at 11pm local time (5am in Germany). When I got to customs the line for the citizens was about 3 times longer than the one for foreigners. After spending about 45 minutes waiting in line, I finally got to customs. They searched my bag and decided that the potato was a threat to national security and so they took it....it's a potato. Some random farmer is probably going to read this and then tell me how horrible I am for bringing a foreign potato onto US soil...oh well. Anyway, after spending a little over and hour in customs I finally made it out of the airport...and then realized that I pretty much could have stayed there as I had to wake up at 4:00am the next morning to go back to Dulles to fly home. Now my bag is lost somewhere between DC and here, so for all of you in Germany your email addresses are in the lost bag...so after I get it I'll email you.

This summer was absolutely incredible! I was able to learn a lot and have some great experiences along the way. The ministry there in Augsburg is absolutely incredible and I look forward to sharing more about it with you all personally! Thanks to all of you for your prayers and support! God bless!
