One week from now I'll be on a plane to Copenhagen!

Just one week till I leave now! I heard from my host family earlier this week, they sound like a wonderful family, I am so excited to meet them and join their family! The parents are Tom and Anette Hansen, they have three kids, two of which still live at home. The oldest is 24, and he no longer lives at home. The other two kids are Frederik, who is 16 and Ida, who is 11. Frederik loves music and has three guitars and his own drum set! Which is very exciting, because I will have an opportunity to play guitar with him, even though I can't bring my own guitar along. Ida loves horses, which I can totally relate, considering that when I was eleven, horses were probably my favorite animal. Apparently she goes riding every Thursday, I surely hope that I will have an opportunity to go with her at least once! They live about 30 minutes away from DIS by public transit, which is so wonderful. A half an hour commute is not bad at all! I am just so excited to meet them, and to join their family.

I am so ready to leave. At the same time, I am so excited to see what God has in store for me this last week while I'm in Tacoma. I haven't started packing yet, and I work every day, I want to make sure to say goodbye to everyone I love so dearly, and I plan to spend a lot of time in prayer and the Word. This opportunity of being here in Tacoma over J-term has given me so much time to press into God and truly fellowship with Him. I know that what God is teaching me about Him in this time will carry me over these next four months, and I know that He will continue teaching me so much about Him while I am in Copenhagen. He has called me to go, and even though I am going for the classes and the experience, God has so much more in store for me, and wherever I go in this world He guides me, and I will be a missionary in that place through my words and deeds! My only desire is that I will be able to glorify God in everything that I do and say wherever I go. While I am leaving my tight knit community here at PLU, I have no doubt that God will provide while I am there, and I do not need to fear falling away or getting disconnected. God is in Denmark, just like He is in Tacoma, or Spokane, and if he can encounter me here, he will most definitely continue to encounter me there!

This will probably be my last post before I leave. The next time you hear from me will be from Copenhagen! Till then, Vi ses!
