So, this past unit of time has been very interesting.
Christmas was awesome. I got to hang out with a lot of cool German people...and be part of a family for a week. In my many travels during Christmas, I discovered the person that was meant to teach me German...a 7 year-old girl named Anna who doesn't speak English. All that I knew how to say in German was "how do you say ____ in German"?...amongst various phrases and words that are thoroughly unimportant. For Christmas i got some pretty cool stuff [and I haven't even really celebrated it yet!]. I got: Beef Jerky, Smoked Cheese, Pocket bibles, Green Duct-Tape [from my parental units], DrPepper JellyBellys, a DrPepper T-Shirt[from Kayanna], and some boxers with the British Flag proudly wrapped around them [from Stephanie]. So, I already made a wallet out of Duct-Tape and it's pretty sweet.
My parents sent me a box with some of that stuff in it, and I took a second [actually, when I say "second" what I really mean is 15 minutes] to look at it, and I came to a very interesting conclusion: my mother does not know how to spell "Germany"! The entire address what amazingly perfect, even down to the fact that it was sent to "Ruppelsdorf" and not "Herrnhut", but the country that it was being sent to was "Germay". Thanks mom, I love you a lot and you make me laugh.
I will be leaving tomorrow morning to do some outreach in northern Germany for about 2 weeks and then I will be back in Herrnhut for about a day, and then me and my team will be leaving for Sarh, Chad...it's coming up fast!
Leaving tomorrow brings about some bad things as well as good things. 1st of all, my sanity will leave when I say goodbye to Joel. He will be leaving on Sunday for Afghanistan and I won't see him for three months...crazyness!
Well, it's 2am and I still haven't packed yet......but i'll update again soon.
Love you all!

JUSTIN!
As I'm writing this I am talking to you on IM, it's good to talk to you again. March 30th seems like so long! But God is going to do awesome things with you and through you! It's so cool to know the god you love and serve is the god who created the people you are going to reach out to. And he is softening hearts and opening the doors for your team. Lean in to him during this outreach as always because through him you can do anything!!!!
hey...i don't have much to say...but i heard this quote and had to share it with you....
"love the lord with all your heart, soul, mind and strength and always do so in a positive, forward-thinking and exciting way."

ok, so I don't know if you remember me, but I met you at WCC... wow, sounds like you are on some pretty exciting adventures with God!!! Awesome, keep lovin' Him and lovin' others... and that cool guitar thing you do, keep it up and keep it real! Blessings, Lindsey Diacogiannis
ok... so I watched the video you have on here, and I was wondering if the guy by the post when it says, "go get em tiger" is Josh Henry? He looks like it... LD
We have been working very hard here. It has been time consuming and has involved a lot of sweat. But after many hours I think your mother now knows how to spell three or four foriegn countries correctly.
