Commissioning

I am excited to share the story of my 23rd birthday and 24th hours with the Visa situation. But waiting on a few more details to make that a complete story...

In the mean time I have a few minutes before we all head to Stamford, CT for the Board of Global Ministries Board meeting where our Commissioning will take place tonight.

7pm EST www.ummissionaries.org for live streaming.

This also means our training comes to an end (in this capacity as I would argue, as I think the training is just beginning). Its been a very important time of preparing and getting practical information. And in some ways just a big party getting to know missionaries and deaconesses and home missioners and the rest of te young adults. I love the different perspectives people bring and the different experiences.

The changing leaves, fire pit, and playground don't hurt either. The other US-2's and Mission Interns have really become a family to process where we are and where we are going. Last night after our last service we had a mini Christmas, complete with gift exchange and a few carols. It seemed fitting to celebrate the promise of new beginnings...

Okay being called to get into the vans.

Prayers for everyone being commissioned tonight!
Cheers,
Hannah
