Germany/Paris Here I Come

It has been a short 6 weeks at home and now I am off again, this time to Bremen, Germany and Paris, France! I am getting to love this traveling and seeing new places (to me, that is).
Through the International Mission Board, I will be traveling with 4 other ladies from our association (Goshen--which includes Louisa, Goochland, Orange and Spotsyvania Counties). We will be leaving on wednesday, Sept. 30th.
We will be traveling to Paris, leaving 3 of the team to help in a church there; 2 of us will be going to Bremen, Germany to help with an international baptist church's fall retreat.
On friday, Oct. 2, we will go north to a retreat center in the mountains for their weekend retreat. Mary, the other of the 2, and I will work with the children so all the adults can take part in the classes, etc. Mary has gotten together all the bible stories and I, the crafts, songs and games to keep the children occupied and give them a learning experience. Most know English, so that should not be a problem and maybe I can learn a little German. As most of you know, Germany is a country I have always wanted to visit, so I am so excited!!
We return from the retreat, back to the church on Monday, the 5th and have a full day of sightseeing before flying back to Paris on the 7th.
In Paris, we will do the same with the rest of our team at another church. I will have a chance to work with the children/youth choir, attend a concert by the church choir and then on Friday, the 9th, we will travel with the members to another retreat center for their retreat--again working with their children.
Please pray for our team, as we travel to our destinations and as we follow the Holy Spirit's lead in teaching these precious children more about God's love for them. I also, ask for prayer as I fulfill my duty as team leader, getting us safely to the right terminal, the right gate, the right plane! I can't believe they chose me--that is like the blind leading the blind!
I am so thankful for this opportunity--God is always blessing me and is always faithful in taking care of me. What a wonderful God we have!!
