Türk Kası

Yes folks this is our wonderful Ultimate team. We went to Baden, Austria. It was amazing. We had so much fun and really bonded. We loved hanging out as a team, and just enjoyed playing together. I loved every minute of the weekend and love the team even more. These are just a couple pictures from our weekend. They are beautiful people aren't they.

Vienna!!

I just spent the weekend in Austria. I went to an ultimate frisbee tournament which was amazing. I will definitely blog about that soon, I don't have all the pictures yet though. I do however have pictures from Vienna. I got to spend a day in Vienna and it was wonderful. Here are a few pictures of my favorite things. Yes, one of them is a tree, Laura B and I were so excited when we saw these big beautiful trees that we gave one a hug.

Cappadocia

I got to spend the weekend in Cappadocia last weekend. It was amazing. There are thousands of cave churches in the valleys from anywhere from the 2nd- 11th century. It was amazing to see, and to be in a place where my brothers and sisters from past centuries lived and worshiped. While I was there I was struck with the hugeness of history and on top of that how much bigger God is. It is so awe inspiring to just be reminded of how much God is the same today as He was with those early believers. He is sovereign God over all. It is also really cool to be in a place that is in the Bible, Peter wrote to the people that lived in the caves that I got to see. God is good!

Leaches

So I was shopping with a friend the other day outside of a bazaar and I saw a jar of leaches for sale. What do people buy leaches for?! That is gross. This was the second place that I saw them. Is that normal?

Friends are a blessing

I have been so blessed to have wonderful friends come to visit lately. It has been a sweet time of fellowship. God is so good to my heart. It is amazing how much your heart can be refreshed by sweet friends. Lindsey, the time with you was more of a blessing than I can say. Mac and Sarah you guys are a blessing to my heart. I love you all. Callie you are more of an encouragement than you know. Thank you guys for coming to see me. Love you.

You know you've lived in Turkey to long when...

you are on a bus in traffic on a 3 lane highway (with 4 lines of cars across by the way) and your bus driver starts driving very fast past all the cars on the shoulder and your first thought is "Finally, you are driving!"
