Today is the DAY! Soon I'll be living on another continent and feebly fumbling my way through the art of french communication...
...well, not right away.
My flight tonight leaves from Chicago O'Hare at 10:05pm and arrives in London Heathrow; from there, I'll connect to a flight headed to Basel, Switzerland (out of my way a bit? yes. random? not at all). Some very good family friends are picking me up in Basel and driving me 20 minutes north to their home in Kandern, Germany. Kandern is a second 'home' for me as well; when I was 13, my family and I spent a year there living as missionaries at Black Forest Academy, an international Christian school for children of missionaries around the globe. Situated in a quaint German village, BFA is a place we absolutely adore. For me, a lot of spiritual maturing took place there, as well as immense growth in my global perspecitive. I am so grateful that my days spent "de-jetlagging" will be in a place I feel so comfortable, surrounded by people who still know me well.
Grenoble will come soon enough; Friday, I'll spend three hours on a train headed there, furiously brushing up on my french and praying I won't get lost once I arrive. :) Grenoble, à bientôt!

Wow! Your journey starts tonight then! I am going to pray for safe travels. You are going to grow SO MUCH over there! I will be anxious to hear about it all. I will also be praying that you will be able to communicate well with the people there.
Hope your heart is filled with lots of peace and not peas!
