I have now been in Europe for about a month. I was able to spend a couple weeks in Ireland and Scottland as well as getting settled in a little bit here in Switzerland. It has been wonderful to have such an extended break and time to prepare, reflect and pray about what is to come. I have had a wonderful time reconnecting with old friends and making new ones. I have settled into an international small group where everything is in English and I am learning more German with every day. I start training in the Netherlands on Tuesday for ten days before returning to Switzerland to officially start at the beginning of September. Financially I am at 100 percent support for about the first three months and I am sitting at about 75 percent support for the rest of the year at this point. I feel ready and most things have fallen into place. A couple things that I could use prayer for is that my visa would come in soon with no complications. That my training in the Netherlands would go well and I would be prepared for the year. As well as that I would be able to build a strong support base here in Switzerland.
Thank you for your continual support.
God bless Melanie
