halfway done!

here marks the halfway point of being on team...didn't think i was going to make it. our team has survived six months together, and now a month in germany. wowzers! we've traveled to a town called Wittstock, in northern Germany. i really like the city; it has all the old city walls, narrow streets, town square, and brick buildings. today we visited two english classes, in different schools. in both situations, the teachers asked more questions than the students; sometimes it's really hard to restrain my inner teacher ;) right now it seems like our team has gotten into the routine of things; germany has lost some of its novelty, and the weariness of traveling is beginning to bear down on us again. our relationships with one another continue to fluctuate, and oftentimes i feel in a tug-of-war with my emotions and reactions. many times i long for the time when this year is over, and other times i truly cherish our time together. i wish i could keep my feelings in a bit of consistency. we continue to pray that we may improve our inward ministry, that our outward ministry would be increasingly effective. pray for further team unity.
