Today we had a meeting with our site coordinator, Tomas, and another man named Adimi. It went so well and made us all feel a lot more at ease. I think only my parents and Zach knew this before, but a lot of our plans, housing arrangements, etc were not organized very well because this is the first year that Tomas ever worked with Youth in Mission. He was very busy this spring and his wife just had a baby two days ago. Needless to say, we all were left a little worried, and nervous about how the next weeks would unfold. Today at our meeting, the man Adimi that I mentioned told us that he would be filling Tomas' place, as Tomas has so much on his plate at the moment. Adimi grew up here, and now works in an office here on Seminary. He kept telling us, I will help you with anything you need. He said whenever we need to go to the store, just want to see around, or need transportation to an event on our schedule, he is here! How nice that was to hear! He speaks English really well and will also serve as our interpreter. It will be nice for the Restrick's too, because they won't have to drive us all around anymore. They have been so nice and so willing to help us! They are still so great. Their house is right across from the girls house, we're just steps away! So still we fix our meals here, eat dinner with them, and all have devotions and pray together at night.
Anyways, It was great news to receive. Everything is straightening out in God's timing. Tomorrow we will be going to two different districts to Pastor's meetings to talk with them about how youth is like in the churches of America. We'll see! It should be a good day. Thank you still for all of your encouragement. It's so great to hear :)
Love Always, Allyson
