Next Steps

In this Post: I didn't really expect things to turn out this way but they have, great messages from church and news from my roommate in Turkey!

Now that I've lured you in let me explain. First off, I had a financial deadline at the end of December. Praise the Lord my one time costs where meet before that deadline but my monthly support was still lacking in about $800. What does this mean for me?

• It means that I will not be leaving on January 14th for Turkey.
• I will not be going to OM's Go conference in Germany 
• I will fly straight to Turkey when I do finish support raising
• I will attend OM's Go conference in August in Holland.

As much as I would have liked to go to leave in January there are definite advantages to this delay. One of which is that if I were to leave on January 14th I would be leaving from Tucson Arizona where I would be attending my brothers wedding. It would have been exceptionally hard to carry all my luggage to Tucson then fly out from there. I've found that I would really like to leave from home, not some hotel. I've also found out that my friend from New York, Phillip, is in the same boat as I am so I should see him in Holland! It seems that this delay is a blessing in disguise, and I praise the Lord for it!

In other news, I've heard from my future roommate in Turkey! He has been in Turkey for about Three years, and is currently looking for an apartment for the both of us. I've had to think about what kind of home I want over there, whether I want it to be quite or full of people, stuff I've never had to think about before. We've come to the conclusion that we would like to harvest an atmosphere where people could crash for the night or just come to hang out, we may even get a pull out couch so that people would feel even more comfortable. But we would like there to be moments of reflection and quiet where things aren't crazy and hectic. I find it fun to have to think about those things and I wanted to share that with you :)
