A 9 hour plane ride that doesn't go exactly as you plan and a total time of waiting in airports and train stations of more than 8 hrs. is never fun. But the minute the train pulled away from Frankfurt to Cologne and the beautiful countryside came into view, all my frustrations melted away. This truly has been one of the most incredible days of my life, just walking around this city. Not only have I seen amazing places and experienced new things, but I caught glimpses of God and his love for these people. My heart overflows with compassion for them and I am so excited to see what is going to happen this week!
