We got off our plane, got our lugage and hoped on a train to amsterdam central station where we looked around for our pick up guy and eventually just took a taxi to the staff housing location (it turns out He slept in but he would have walked so we would have needed to use a vehicle and how with all our akward lugage)
So we met some staff from the hostels but most of them are leaving next week so there will be a fresh crew starting with us. The staff are from around the world but also alot from Canada or USA. We got a huge intrecate tour of our living arangments and got to put the bulk of our lugage in their office for safe keeping as we spend a week visiting family. So right now i'm in Ede where my Om Johan and Tante Magret live. There one of the families we are closest with so its great to come to open arms and familier faces.
For me its been great I relize I really havn't been here in long time, and since i'm so used to traveling alone its awesome having Marika with me. She lived here for a while so shes really confident riding the trains and taking care of buisness.
Well thats that just trying to stay awake so we can get over the jet lag ASAP.
On the list of things to do for me is:
-Buy cell phone/activate it
-Get dutch SIN # so i can get a dutch bank account
-Get settled and comfortable once we're back in Amsterdam ready for around 8 months of living in community and serving those around me.
God is good i thank Him for keeping us safe in our long travels and for helping us find the way!
Blessings - Heather
