My year in Slovakia

YAGM is a program from the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) that gives young adults the opportunity to be in global mission. There are about 45 active missionaries from YAGM spread out all over the world - sharing experiences that foster the development of leadership, present cross-culture skill building, and ultimately bring forth young adults that are "globally formed and globally informed". I am very excited to be joining this program for a one year experience in Slovakia. I anticipate being of service but also growing in my faith and personal identity.

Well after sleeping in later than I usually do, I felt exhausted when 10:00 AM came and I had to get up. Luckily our country coordinator (Nata) is incredibly kind and didn't schedule any of our appointments until after 11. Look at this picture of the awesome bridge going over the Danube River.







After setting up our bank accounts (how we receive our food allowance), we had a few other errands to run before getting a tour of the "old town". Bratislava is a larger and diverse city...here are some highlights of the old town:
