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.

A really cool way to celebrate a birthday

My birthday was truly wonderful this year. I want to share something I think is pretty interesting:
Some of you may know that I live with two families here in Hybe...I'm with one (Šuchtárovci) during the week and the other (Muchálovci) on weekends . I love them both and I am grateful they do so much to strengthen and support me. Anyway, can you believe that both of these families have the same anniversary date...and that their anniversaries also coincide with my birthday?!

That's right...Marta and Pavel were married 4/21/79, Katka and Lubo were married 4/21/01, and my birthday was 4/21/80!!

I'm amazed at what the Lord has done and is continuing to do through these families...and I'm certain he knew what he was doing when he brought our lives together.
Muchálovci, Šuchtárovci, and Sarah Fitch all celebrate April 21st!
