Once on the train, i was able to relax in the comfy trains, listen to music and enjoy the amazing scenery. It was absolutely gorgeous driving up the coast a bit as the tide was going in. Small little inlets with couples walking along the shore, a family flying a kite and almost every person had a dog. It was incredibly serene and calming watching the sun go down slowly. Once on the train i was able to fall in and out of sleep, but with the constant movement of people and the train's horn, it was difficult to get a proper sleep. Around 7am we pulled in Whitefish Montana, after waiting for luggage and talking to come fellow travelers. The ride from the train station to the base was just under and hour, and base is amazing. It i an old army base=so the buildings are all in rows and straight lines. I was able to unpack everything and get settled in and have a nap and shower before my room mate came. She is a total sweetheart and i think we will get along really well.
I am really exhausted with little sleep on friday and next to none on the train i should head to bed. Tomorrow breakfast is around 7 and then at 8 we have orientation. I am looking forward to meeting the people in my program because right now there are around 200 people at the base and i have no idea who is doing my program and who are involved in other areas.
Pray Requests:
-that tomorrow goes smoothly and that i am able to meet new people
-that i will feel like i am living in a community and get to know others
-that God will continue preparing me for this year-open up my heart, eyes and spirit to his leading
-that i will be able to manage my time well and prioritize because i figure i will have a fairly heavy workload.
