I just finished my first official morning as George's gopher - his previous gopher having left at 5am this morning.
I had a safe and peace-filled trip over from Georgia on Friday night. Thanks for your prayers.
It was good to overlap a few days with the previous gopher, Nathan Smith (see blog at right). Nathan is an easy-going guy with a real sense of humour. Last night he tallied all of the countries he'd been to over the course of the year, and the total came to 30.
I'll be in London for the next few days - learning the role, doing a driving lesson/evaluation (on Friday), etc. Then off to Germany August 16 (see itinerary below).
I offered some prayer requests in a previous blog, but I now have three keywords for this year. They are love, humility, and wisdom. Please ask God to grant me these three things in abundance. Please also pray for a real unity among the small team at the office here in London (where I'll be roughly half the year).
