My Hobbit Moment

6/8/2014

Dzien Dobry (hello) from Poland! I am finally here with my team! For the next few weeks that I'm here, I will be posting about what the culture is like here in Poland and what the Lord is teaching me. 

But for my first post in Poland, I wanted to share about my Hobbit moment, the moment I felt like Bilbo Baggins on the way to my first international journey.

There is a moment in the first Hobbit movie that I absolutely love. 

It's the moment when Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit,  runs after the dwarves and Gandalf. As he runs through the Shire to catch up with them, someone asks him where he's going, and he responds with, "I'm going on adventure!" 

That moment in the movie perfectly captured how I felt as I boarded the plane for my first international adventure/journey with the Lord. It was a rush of excitement and a little fear. I had never been on an international flight before. I had no idea what to expect from a nine hour flight. I also had no idea what to expect once we landed in Frankfurt, Germany to catch a connecting flight to Poland. 

In the end, it was a great flight. In fact, it was a movie lover's dream with access to a lot of recently released films. Choosing which movies to watch and whether to watch them or sleep was my biggest dilemma. 

But we landed safely, and I got to spend nine hours in the Frankfurt airport with my team before our flight to Poland. 

We learned some German from a family that was headed to Scotland. 

I mistakenly tried to have passport control scan my passport... the officers laughed at me. You can watch a video where I explain what happened. It was very comical.  Just click on the photo to go to the link.

We also slept in the airport. 

Savannah ended up playing with several Indian children while Chelsea and I napped. They had story time with her. 

We spent twelve Euros on chocolate and water. 

We also made up cat phrases.

In the end, we were pretty exhausted when we landed in Poland after over twenty four hours of travel. But we are here now and we're excited to see what the Lord has in store for us this summer! That's pretty much it for my Hobbit moment, but for now...

Do widzenia (d-oh veedzenia), Goodbye! :)

P.S. One of the free movies on the flight to Germany was the second Hobbit movie! I felt so loved by the Lord!
