Yesterday morning was my first reception shift by myself, and I survived! No, it's wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I'm still not sure about how to do everything, but I know I'll pick it up as I go. I'm also at reception for the afternoon.
So I'm sure that everyone has heard all about the Volcano and about how most flights in Europe have been stopped. It has been very difficult for everyone here. We've had lots of people coming to see if we have any beds available. At Schipol airport here in Amsterdam, they have beds set up for all the people who are stuck at the airport. It's really a big mess. One of our staff members was supposed to be flying home to the States after serving here for 6 months, but she is stuck with us a little longer. :) Not that she really minds, but I can understand wanting to go home and not being able to. What's really strange is there is nothing different with the sky. It's bright blue and the sun is out! We have been having very great weather these last few days. I'm even wearing skirts (which I'm sure is a strange concept for my mom, lol). But it's still cool, only around 60 degrees, but I don't mind. :)
The over-all theme here lately has been Prayer. At church, in our Bible studies, and in our small group times, we have been talking a lot about prayer and just how, when, and why we talk to God. It's refreshing to go back over the fundamentals of our faith.
