Berlin life

Today marks the last day of our time together as a team in Berlin. We have been together since May 7 and it has been very good. I'm a little sad about their departure, but mostly about the fact that I won't be around AU to connect with these teammates through the coming year. We have connected well and processed some meaningful experiences together. Anytime I encounter some of the profound WW2 sites that are the physical places where tragedies and atrocities occurred I came away pretty much speechless. The group was able to process thoughtfully through most experiences.

The best part is that my wife is coming to Europe and will meet up with me in a couple days. Yay! Leslie and I will meet up in Prague on Monday and I can hardly wait. I've missed her presence ad sharing some of these experiences with her. The difference in this period of separation is that she has had to finish packing up the house without me. :( We did what we could before I left, but she has been working for the last few weeks and still needed a certain amount of stuff to live from. The other difference is that while Berlin has been great, the best part of our time in Europe will be had together. I'm grateful for this time to nurture our marriage relationship!
Finish strong Les! I love you!
Nate.
