I`ve returned to Lausanne now after a full week of learning about relief work, humanitarian aid, and Medair`s mandate within that context. It`s very difficult to know how to summarize such an intense week, but to say that I have learned so much about this type of work, about myself, about living and working within a team. My head is still swirling with the information and I plan to spend the next days processing through all of it. More to come on how this might fit into my future plans!
I`m staying in Lausanne for a few days now with a friend that I met at the training, Sophie. She has been so kind & it is very refreshing to have a home to stay in rather than a hostel! Kathleen & Gavin, two others I met this past week, also stayed here last night & it has been a relaxing last day of walking, talking & processing together what we`ve experienced.
I don`t have many photos, but here are a few to enjoy of the beauty here.

Wow, looks beautiful there! I'm glad things are working good for you. I hope you post more pics, never having gone overseas I can't get enough of seeing these places. I'll continue to pray for you. I know God has you where he wants you right now. Talk to you soon.
