So.. two days ago I had left my purse on the train, and after 48hrs the police was like theres no way youre getting it back and youll prob have to spend some extra time in Berlin in order to get your passport situation sorted out.

I was def stressed throughout the conference with this constantly in the back of my mind. Id been praying that things could just work out somehow in my favor so that I could at least get on the plane on time because I was quickly racking up how much this could cost me financially and it wasnt looking very good.

Keith had called a guy from church here in Berlin and last night he came to the hostel Im in and handed me 60euro ..like over $100 .. to make it through some of the fees, etc… that alone amazed me… it was truly the global network of believers working together to help someone out.

Anyways we made plans to go to the airline today and get my plane ticket reissued.. we got there and the lady at Turkish Airlines was like, are you esther? i was like .. uh yah.. and she said .. someone came in and brought your stuff.

After some bureaucractic stuff I got to see it…. ALL of it was there, the cash, the camera, the ticket, passport… I mean everything! Wow. Im still in shock.

Anyways now the crisis has ended and Im on my way back to Amman tomorrow. Im so glad, I missed it a lot. I def had some serious culture shock coming to Germany .. I didnt realize how diff the societies really are until I went from the conservative one to the ultra-liberal one…. woah … what a shocker!
