Dear Young Ambassador parents and alumni,
First off we would like to thank you for all your love and support, we wouldn't be where we are today if it wasn't for all of you. We leave tomorrow at 1:40 pm for Copenhagen. If all goes as planned we will have a fireside that night we arrive. As we travel throughout Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland over the next four weeks I (Logan Wilkes, the YA president) will update this blog with what we are doing and where we are. Please follow the posts to know where your children and fellow YA's are and what they are doing. I will update the blog as often as I can find an internet connection. I hope to be able to to add pictures and text from the students during our tour.
Below I have uploaded out itinerary so you can follow our progress across the Nordic Countries.
All of your prayers and thoughts will be felt as we have a wonderful opportunity to meet wonderful people and learn from their examples and culture.
Love,
Logan
