City on a hill

The expression "city on a hill" will never have the same meaning for the city team. This afternoon went to a park, sitting high atop a hill, overlooking the city in all directions. From our vantage point we walked alone and in pairs, praying for our friends, old and new, as well as the Father's work within the city.

In the evening we participated in a conversational English class with people from all over the world. We used photos of New England as conversation starters. It was amazing to see everyone so engaged and involved throughout the evening.  

After a late evening stop for cay and desserts at our favorite cafe, we came back to the hotel, ready to rest before another full day tomorrow. It is our last day in the city. Although there is still more to be experienced here, we're beginning to think about home and how to infuse all that we've seen, heard and learned into our daily lives. 

Keep praying, c.t.

Hi City Team!!!
The days have come to an end, but I'm sure your hearts are still on the run. I'm glad to hear the awesome experiences you've all been able to have. May God keep you all safe on the trip back home, and we will all be waiting to hear the wonderful stories and testimonies of what God had done in the city. Love you all!...especially ONEWAY's Kasita ;) lol...

Dear City Team, you have blessed us here in the States probably at least as much as you have blessed anyone in The City, and maybe more. We can hardly wait to give our daughter Julie a HUGE hug (we have extra hugs if anyone needs one--like you, Jaime!) and to hear about everything, or as much of "everything" that you want to share with us (LOL). Safe travel home!

Hi Jaime!
Everyone misses you a lot, but especially Josiah. He was telling me tonight how he can't wait to see his "favorite sister" - which s a pretty is deal since he has three other sisters to choose from!

Mom and I are very proud of you and can't wait to see you and hear the stories of how God has worked in your life and in the life of the people you have been in contact with!
