City team Monday

It's all about relationships, and God has a purpose in everything, big or small. These are two key lessons we are learning.

Today we traveled to he highest point in the City and the sun peaked through the clouds long enough to see how vast this City really is. It can become overwhelming if we loose His focus.

We did our shopping today in a very, very, very old "mall". This evening we hosted a bowling party for local friends and then went to dinner. Great conversations and laughter together.

We are mastering travel in the City life; walking (lots of walking), buses, ferry's, and taxi's again today. We are on the back stretch of our time. More soon.

Glad to hear an update from SA.

Wow...I can't think of more powerful lessons...lessons that will equip you for the rest of your lives to live out your faith and love others as Christ loves us. What a powerful experience it must have been to view the City from its highest point and look out over it after spending so many hours busy within it. God is moving and He chose you all to hear and learn and experience Him in this way. What an awesome honor! So proud of you all! Bryan, things are very good here. Missing you, but feeling such peace knowing God has you right where He wants you. Love you honey.

Allyson,
It feels like it was just the other day that I called you and told you I was dropping out of quest since no one was helping me support raise. But you told me to not trust in man, but trust in God, and sure enough I was able to support raise all the money I needed and then some! I hope you are making impacts on these young people's lives the way you impacted mine. I hope all is well in the city and God is doing some amazing things with and through you guys. Thanks for your dedication and patience.

PS
West beat the east by 5, Kobe was MVP and Melo is finally a Knick. Adrian Gonzalez is hitting on a tee, which is good news for his shoulder.

Questies-
Don't forget to take time out this week and thank your staff members for their dedication and commitment not only to the program but to your personal walk with the Lord.

Hi Dan,
Love reading about all you are doing on the trip. I am having a vacation adventure of my own as Aunty Nadine is here with me in Florida. In a few days we will be together again sharing stories of our experiences...
I am so proud of you and all that you do. This is an incredible opportunity for others to see Christ through you and the team...go overflow!
Love you more, Mom (Romans 15:13)
