City team Wednesday

The City team had a slow morning which was nice. We were able to spend some extra time a the hotel before heading out into the cool rainy day. We met one of the workers we spent last Friday with and his wife joined us today. We took about a 30 minute walk to a local mall for lunch and to spend time hearing about the work here. Later in the afternoon we returned to the office.

The group spent a few minutes praying and then setting up for English Tea Time. This is a free conversational English class offered each week. Some of the group make chocolate chip cookies with ingredients we brought from home. We shared the treat with those who attended the group.

After the group we headed out for a late dinner around 9:30. Once again we found great local food in a very small spot. I think 10 people ate and several others had a beverage for about $30. Rice, beans and a salad.

We invited L & E to spend the night at the hotel with our group. So tonight there were 11 all circled up in one of the hotel rooms as we talked about our day and what we learned. Then we prayed individually for L & E. (Tomorrow will be the last day we see them.) It was a special time. As we closed, prayers were shared in four different languages around the circle!

Tomorrow we finish strong.

Hi Brianna! I've been thinking and praying for you throughout the week. Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday and hearing about your trip. Maybe you can teach me how to pray in 4 different languages. :)
