City on a Hill

After checking into our hotel and greeting the staff (the front desk manger has become a friend) we drove to the highest point in the City for an overview. It was a beautiful site. We enjoyed our first meal which was awesome. Back down the hill we attended and orientation with our contacts, learning about the people and city from old friends. The group had a slow relaxing dinner with 4 of our friend before returning to the hotel. Before bed we bought water and snacks from the store owner we have befriended. He greeted us right away. Now we are off to bed after 30 hours. Tomorrow we are following an Amazing Race format to learn the city and people who live here. Then Friday night youth group to finish the day. More soon.

Aunt Slowey -
Praying for your trip and the work and contacts you all are making in the city. Since you've been gone, I've learned how to use a computer and started crawling. Say hi to Rob.

That is awesome that the owner remembers and greeted you. He was so nice, even though there was a language barrier. Praying for you all and the people you have met and will meet.
