c.o.l.d.

Unlike the DR and SA teams we are not seeing the ocean or warm weather. Today it was quite cold but we were able to move about the City. We participated in a modified version of Amazing
Race seeing some famous local spots and praying for people along the way. We met a friend of Quest "e" and spent time with her. The group attended a local youth group and were blown away at the power and volume with which the teenagers sang. No sound system or band...just one guitar and deep faith.

The group loves the local food and drink. Our two gluten-free guys are managing just fine! Our team is learning how to sit and have conversations. Pray for opportunities to engage others in conversations. Pray for warmer weather to help the team moving around and during times of prayer walking.

I've been on both sides and its so cool to hear about your days through the blog. Will be praying for warmer weather and your conversations because it is really cool when you get to talk to the people. Exciting that you got to attend the YG and meet up with E they are such a cool bunch.

Glad things are going well over in The City. I know some things over there may have to be a little secretive but you are still showing God's love. He and I are proud of you guys! I've been praying for you all and will continue to do so! Hope your hearts and your minds are open for God to teach and show you and the others around you who He is and how great he is. I miss you Patrick! I'm very thankful to have a friend like you. Your willingness for Gods service is beyond amazing. I can't wait for you to tell me everything and maybe show some pictures! -Irene

Sounds like an awesome day ~ wow! Praying all throughout our days for you guys. Tell Kory we missed him at the rodeo, but didn't get home until 2:30am, so prayed for you guys as you were probably about to start your day today.
