Our blog last night was deleted as we got ready to post, sorry for the delay.
Saturday...
Rain, rain go away. The team was great today as they moved around the city all day in a cold rain. The dampness and sometimes cold feet didn't bring their spirits or attitudes down. It looks as though we may have rain everyday during our visit.
We toured several locations Saturday including two museums. We saw really, really, really, old items and were amazed at the history of this region. We toured a building which was the largest church in the world at one time but is now only a museum. We discussed the parallel that can take place when Christ is no longer first in our life.
We are learning about life in a big city:
>It rains sometimes, pull up your hoodie or open you umbrella, life goes on and so must you.
>During the day it takes around 30 minutes to arrive at your destination, on Saturday evening the same ride may take 1.5 hours! Standing most of the way.
>If you thought the bus was full to capacity, you were probably wrong.
>If the group runs you might make the ferry so you don't have to wait 15 minutes for the next.
>You can buy a watch for $4!
Sunday...
Today we worshiped with a group who speak the native language. A teenager the same age as our group helped us with the flow of the message. A very cool time. Many similarities but also differences of course. The teenagers and young adults joined us at lunch for interesting conversations.
This afternoon we have a brief time to relax and then dinner with some old friends. Everyone is doing well and learning a great deal. Our eyes and ears continued to be opened to new experiences. Thank you for your support! More soon.

Kelsea,
When are you comeing home!!! I miss you so much. Life is not the same without you. While you are in the "City" outreaching, i am learning that i must learn to share you others, but boy is that hard. Did you tell everyone my piece of advice to ponder upon? If not, then i will tell all. The advice is "To be or not to be. That is the question" Shackspeare really knows what he is talking about, most of the time. I love you.
