day 1 around the City

We crashed last night and slept pretty well in our new home away from home. The group loved the breakfast buffet with some very different options.

Today alone we traveled by foot, bus, taxi, subway, and ferry. The group has really taken to the food here. They're adventurous and trying new dishes. One of our contacts, who is new to the whole group spent the entire day with us. We learned some of the amazing history found just down the street from our hotel, visited a private school and attended a youth group. We had great weather today and are probably going to puddle jump tomorrow as we tour some really, really, really old sites.

Praying the SA folks get their bags, some of us know how that can distract. Glad to hear all the DR open doors.

Need to rest, more soon. CityTeam

HI JACKIE!! It's Jenny... I just wanted to let you know its awesome what you're doing for God, and we were praying for you at my church on Wednesday night, it's actually the same church that your grandpa goes to, and we both wanted to pray for a girl who was going on a mission trip, and then later we found out it was about you! haha... I hope you r safe there, and I hope God is giving you the perfect words to say! God bless you and use your time there wisely! FICA COM DEUS!
