Today we went to a local church. We sat throught the service understanding little to none, but worshiped in spirit. It was interesting to hear the songs we are use to singing at our very own churches, in another language. After church we met for "coffee hour" with the local people. We did our best to involve ourselves in the conversations, and ended up making new friends. You'll be seeing plenty of new friends added on all of our FB pages :) We took our party of 30 some; diverse followers, across the street to a local resteraunt for lunch. Our mid day lunch was loud and full of conversation.
From there we followed our new pals to the bowling alley! What a time, there were so many HIGH SCORES..and low. At least two students bowled for the first time. We took our group across from the bowling alley into another resteraunt and finished off the day with fruit drinks and banana splits. Every meal we had today started off with watching waitors clash together 8 tables at a time! Today was wonderful, along with the weather. Keep us in prayer, and keep the comments coming! we love them..not just emily

Dear Moriah and the City Team,
So awesome to read about your trip! Great to hear God ia already answering prayer for warmer weather and engaging conversations. Those are just the outward, visible signs of answered prayer. Let that be an encouragement to all of you that God is also answering your prayers for the unseen that is taking place inwardly in the hearts of the people you've been praying for.
Continuing to pray for you Moriah and rest of your team.
Love,
Chuck
Sounds like an awesome Sunday you guys had today! We love reading about your experiences, and know that the Lord is using them richly in your lives and in the lives of those you are interacting with. We continue to pray that your faith will be built up, that you will be filled with the knowledge of His will and supplied with spiritual wisdom and insight. (Col. 1) Even prayed for you guys while running the Austin Half-Marathon this morning! :-) (and eating breakfast tacos afterward!!)
It sounds like you are having so much fun!! We are praying for you all every day! Be safe, God bless. Emily, I LOVE YOU!! Post more pictures so we can see!! :)

FYI Allyson, this blog format is not user friendly for us older folk. It took quite a while before we figured out the format.
Have fun Blue Eyes. Papa
