The day started early…the team met in the lobby at 7am and
Mike began the hunt for our bus driver.
He found him parked a ways down the block from our hotel and unable to
speak a LICK of English – let the good times begin! All 13 of us loaded the tour bus and began
our drive to find our tour guide; he is one of the professors at the Bible College
we are working with here. We thought we
were going to be meeting him at the Bible College but when we drove past the
turn to the College and out of town we began to get nervous…thankfully we
quickly met up with him and his wife in their neighborhood just outside town.
We had about an hour and a half drive to the city we were
going to tour for the day. For many of
us this sightseeing day was a dream, a hope, and a prayer come true – all rolled
into one! After we return we will post
pictures from the day but for now we will include a picture of the lovely
ladies and the jolly gents!
After walking up and down and up and down we boarded a bus and headed outside of town for supper. Once we arrived we settled into a
dinner of more shashliks, hummus, and
falafel’s than you could shake a stick at!
This was followed by delicious baklava and a demitasse of coffee so
black and thick it could be mistaken as crude oil!
We are walking weary individuals who planned to be lulled to
sleep tonight to the sound of the sea outside our rooms. Tomorrow we will awake refreshed and ready to
spend the day working at the Bible College and ministering in any way they ask
and the Lord leads.
