The first full day

Hey everyone! Hope to be posting some sweet pics tomorrow of all our adventures.

Today we were able to have a lot of cool conversations with people, and learn a lot from the people we are staying with - they are very wise and very gracious and it is a blessing to be with them. We also had an authentic local dinner, which was greasy and good. We will see how it works out tomorrow... :-D

Please pray for us, that we would let Jesus take over this trip and take over our lives - basically that His Kingdom would come, and His will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. We were able to pray and worship tonight on the roof of the place that we are staying, in a city where the majority of people do not know Jesus. It is very much like Texas - so many Christians, yet so many people who do not follow Christ. It is both discouraging and encouraging. Discouraging to see so many people lost and without hope, or with a false hope, yet encouraging because we have to chance to share the good news with so many people who do not know it (The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few (Matthew 9:37 (see also 38)). We see a people who follow a false god and think about how foolish that is, but really, we do it so often in our lives, or at least in my life. We seek out the approval of men, the comfort of things, and the satisfaction in so many things that in the end will not satisfy. And when these things our followed, we are the ones left with a false hope in a false god. I want to seek the True God, the Holy One of Israel, the most Awesome God, and HIS name is Jesus.
