Our schedule is packed!!

I must apologize for not updating the blog yesterday. We have so many opportunities that our schedule barely leaves time for sleep! Our days consist of sharing at a local university from 9 until 1, teaching our English course at the church from 2 to 5, then teaching the English course at the hotel from 7 until 10. We are blessed to have so many contacts with people and opportunities to build realtionships, but I think the team is considering mutiny.

Our time here has been so good, and we have already seen peoples perceptions of Christians change. One of our interpreters said that some young men came up to her after the English class and said they were surprised to find out she was a Christian. They said 'you look and act normal'! They were surprised to discover that as Christians we don't spend all our time dressed in black with a very somber mood and praying in front of icons. This type of change of perception is one of things we want to accomplish, so that the people here will be more open to hear us tell our story and to share the Gospel.

Please pray for us as we continue our teaching. The relationships we build this week will have a big impact on how our testimony is received. Pray for us to have a restfull sleep each night. Pray for protection from the evil one as we travel and share. Pray now for our Friday classes, that everyone will return, and that their hearts will be prepared to hear the Truth.

I am so thankful for our team here. Everyone is so committed and has a great attitude, even in the face of little sleep and no time to sit and eat a meal. They are a blessing to me, and I know to our friends here.
