Our days here are winding down - we saw many great sites today! The highlight above ALL was the worship service at the fellowship - later I will post the site where you can check it out. We had GREAT worship time led by people from all over the world - Asia, Europe, America, Africa, and more - but only for foreigners - locals were not allowed in. That was hard for us. It was just like heaven - every tribe, every tongue, every nation, shouting praise. The highlight of our trip!!! The speaker was from... Philadelphia! We sang in a foreign language and realized, maybe for the first time, thatGod doesn't speak English! After weeks of whispering and making handmotions, the freedom was GREAT. Freedom we take for granted back home.
On a less serious note, we have discovered shopping, and bartering. I can't keep these people out of the market. Jeff & Stephanie are doing their best for the economy! We are swamped by vendors with all sorts of must-have items. John has been to the Hard Rock Cafe three times, well four counting tonight. He says he is exchanging shirts but I bet he is eating cheeseburgers! He & Sally & Kelly went to Pizza Hut tonight- and missed a "great" dumpling meal. Ha ha. Carol got a manicure - sounds like we are suffering right now doesn't it?? This is our reward time and we are happy to have it!
More news tomorrow then a LONG flight home - we are tired but excited and READY to come home. All the sick ones are better and no new cases so far! Ask for safe travel and an UNCOMPLICATED flight home - we are exhausted and don't really need storms or delays. By the way, I guess there have been all sorts of tsunamis and storms and earthquakes and none of that has remotely touched any of us or our camps so no worry! We are out of the news loop so we are not sure what has been going on in the world outside of camp songs and water buffalo and pigs and tongue twisters and karioke! Love to all- SEE YOU SOON! Don't forget us - we aren't home yet! Cindy & the TEAM!!
