Central Asia Update, Sunday, May 16, 2010

We all made it fine and all of our luggage as well. We did get stopped coming out of the airport and they went through all of the action packers but had no problems with anything.

We made our bumpy trip to G-town (we all might need some chiropractic work done when we get home)and settled in. On our first full day Sunday we went to a foreigners meeting, where we met nearly all of the other foreigners in G-town. After the meeting we had an wonderful stroll with the Hunt family to Ellagance (Pizza) Restaurant and had a buffet of cheese, Italian, and lamb supreme pizza. After that Dick and Rachel attended a B-Group and the rest of us attended the English Club. The English Club had nearly 40 English speaking Central Asians. This was an amazing time building relationships. After nearly 2 hours of games and activities, we carried the fun to the streets where we all played Volleyball and soccer and Mallory took a personal walk with a girl who wanted to walk and have a conversation (this was an amazing highlight). I have never seen kids stay and hang out and socialize like this before. We have a packed week ahead of us and are ready to take it on.

Prayer requests:
God's safety and guidance over team.
More intimate relations with the youth to be built over the week.
For this team to be God's light.
