Day 1

from Katie: It looks like we are all posting. There is lots to say.. :) Liz and I slept for 12 hours and the best part of waking up was drinking Peets coffee we brought. Our hosts are awesome, a great pastor and his family. 18 year old daughter is our translator. Jesus presence is obvious in this house, and I am humbled by their hospitality and generosity to us. I have the sense of being welcomed as an alien and stranger, in a wonderful way. Last night, in a wild twist, this family celebrates the Jewish Sabbath and we did that with a feast and ended with communion. I sensed perhaps what Paul meant when he wrote that we were members of one body, realizing we share the love of Jesus, and the forgivness of our sins, no matter what language we pray in.Been a great time.more to write soon. my ankle contiues to be ok. I brought only right shoes, since its been broken I have only needed one,but in faith brought a one left shoe in case I get healed. thanks for praying friends, we feel it!
