Lots of praying

I don't think I have ever prayed so much in my life.... in so many different ways, and I have never taught and prayed for people in short phrases which have to be translated as we go, with myself having no idea if what is being translated is close to what I was intending. Made me think that must be how God thinks sometimes... "Everything I say, they interpret, apart from that brief moment on the mountain with Moses..." Ces't la vie as Jon said.
It's been great to be able to connect with the pastors and leaders here and encourage them with prayer and reflecting on how things are going. We spent two hours last night (Katie and I) talking with our hosts, Tanya and her husband Pastor Igor and their eighteen year old Vika, hearing the testimony of their life... Vika's views on boys, Tanya's experience before she knew Jesus (incredible story) and how Igor feels about what is going on in church and their lives. It felt like family....
And, big news, first time of sleeping through the night.
Today we are visiting the street kids ministry, and teaching (probably) at the prayer meeting...
We are about to have coffee with Paul and Gala (we brought them Peets.. yay). One important piece of news for prayer.. Paul has an incredibly sweet tooth... he was eating chocolate condensed milk from the bowl yesterday...
