Birthday, walnuts, and our brothers and sisters

Sunday was a great day for our team. Although struggling with jet lag our Father was good in providing energy when needed.

Today was Laney's birthday. It was a great time celebrating this life. She is a precious girl with such a prayerful and tender heart. All the kids are doing great and have really enjoyed making a lot of friends.

Before the service today though three of us were standing up the road from the church when two guys on motorcycles came by and threw a walnut toward our direction. Fortunately it hit a tree we were standing by but it did not hit us. We have never had objects thrown at us before so it was an interesting experience.

Soon after we had a wonderful service where one of our members preached the message. He did a great job and we were very blessed by this message. We then had a great time of fellowship with this body of believers. It was a great experience to see and be with this light of hope that is located in central London.

After the service at the right time (God's timing) we were able to pass by another congregation of Ethiopian believers. This was special as one of out team members is from Ethiopia and was able to connect with this group of believers.

The rest of the day we went to three different sections to prayer walk, observe the people and to engage in conversation. Each team had a great day and had many encounters. We thank God for these opportunities.

Sunday was a full and exhausting day but nonetheless very exciting start of our journey.
