Another Update

Hello friends and family...So we have 2 more days in Antalya...4 more days in Cappadocia...and 1.5 in Istanbul/London...This time has gone by so incredibly fast. But for this post I'm just going to share some cool stuff and in a couple days I will update the blog with day to day adventures...

So God has just been doing really crazy awesome things since we've been in Turkey (and if you didn't know that I would encourage you to read the rest of this blog). But I just wanted to share some amazing stories/prayer requests for the Turkish people...

First, while I was talking with my language partner about a week ago we got into a discussion about religion and God. Jesus was really with us during that time and the only thing I really remember from the discussion what this one phrase that my friend said: "We are waiting for a leader." This question came from me asking him what he saw/felt for the youth/young adults of Turkey. It totally blew me away when he said that. So one thing we can/should/must pray for is that they (the Turkish people) would find their leader...and that he would be Jesus!

Second, I was talking with another Turkish friend we have made and she shared about different struggles she was having with family, life, etc...She believes in Jesus but still feels like she is not totally happy and that there is a big hole in her life. She doesn't know why or what is causing it. She is searching (like many young people are). She also said that she sees love, peace, happiness with Jesus. So pray for her and for all others who are needing that "hole" filled in their lives (whether they be turkish, you, or your friends).

And pray that our team will stay healthy as well! Kristin, Erin, and Esther had their share of a stomach bug...but are better now. Also pray as we wind down that we will continue to seek Him and stay safe and enjoy/love/etc Turkey...

Thanks for reading this blog (Mimi/Mom) and I want to end this blog with another song. This is definately a secular band but I really feel like their lyrics are soaked with Gods character/love/etc...Sorry if it doesn't make any sense but enjoy...

Angels and Airwaves - "The Adventure"

I want to have the same last dream again. The one where I wake up and I'm alive. Just as the four walls close me witnin my eyes are opened up with pure sunlight. I'm the first to know my dearest friends even if your hope has burned with time...anything that's cut shall be regrown and your vicious pain your warning. You will be fine. Hey Look, here I am and here we go; life's waiting to begin. Any type of love it will be showed; like every single tree reach for the sky. If you're gonna fall I'll let you know that I will pick you up like you for I. I felt this thing I can't replace where everyone was working for this goal. Where all the children left without a trace only to come back as pure as gold. I cannot live, I can't breathe unless you do this with me...

God is Good! Can't wait to see all of you when we get back. Blessings.
