Shopping for a Turkish rug seemed to be taking longer than weaving one. I grew impatient. Then God once again showed me my foolishness.

The North American members of our team have returned safely to the United States. Praise God!
We made it back to our port city with absolutely no problem. It only took us 6½ hours to get here (as opposed to 13-plus hours last year). The roads were much better this year and our “m” said if we left really early we would have no trouble with traffic. We are back to our hotel....

We had no problems while driving and arrived at the hostel at 6:30 p.m. We will lea...

While the team hung out and played with a group of children, our “m” and “Y” took a long walk into the hills to talk, where “m” witnessed to our friend, who — praise God! — has been diligently reading the Bible, listening to the Christian radio program...
We found our good friend “Y” at the end of a 20-kilometer (about 12½-mile) hike. As we approached the area, all of the children came out to greet us. It was a great reunion and great to see everyone again.
On our hike in, we met many people along the way who spoke with &ldq...

We are focused again on why we are here. Jesus sent us. We are of One accord. Everybody is doing really well.
When we saw our friend ...
