Travels and First Impressions

All right, we are finally here. We arrived Thursday morning around 7 in the morning North African time. It has been a fun first 2 days but traveling for almost four sitting in airports, on planes, and on trains was quite an ordeal to say the least but we are here. I will say more later but I am pretty tired and need to get some rest so this will be just a quick post. We got to see a little bit of the city today so that was pretty cool. There are some guys our age that live here that we have been spending time with and hanging out with and they are very cool and a lot of fun. We did go to the beach today which was a lot of fun. I ended up jumping in a soccer game down at the beach while we were there and it was a blast. I played for about an hour maybe more. One of the guys spoke a little English so that helped but most of the time I had no idea what they were saying. Although, there are certain things related to sports that cross all language barriers. It is an incredible way to meet new people. Athletics can break down a lot of barriers and build relationships that may not ever take place otherwise. I hope and prayer that some solid contacts will come from playing soccer on the beach in the evenings. We serve an amazing God. I hope and pray that His name will be glorified over the next six weeks. Pray for us tomorrow as we will be riding buses most of the day trying to establish contacts and share the truth with people.
