Well, I guess it is about time I gave a recap from the final week of the trip. It was really good to get to travel and see a lot of the rest of the country in the final week and it definitely had it's positives and negatives. We had some really long traveling days and included in there was an 11 hour train ride and a 9 hour bus ride. What was special about the trip was that we got to see some of the home towns of some of the believers in the church where we were most of the 6 weeks. We stayed at one house a couple of nights and slept on the roof there. It was actually very cool and refreshing sleeping on the roof of the house but we woke up to the hot sun quite early in the morning. While we were in that town we had the opportunity to go out into some mountains and pass out some bibles in some villages. It was really special seeing the response and surprisingly the receptiveness to what we were giving. You are maybe wondering why we didn't get arrested. Well, we were so far from any major town that there was nobody close enough to where we were that could really do anything about it so needless to say we had a lot of liberty in what we could do. Also while we were out in the mountains we took the opportunity to swim in a river there so that was kind of fun. Oh yes, and we showered in the river as well. One final thing to wrap up the trip was pretty special. In the last city that we were in before meeting back up with the rest of the group and flying out, Cole and I had the opportunity to share the gospel with about 3 or 4 guys so Praise the Lord for that. The truth of the gospel was planted in some young adults lives and we were also able to give them a few gospels of John so pray that they will read God's word and be able to see the truth of the gospel through the working of the Holy Spirit. I would like to say thank you to all who gave and prayed for this trip. It was incredible to see how God worked. Continue to pray that the light of the truth will pierce the darkness in North Africa.

Recap of Final Week in North Africa
