Quiet Sunday
Spending a quiet day today, waiting for new participants to arrive. We help them to their rooms with their luggage, then a quick tour of the facility. Most have already checked the place out via the website, so it is a refresher for the majority of them.
A while back, I was mentioning about two fellows here from Russia. This picture is of one of them, and he is originally from Camaroon in Africa. He has been in Moscow for eight years planting a new church. Imagine an African country, with their resources, planting churches in Russia. Makes our mission activities look kind of inadequate for some reason. Now I know I said he was a Eddie Murphy lookalike, but you have to admit, there are some similarities?? He is a real nice fellow and I befriended him when I got him an adapter for use with his computer.
We went to another new church today - that's five different churches in five weeks. There was an excellent Pastor but the music was not my type. Also there was applause after every song, announcement and even the message.
These other pictures are from our tour yesterday. The tree is called a "bugle" tree.
