Day 14: I feel bad that today wasn't so exciting... we started out with service, our "territory" is there on the upper left. Roaming the streets of Lisbon, Audry and I managed to get lost but it was so much fun! We didn't find many people who spoke English, but I did meet a brother on the bus as we ventured through town. Our only means of communication were gestures we made from across the aisle, pointing at the literature in our hands and smiling at each other because we couldn't understand what it was the other was speaking. Funny how connected people can be despite a certain lack of communication.
After service and a walk through the park, we all crashed. What was supposed to be girls' night out turned into girls' night in. Hitchcock films, rice pudding, pilates, and scaring each other as we got ready for bed. I think our abs were more sore from the laughter than from our 'walrus on the beach' workout moves. It was a fun day- low key, but nice to relax. Hopefully we are all ready for tomorrow... day 15- ministry until we go to meeting at 6. Something good is bound to happen.
 
Today's positives:
Got to explore the city with Audry
Went for a wonderful walk in the park
Didn't have to deal with Valentine's in the city tonight
Enjoyed time with my friends
Turned a creepy movie into a comedy so we will all be able to sleep tonight.... so ready for bed
 
Oh yeah! Almost forgot to mention we start a new type of preaching work tomorrow!!!
 Stay tuned

  1. Wow you keep finding witnesses everywhere!! Haha I had a similar experience in Vietnam... I met Koreans, French, Czechoslovakians, etc. who's foreign first language wasn't English, so we communicated in Vietnamese. Even though our communication was limited, we knew we were bros so we tried so hard hahaha
