pt 2 of... alot

The majority of this trip was educational. They wanted to fill us in on the trafficking problem and what they are doing to stop it. I will go into more detail about what we learned on another day. It's still hard to talk about. Especially after seeing the faces of some of the rescued girls and hearing the horrific stories. However on one day we did do an outreach to the cab drivers in the city. We broke up into about 15 groups of 4 and hit every major cab stand in the city. We handed out fliers and keychains with the hotline phone number on it. They were very receptive, for the most part, and confessed to seeing stuff that should be reported.

Cindy and I. We had duct tape to represent the girls without a voice

I also got to plaster the city with as many bumper stickers as possible. That was fun

our shirts said - be her freedom, with the hotline number on the back

I'm sorry, I have been home since Tuesday night, but haven't posted yet. It was a really good trip and I do have pictures, but I also brought home a nasty bug.  Been feeling horrible and have had bad jet lag this time around.
Should get to it tomorrow.

Busy weekend. Friday was the funeral and burial for Josh French. My beautiful friend Joy actually got up and spoke about her son with amazing composure, peace and beauty. I was overwhelmed with awe. God's presence in her life is oh so evident. My heart broke for his young widow, however. She sat in a trance like state at the graveside. I can't even imagine what that precious young woman is going through. Please continue to lift them all up in prayer for peace, and some joy to be inserted somewhere in the midst of this tragedy.
*Jordan came home for Easter, as did Michael. It was great having them home again.
*I just got packed up for Greece. We leave in the morning. Last night we ordered Chinese because we were all too wiped out after the multiple services to cook. This was in my fortune cookie..

It made me smile, so I taped it into my travel journal/scrapbook.
I am incredibly grateful for this trip. It is a really big monumental deal to me. It's been 4 years since I've been "out there" involved in missions and my time has finally come. I appreciate my church for giving me this incredible opportunity.
Don't EVER tell me that God is not into restoration.
