I've been putting off writing all night and now it's 11:30 and I figured I should at least write something for the night. Siesta lasted over an hour today and a few of us had several chocolate covered espresso beans so I'm awake for the most part.
Amy finished our devotional on the mouth tonight and gave the girls a challenge that my small group at home would be very familiar with: for every bad thing you say to or about someone, you have to give them two compliments. While the girls are typically sweet and aren't too mean to each other (at least that we can understand), they still took the challenge to say some nice things about each other. I really enjoyed Amy leading again because she was intentional about asking the girls questions and they were much more open about answering them.
Karen cooked us a traditional Israeli dinner tonight with cous cous, chicken kababs, moroccan carrots, and more that I can't really remember but it was fun watching the girls try to figure out the different flavors and spices.
Before dinner, a few of us went to a coffee shop in town. We got to try a few baked goods and candy coated espresso beans (the only reason I'm able to really be awake right now) and buy coffee to take back home.
Eric and Kyle also started painting the roof since the rain had finally dried a bit.
This post seems kind of weak and I don't have any crazy stories for you, but I will tell you that our closing team time tonight was great. We got letters from home (thanks Julie!) and talked a little about where we saw God. George put it best when he said with much emotion that it hasn't been so much where we've seen God, but where we have felt his presence. Since there is so much affection to give and recieve, you can definitely feel God's presence just as much as you can see it (if not, more).
Great team, great day...tomorrow we are going to the beach, RAIN OR SHINE!
