A group of 12 adults arrived this morning red-eyed and delirious from an all-night flight to spend the next 9 days serving Eikon.
What a group, instantly felt connected to many of them. Bill, the associate pastor is a gem, so kind-hearted and continually reminding us they are here to serve.

I love being around people who haven't been overseas, particularly Europe. We got on the bus and one of the guys began shooting video of the fields and hills. They were beautiful, but he had no idea what he was in for when the bus drove by the castle. Kids in a candy store. It's a reminder of what our daily environment is around here.

Spent the evening talking about Eikon, Tony and Yvonne's story, and how we arrived to this point. Great evening of sharing and encouraging them to not just work hard, but step back, take it easy sometimes and just soak in the culture and setting.

Look forward to tomorrow morning in our gathering and then an afternoon of touring the city.

night.
