We did not get to go to the local Christian church today. We have had a pretty full day with the adoption group. I did get to talk about Jesus with one of our guides today. He is a Buddhist. We visited a Buddhist temple today and the group went through a Buddhist blessing. Everyone knelt down with their hands in a praying position while a monk chanted a blessing over them. Our family just watched the procedure and chose not to bow during the ceremony. Maybe we should have just joined in, but I felt we needed to take a stand for Jesus and refuse to bow even in something like this. No one seemed to be offended that we did not participate. After we went to a store where Martin began asking me questions and one thing led to another before I finally found a way to begin talking about what Jesus means to me and how I choose to spend my days serving Him instead of trying to make a lot of money or anything else.
Please pray for us as we continue trying to scatter seed wherever we go. Tonight they are throwing a pizza party for all the adoption families and then we are coming back to our room to (hopefully) Skype with our church back home.
One more week and we will be home! We can’t wait!
