What a day we had! First off, we worshipped at our host church this morning, and it could not have been more wonderful! They were so hospitable and made us feel so included...from including us in their weekly newsletter, to announcing us at the beginning of the service, to including us in the prayers, we felt very at home with the people who have let us into their church home for this week. Also, Pastor Mike's sermon was SPOT ON for us as we get ready to head into a week of service for the Seattle area. Having just returned from a family trip to Africa, he reflected on how even though the people they encountered over there may have been poor from our standards, they were incredibly rich spiritually. He talked about how this is how we should live our lives...nurturing our spiritual lives to the fullest. It was beautiful to hear his passion from the experiences he had.
Then it was off to the downtown Seattle area! Pike Place Market (can you say flying fish?), waterfront piers, the Cascades off in the distance, the original Starbucks store, and plenty of shopping. What a fun rest of the day! It was so great to really feel like we were finally HERE...in Seattle!!!
Tomorrow it's down to the Union Gospel Mission. Can't wait to tell you all about it...
