Thank you to those of you who prayed for me and for GO Sunday! I think it was a really good event! Now we just need to maintain the momentum we gained yesterday; we don't want missions to be pushed to the back of our church's mind.
It was a good Sunday! It was a little stressful when one missionary family overslept their alarm and showed up late to set-up; when our pastor rushed by us saying "Compress! Compress! Compress!" right before we were going to speak a second time; and when the congregation failed to understand Rachel when she said, "greet one another" (they sat and stared at us...awkward!). Oh dear! We'll just look back and laugh, I guess!
Some people signed up to pray for individual missionaries, and a few of the children's Sunday School classes were taken outside to learn about our missionaries. One of the Sunday School teachers remarked that even she didn't know about all our missionaries. Our newest elder, Nigel, bought Through Gates of Splendor by Elisabeth Elliot for his sixth grade daughter, a book that she asked for; that alone made my day!
Thank you for praying for the weather, too! The wind only started up right before the end of the third service! We are very thankful that God granted us favor with the weather. :)
Now it's Monday, and I'm taking the day off. Time to drink chai, listen to The ABC Murders by Agatha Christie, and later, return some library books and read Through Gates of Splendor myself.
