Loud Americans

Lessons learned in every moment of our lives... during our morning devotional, one of the team members mentioned that we were a bit loud in comparison to the rest of the people eating at breakfast. What an awesome reminder that...well Yes we are loud Americans, but that we are no longer in America. That one comment had a ripple effect on the team because it reminded us that it wasn't just a simple reminder for us to lower our voices, but it was an awesome reminder from God that we need to stop and pay attention to our enviroment.

In the next two weeks of our lives we will be given the amazing opportunity to meet so many different people, from many walks of lives and as a team we need to be aware of what our enviroment is. Not just so we can be respectful to those we are with, but so we can obedientely listening to God and hear how we are supposed to behave so we can possibly plant a seed or even learn something ourselves in that moment.

Prayer request: Dave, Kathy and Jeni will be traveling to Graz with Davi d (Oasis Missionary), and Tom, Sue, Rose and Alex will be heading to church and then a day with Julie and Carol (Oasis Missionaries)... so please pray for safe travel for all of us.
