We attended a small Methodist church this morning, along with about 35 other worshipers. It was good to become more aware of the fact that churches all over the world gather to give worship to the Lord each Sabbath. Afterwards we spent the afternoon relaxing and getting to know the area a bit. We enjoyed the peace and quiet of having the entire building to ourselves, while also looking forward to the arrival of the dental students and Dr. Carney later that evening.

That evening fourteen students arrived along with Dr. Carney, and we spent the evening settling in and eagerly anticipating what would await us in the coming week. Five students were due to arrive later in the week. Two of the nineteen, Zach and Jessica, had served the previous year; the other 17 came because of what they had heard from previous attendees.

Each morning this week we will be starting the day with 20 minutes or so of devotions. An outline of the topics we cover are included as a part of this journal.
