W[h]ales, Turkey[s], and Scotch

I cannot even begin to describe what the last month has been like.  In even the last two weeks I've been to Llanelli, Wales, Istanbul, Turkey, and near Paisly, Scotland. Time moves so quickly, it feels like a blur.  I've lost track of the days and being so far north makes it hard to really feel what time it is.  I really understand why different outreaches and missionaries do not update as frequently.  With so much happening in a day it's hard to share everything that has progressed since the beginning.

Wales:
Carningli, Hill of angels
Mathew and I stayed with at a friends house while she stayed with some friends down the road. Her name is Penny.  She drove us around to different ministries where Mathew shared some stories and the word of the Lord.  We had wonderful time meeting different people ranging from a group of catholic women and nuns to youth groups.

Turkey:
Ministering to missionary kids
In Turkey, we attended an intercession conference for Turkey held by Koreans, English-speakers and Turkish people.  In four days we managed to share and impact every group of people that attended the conference.  Most of the people at the conference were missionaries in Turkey or were people planning to be long-term there.  We even had the chance to minister to the youth that came because of their parents.

Scotland:
Glasgow city centre
I'm currently in Scotland with Mathew and our time is coming to an end.  I can't believe that five weeks have already passed by.  We stayed with some friends of Mathew's near Glasgow.  We spent a lot of time visiting different areas of Scotland.  We went to Dunadd, Edinburgh, and even the Isle of Arran.  We went around to different historic sites and also we spent time resting.

This very, very brief account does not do the time we spent in the UK and Turkey any justice but for now it will have to do.  Hopefully, I'll be able to share more in-depth the things that took place over the last five weeks.
