Asia Traveling take II

John and the Sylvesters about to enter the Blue Mosque. A picture of the Turkey flag. 
John and I about to enter the Mosque and he's trying to warm up his nose...
John loved playing with the kiddos, this is Naomi and I think we are at a restaurant.
Johnny and I on the ferry boat. It snowed and rained several days we were there.
Brrrrr. 
Our hotel view was awesome.

The marriage seminar was a great success. There was time for fellowship and intentional couple time.
John cared for the older three brothers of one of the workers. John taught them new card games, and enjoy the Word together. Julie W, myself, and the Sylvesters took turns watching the little ones and also had times to sit in on the marriage retreat sessions. The hotel/cabin we stayed at was on the border beach area and although it was windy we enjoyed God's creation.

We glanced at the life of the H's and it's not an easy task. They are in language studies for at least 15 hours a week. It has been a blessing to be around their family and see how one functions in a big city. They share a van with another worker one week at a time. Otherwise the bus is another option, or walking. Kindra does the grocery shopping at bazaars/markets and serves her husband by watching and teaching their children at home while learning the language too.

The H. family took us to some ancient caves near the Tigris River.

Kenny's Turkish is great so far. Just wait 'til another visit.


Everyone enjoying the view!
Then we had coffee on a deck with another amazing view of the river.
