Our Sunday Morning

Sunday morning, we decided to go to a church that we had seen in town. It was called Lighthouse Baptist Church. We did not know what to expect as we walked up the three flights of stairs to the church upstairs. We were greeted by Americans who spoke English which was very refreshing to hear. We enjoyed the message and the ole' hymnal praise and worship. It had been awhile since both of us had been to a Baptist church (since we're both non-denominational). The preacher talked about glorifying God in everything we do, and how we are called to live a life of praise. He reminded us that "whether you eat or drink or whatever you do that you can give glory to God" taken from one of my favorite verses in the Bible(1 Corinthians 10:31). The way the message was preached wasn't necessarily the style Grant and I are used to, however, the potency of the message was definitely conveyed.

After church we met some delightful people who answered many of our daunting questions about where to go for groceries, how to get a transmitter, where to eat, what to eat... The church family invited us to lunch. We ate soft tacos with some Daisy sour cream(which was a treat since they don't sell things like that in SK only on base) and some yummy brownies. I haven't had any chocolate in a few days, so I was definitely missing it and craving it (: Our new friends Dan & Patricia showed us around the square and gave us tips. Dan & Patricia both are military and live at Camp Humphrey. Dan said he has been stationed in at least 3 other countries, not counting SK, and he said that he has never felt safer in another country like he does in SK. We were definitely comforted by his words. However, he did recommend for me to stick close to my husband because of the lack of American women in the area because there are a lot of lonely American soldiers roaming the streets at night.
