Day 2

Last night we all grabbed dinner and brought it up to our suite. We have an amazing view and plenty of room for everyone. Our team is so large that every day we break into smaller groups, so it's a little more manageable to go out into the city. We went to 'treasure hunt' the Kornesh(spelling is obviously wrong) with the Caldwell's and Tyler. After waiting on the Lord in our room we left with a few different clues. As we got to the bottom of our hotel, Drew stopped Brian and I and told us that Port had grabbed Tyler and said, "Let's go pray for people!" Then he went and found a group of men on the corner of our street. Tyler went with him and asked if they could pray for them. They went and got another man and then let Port pray for them. When they were done they were super impacted!
As we got to the Kornesh we started looking for clues. Haynes all day had been looking for a blue shirt. We see a man in blue shorts and shirt, so Haynes took Brian with him to pray for the man. Brian and Drew start talking to him (Haynes is irritated that the rest of us have continued walking) After a few minutes of somewhat awkward conversation Haynes walks straight up to the man and grabs his hand. Haynes immediantely starts praying for him starting with 'Jesus..." The atmosphere completely changed and the man was super soft towards them. The fun part is that before we left Brooke felt like the Lord said our kids would break down walls by just declaring the name Jesus!
Mary and I got to pray for a believer who felt lonely and needed encouragement. Best of all we ended the night with yummy gelato! This might have been why we didn't sleep much...Boys were much more entertained by the cars honking last night:-) Ella just wanted to be up all night, so we are believing for more sleep for tomorrow because our kids need it!
