We’re finally leaving Romania after having been here for two months. It was a lot of fun, God definitely taught me a lot of amazing things, but I am ready for a new place, a new adventure and new culture. We were supposed to be heading to Israel next, but before we head there we’re taking a little detour to Istanbul, Turkey!
I’m so excited to learn about the culture. Central America’s culture was obviously not a shock nor was that of Eastern Europe, so I’m excited to finally be emersed in a culture that I have no clue what to expect.
We’ve been told to ask everyone to refrain from any comments on the blogs, refrain from emails and Facebook messages/comments for the next month and a half that contains any religious talk whatsoever. Turkey and Israel are both closed nations and they are able to track emails, comments, etc that are sent online, therefore ANYTHING containing any religious talk will just have to wait, even the nice little, “We’re praying for you” emails. We can’t have that.
We’re not even able to sign into our World Race blogs for awhile. The main reason we’ve been asked to do this is to protect our contacts. The worst that would happen to us is we would get kicked out of the country (which isn’t not bad) but we mostly want to protect our contacts.
So I’ll be able to fill everyone in on my experiences in Turkey and Israel once i get to Africa. Until then, know that God has been revealing a lot to me, I”m having a lot of fun and am ready to begin an intimate relationship with my Abba.
Please pray for protection, discernment, against spiritual attacks, and that God reveals more to me about who I am as His daughter.
