Manchester

The day started with a greaetbreakfast art walnut hill church in Bethel, ct. A bunch of people came out to see us off, and while we were fixing up our bikes, one little kid came up with his bike and so we helped him pump up his tires anid greased up his chain. He ended up donating one dollar to she's my sister!!!

So we took off and headed out to Manchester. It was a 50 mile ride, so not a huge deal. Anyway, Lewis and Shannon ended up getting a little lost and wound up somehow way ahead of the group who had stopped for a lunch break. So they stopped and asked a restaurant for some wter. When the waitress found out what they were riding for, she gave them free chili and salad because she was so excited about it. Shannon and lewis left a note for her thanking her and directing her to Matthew 25:40 which says "whatever you do for the least of these you do for me." our prayer is that she is really moved by the stories of our sisters in the Congo and will act on their behalf. Her name was Kate and she was from Germany. The others ended up running into lieutenant Mike asking for directions. When they told mike about she's my sister he said that he didn't belileve in god. So we prayed for him tonight that god might reveal himself to him.

We arrived at a home for abused children and we got to sound some good quality time hanging out with and lovin on some kids. They were all mostly high school Agee, but they were a lot of fun to be around. We played basketball with them, and marks team won every single game. Lewis apnd Andy tried eve real times to beate them but they soon realized how bad they were at basketball, althouh Andy is better than leiwe.

The least of these journey today was on peace. This is a big topic because in the Congo people don't even know what peace looks like. They have lived their entire lives in the midst of conflict. So we realize how blessed we are to be living in peace at least in our own country. Keep praying for peace in the Congo!
