Sightseeing

Monday, April 10,  we got to go to see some sights!  We chose the Tower of London in the morning. On our way to the Tower, Richard and I found 2 Thais who had come to London on vacation. When speaking to them it was quite a shock. They did not expect westerners in the middle of London to be able to communicate with them in Thai.  After a brief conversation, we gave them Thai Christian literature. 

At the Tower, we had a lively tour guide who helped to make the place come alive. Afterwards, the guys on the team split with the girls and went to see the armory. Meanwhile, the girls went to view the crown jewels of Queen Elizabeth. 

After lunch we went to see the British Library and then the British Museum.  WOW! It's a great place with so many things to see from around the world.  Impossible to see everything in one day.

We are so grateful that each of you prayed for us.  We ended up working with 2 local pastors and 4 IMB missionaries. It was an experience of diversity in 3 different areas of London.  It made us appreciate the work of missionaries in this atheistic city and to understand a little better just how hard it is to reach the people of London with the salvation message of Jesus. Only 1% of the population claim to be believers.

We will sleep for about 5 hours and get up to start our journey back to the USA.  Please pray for our safety in travel,  and not to have any problems.
