Thank you all for your prayers and love. We had a lovely time while in Ephesus and are having a amazing time in the language program. It was neat to walk where Paul had once lived, worked, and sent a letter to the church there! While among the ruins, we read the Letter to the Ephesians together. I hope to send a real update soon for you all. In short, Jesus has been bringing us neat, encouraging relationships within and outside of our program.
Also, guess what?!!? We have the awesome opportunity to hang out with our fellow InterVarsity friends tomorrow. The IV team from Antalya is spending a day in the old part (Sultanahmet) of Istanbul before they head back to the States. We will get to see great sites such as the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque with them. The three of us cannot wait to be reunited with the team, which includes favorites such as Theo Davis, Seth "my brother" Knox, and Erin Brankel!!! We anticipating tomorrow to be a sweet, encouraging reunion...Our God is Good!
The Three Turkeys in front of the Celsus Library in Efes.We love you all so much! Can you believe that we have been here for almost 5 weeks? Only three to go until we see your beautiful faces again. Know that our God is good and is upholding us in his righteous hand. Do not fear, for He is with us. And He is with You. He will help and strengthen us for He is a gracious and loving God.
In His Hands,
Anneliese

SO jealous you gals were in Ephesus! Love the history there.
We were away for a few days and delighted to return to find your entry Anneliese. We will call your folks about the password for viewing the pictures. I know your time with your brother and friends has been (and no doubt still going on)is/was wonderful. Miss you so much but so aware of God's hand on you and Jessica and Chelsea...I think this is another of many adventures ahead where you will come away knowing that you will "never be the same" because of what you allowed God to do in your life/s. I love you and miss you...Mims
