London Take 4

My fourth day in the big city has been lovely. We started off the morning by going to Ealing town hall and handing out flyers about the lunchtime talks that the church does. They have tea and coffee (no surprise, they have it every time you turn around) and a short talk from the Bible as an outreach to people who work downtown. Then we headed back to IPC for more transcription work. There is a light at the end of that tunnel! But I've really enjoyed it. Then back to town hall to set up for and listen to the talk. Our missionary mom met us there and we went to Shepherd's Bush, a big international market. 

I had a Palestinian falafel wrap for the first time. This picture is obviously googled, but it was actually really good! The falafel itself is sort of like a hush puppy and the wrap had hummus and chile sauce and lots of unidentified goodies. We walked around for a while. I bought a skirt from a sweet lady and a scarf from a Sikh man. It is amazing how much of a melting pot this city is. 

We then walked over to a huge mall with all the posh stores like Rolex, Prada, Burberry. Mallory took this picture of part of the list because it included Searcys Champagne Bar!
After we got back we went to a house group Bible study. It was on Esther and it was soooo good. The US, UK, Canada, India, Iran, and Bulgaria were represented. I have been so encouraged by the people in this church. Everyone I've met so far is so incredibly Gospel-driven, kingdom-minded and prayerful. What a blessing!
