Hung
out with one of our Canadian friends here in Selcuk. She’s the children’s worker at the local church. She’s only here short term. It’s been fun getting to know her. We went out for lunch. Talked to an older lady that sat next
to us at a neighboring lunch table.
She wore leather boots, bright red lipstick, and a funky leather
jacket. She had the craziest
orangy-red hair. Told us she had
just finished reading Mandela and Gandhi’s biographies. Said something about how they’ve both
deeply beneficially influenced humanity and our collective consciousness –
something along those lines. She’s
traveled nearly everywhere. Said
the only place she hasn’t been is Australia. She’s certainly a ‘free spirit’ – whatever that means.
Took
a stroll around the corner to the ruins of the Temple of Artemis. Basically it’s just a pile of
rubble. Saw tons of turtles
basking on rocks and swimming around leisurely in a pond next to the temple. Saw a few gorgeous peacocks strutting
their stuff in a fenced-off enclosure near the pond.
In
the evening we joined the Canadian pastor and his wife for dinner at their
place. We had great conversations
and prayed together before we left.
They’ve been such a big blessing during our time here in Selcuk, and the
work they do here in Turkey is spectacular. People are meeting Jesus. Lives are being changed. Awesome!
