Did You Know That It Rains In Portland?

We have discovered that this is true. It was never heavy rain, but rather a constant watery presence. We spent most of our day outside. We went on prayer walks, which are essentially a guided tour of the city with instructions on how to pray at each place.

Then we went to an amazing exhibit designed to shed light on how many people live, primarily after natural disasters. The goal of this time was to increase our sensitivity to people's needs, a valuable lesson for the week.

Tonight we will be outside again. We are breaking into groups and walking around with hot chocolate; we are going to use it to make friends with local homeless and start conversation with them.

Hard to believe that our week is pretty much half over!

Please pray that we continue to have good spirits; wet weather can be discouraging. So far we've handled it well, and I hope that continues!
