Boating on the Bosphorus




We have been continually blessed on this trip and Saturday was yet another example! The entire group was able to go boating on the Bosphorus with some of the people we have met over the week. İt was incredible to see how vast this city really is. We are positive that after we return to a cıty of 3 million people it is going to seem like small town America compared to being in a city with 17 million people!

The hightlight of the boat trip was being able to swim in the Bosphorus for a couple of hours. We jumped into the water from anything we could find (top of the boat side of the boat some random floating thing in the water etc). We competed in swimming races. We are sure Skat started a new trend in denim swimwear (check next month´s GQ for a visual). We were able to see kids we taught one more time. We learned how to belly dance and snap Turkish style. We heard more stories of Hıs faithfulness. And we were able to reflect on all Our Father has done in us and through us during this INCREDIBLE week.

It was an amazing way to end the week here on the Asian side. We look forward to touring the European side during our last two days.
