Last Days in Morocco July 26, 2008

We were without internet for the last week of the trip, so I will try to summarize everything.
The Last Few Days in the City…
…were completly unproductive.  I was sick so Maria followed up on all of our contacts and said good-bye.  I did get to experience a third-world country doctor visit though.  That memory is definitly etched [...]

Offending People with words…
I have been so careful not to offend people on this trip by not eating enough or making an offensive facial expression at someone, but today I learned that it is just as important not to offend someone in their native tongue just because you don’t know it so well. The [...]

The beach and tajine…
We went to the beach today with some friends.  I have never been to the beach so many times in my life in such a short time!  When our friends got out of the taxi and opened the truck, inside was seriously the entire kitchen.  They made us tea and fish tajine [...]

Errands…

It is late and I am sure that there are probably more, but here are two components you could say of mission work from [...]

Lunch with Miriam2…Today we went to meet Miriam2 for the third time.  Maria and I prayed before we went, but I honestly doubted she would come.  We were almost ready to give up after a while of waiting but then she showed up!  We walked to get ice cream and she ran into a friend [...]

Lunch with friends…Today we ate lunch with the family that we met yesterday.  Maria and I were getting pretty frustrated because it took us two hours, 30 dirham and a trip back to the house from the Medina to get in touch with this family.  It looked like we were going to be stood up [...]

More on Third World Time and confusion
Maria and I were supposed to get together with Miriam2 again tonight.  This is the girl from last Monday’s post.  She was at the beach and was going to call at 7:30.  Well, 7:30 and no call.  Maria and I prayed and prayed for her and 8:00 rolled [...]

Third World Time
Third world time is definitely different than time in the states.  We were supposed to meet Miriam2 last night at 5.  After waiting ten minutes outside the apartment we went back and called her and she said she needed twenty more minutes.  Well, before it was over we had waited well over an [...]

Overlooking the City
This morning we went to the caves somewhere nearby. Then we went to look over the city and to pray for it. The city has well over a million people in it and three know works going on, I believe. At least 95 percent have never heard a clear presentation of Christ. As [...]
