Kalimara (Good morning)!
Today we ventured into Alexandropoli delivering Bibles to the whole city.  Some of us were in the heart of the city while others entered into the Gypsy villages in the outskirts.  Quite the disparity in housing situations and amount of Bibles needed.  In the centre of the city there are large apartment buildings, some which take up to 30 Bibles each! In the Gypsy villages we had people all around, and sometimes children hanging off our door handles.  Despite being slightly intimidating with the amount of people surrounding our car, it was refreshing to see the receptivity of the Gypsy people.  Today is only a half day of distributing as everyone is to be back shortly to have church service and then free time.  The weather the last two days has been around and over the 40 degree mark and not cooling as much at night so some of us have been fighting off exhaustion.  However its been a blessing that different people have been struggling on different days.  Because of all the people that have come to Operation Joshua this year, we are down to the last of the Bibles so we may be done distributing early and have some time to rest before we head back to Athens.  Pray for continued unity and strength for the team and continued health.  We have been blessed so far to have good health which we thank God for.  Thank you for your prayers and support:)
