Inshallah

Today I returned from my 3 day trip to Morocco. It was fantastic to be quite honest. I really did feel so blessed to be a part of the work that is going on there.

On Monday we flew to Tanger (we being Richard, Caleb and Hilary, Kelly and me) and met with Clyde, a missionary working and living in Morocco. We were cooked an amazing lunch, all sharing from the same big plate in the middle in true moroccan style and then we went exploring around the markets where I haggled a fez down from 20 euros to 1. Bargain. We met Joy, an amazing Moroccan lady who works within many organizations, hospitals, churches, orphanages and underground safe houses. She was an inspiration. She actually cooked us dinner and let us stay in her house.

Yesterday, Tuesday...I woke up early (thanks to the time change) and sat out in the beautiful african dawn and enjoyed the sound of the birds, the scooters and the bustling city (it reminded me so much of India). We drank some delicious mint tea (SO much sugar) and then we went with Joy to the Créche which is one of the orphanages which Mountainview supports with clothing, money and of course prayer. I fell in love with one little boy called Moetaz. We heard a lot about the work going on there and how we can best help them.
Then we went for a camel ride! It was fantastic. We had some delicious Cous Cous for lunch. In the evening we led the service at a small church plant in Tanger where we brought the music and preach. It was a real blessing to be part of the service.

Those were the highlights really. I got back today and I already miss the bustle and sounds of the city. I loved hearing the muslim call to prayer, seeing the city spread out across the valley and almost falling into the sea. And the colour and business of the markets.

There's a lot more to tell, but not here and not now.
