Sunday, June 7th

Today we attended an English language worship service at the International Church of Villnus. Pastor Lowell Erdhall, a guest pastor for month of June 2009, is from Minnesota. Also at this service were a group of 40 German travelers from Westphalia. Pastor Erdhall conducted an Ecumenical service with an enriching homily about how Christ is present in all our lives. We all then received Communion. After the service we spent some social time with the pastor, his wife, and the visitors from Germany. We then embarked on our 5 hour van ride to Klapadia. We were welcomed by the University President, Dr. David Skeen and his wife, Becky. Eric and Becky H. gave us a tour of the dormitories where we will be staying as well as the University classrooms. Later, President Skeen led a reflective prayer and bible readings. We went to bed looking forward to beginning our mission service in the morning!
