Phil & Rachel's Shenanigans: Uber to New Fellowship

Who knew that we'd all experience Uber for the first time together in a new country?! Uber here is very, very cheap! We will not use it all the time, but we did today to attend our new fellowship. It is far from where we are and we all won't fit in the car with our hosts. So, we ordered an Uber and paid $1.50 for him to drive us 15 minutes to where the fellowship meets. Wow! $1.50! We all five crammed into the car with Phil sitting up front and me and the kids in the back. Seatbelts are optional here. Please know we will wear them when we can and be as safe as we can, but sometimes you all have to cram into a car and make it work. We would have taken the bus, but we don't have a bus card yet and couldn't get one from here. We will get that soon! Some of the buses only take coins, but the bus we needed this morning to get us there uses a bus card that you can only get at certain places.

I did not take any pictures of our fellowship, but it is an international one with people from all nations. It was really beautiful! Kate was super brave and read a verse in the microphone when they asked all the kids to come up front before they left for the children's program. The woman asked for a volunteer and Kate raised her hand. When I told her after how proud I was of her for being so brave, she said, "Well, I really like to read." Well, of course you do! Our kids have been so brave to try so many new things this week. They have (without much complaint) tried new foods, new modes of transportation (We haven't taken the bus yet.), new people, and lots more new things! We all do really miss our friends, but we are so thankful for technology that lets us see friends as much as we want! We went to the fellowship, had lunch at the mall and looked around at a toy store and a grocery store, and hung out around the house until dinner. After dinner was my favorite part. Our hostess suggested we play and sing some of the songs from our home fellowship. It was such a sweet time together. I didn't get any pictures of that, but we hope to do it again soon.
