A trip to DC

We all rode a bus up to Washinton DC one day to have some "cultural experiences" and to have a chance to witness to internationals. It was a family affair, and the kids did GREAT!

The kids with the reflecting pool, the WWII memorial, and the Lincoln Memorial in the background. We didn't actually get to go see all these things up close (the purpose of the trip was not sightseeing, and we had other things we needed to accomplish), but we did get to see them from a distance anyway. The Washington monument.
We got to ride the subway all over the city. It was quite an adventure with 3 little ones, but we are going to have many such adventures all over the world with our 3 little ones. This time we had the huge help of a quadmate, Eileen. She is Filipino-American and headed to Japan as a missionary; she was on our DC team, and we had a great time together.Ben fell asleep in the carrier just before lunch so Steve just took it off, and Ben napped while we ate. We actually met a man named Nick for lunch. We had connected with him through a Filipinos in DC website, and he agreed to have lunch with us. He grew up in the Philippines, and we met a Filipino restaurant - it was excellent food! The best part though was the chance that we had to share with him the Gospel message. He listened carefully and said that we had given him lots to think about. Please pray for Nick - that God would convict his heart of his sin and need for a Savior.
