We left early on Sunday for a worship experience at Queen's Park Baptist. It was a promotional service for all the children and that was fun for us to see. I met a minister from Uganda who invited me to bring a team to work with him and the children's ministry he has there. We'll just have to see about that!
After church we headed to Edinburgh for a day of site-seeing. We stormed the Edinburgh Castle and then had a chat with John Knox, did a bit of shopping on the Royal Mile. We then traveled quite a distance to St. Andrew's. Chris and Aryn enjoyed the course, while the rest of us took to the beach. Can we say freezing?! It was like winter! But we enjoyed ourselves...it was fun to see Jana enjoy the ocean for the first time:)
Kristi's maiden name is Dunning, so we Bev decided we should go back through Dunning, despite that it was out of the way and already 9pm (it is still light outside). Well, the road to Dunning turned out to be a one lane road like none other. Wow, the twists and turns we experienced were amazing. The scenery and landscape were absolutely breathtaking, we did come over a hill straight on with another car cresting at the same time. We narrowly missed an accident, there was much screaming in the white whale (as we call the 12 passenger van). Bev tends to drive a bit fast and we hadn't seen any cars for miles and miles. It will be better when I tell it at home:)
We arrived back at the base by midnight to a fresh pot of stew, which we were very grateful for!
Travis and I are teaching today, we have concluded the first session already this morning.
The rest of the team has finished painting the walls and will finish the ceiling after lunch. We need a bit of prayer in trying to figure out how to hang the curtains...
Blessings to all of you, we have recognized God's hand and provision all through the trip. We continue to experience great unity and smoothness in every work.
Pray for Aryn. The Lord told me that she was to teach the older kids at the King's Kid's Club tomorrow. All the boys have been kicked out, so it is just girls and she stepped up to teach the lesson without hesitation! It will be at 5pm on Tuesday, which is 11Am Tuesday for you guys.
For Christ and for you,
Amy

We will be praying for Aryn!
Sorry about the weather--wish it were warmer for you.
Uganda? will be interesting to see how God works!
Will continue to pray for your teaching times.
Thanks for the pics! They mean so much.
May He continue to use you all, His vessels pouring out His love to those you meet.
Love to you all, Mom and Dad
Will be praying for your safe travel tomorrow.
How quickly time flies!
May you have good sleep tonight.
Love you guys,
Mom and Dad
I am so sure Aryn did well. While I was praying for her (at 11:00 a.m. our time) I had a vision of Aryn dressed as a warrior princess. You fight that battle and win mighty princess! Strength and wisdom kept coming forth as how I was supposed to pray. I know she rocked!
We look forward to seeing you tomorrow, but know this is too soon for you to be leaving. It sounds as if you have worked so hard and completed the tasks for which you were sent! Praise God!
We love you,
The Dyes
PS - - I have your flight numbers that Brian gave me. Let me know if you have changed these since. We will be tracking you and awaiting your arrival ON TIME!!
Amy, Travis, and C.J.,
I will pray for a restful and safe flight for you all.
I loved watching the video and seeing the pictures on your blog.
Can't wait to hear about how God showed up in Scotland!
Blessings to you and all that you do,
Billie
