Viking Day!

Yesterday we went to a Viking festival. It was a really fun time. We were there for a majority of the afternoon and got to do a lot of things including archery! They acted out a viking raid on the village and had authentic clothing on and out for display. I enjoyed it.

Today we went to a church about 30 minutes from where we're staying at the Murlough House. It is going to be our "home church". Haden Wilson pastored the church for many years. After church our team was divided into 8 groups with two people each and then paired up with a host family. The host families will provide Sunday lunch for their assigned students as well as a 'get away'. It will be nice to form relationships with residents of the area. It's about 5:30 here now and we just got back from Haden's house. They had the whole team over for lunch! Betty (his wife) cooked for everyone. It was really sweet.

I need to do my homework now, but will post again soon. I included pictures from the Viking Festival.

Love,

Kaitlyn
