First days.

Hi everyone!
I arrived in Reykjavik early yesterday morning. Michelle Mcever's friend Chris picked us up and drove us to the Guest House at the Salvation Army, where I am staying. We took a couple of detours to see a beautiful view of the city, and to watch the sunrise over the Sea.

There are seven people in my DTS. Michelle, Josh, Felecia, Ariel, Kathrin, and Ðorgils, and myself. We already feel pretty close, even though its only the first days.

We happened to arrive during one of Iceland's biggest social unrests. The mortage companies suddenly raised the prices enormously, and are throwing people out of there homes at the beginning of winter. The government here is extremely corrupt and refuse to take any action to help the people. Over 8,000 Icelanders rallied outside parliament, burning the community benches in the yard, banging on oil drums, blowing horns, setting off fireworks. Whenever they see government officials, people throw eggs and glass bottles at them.
It is good we've arrived at this time though. Iceland desires change. Their government and economy have failed them, but we are bringing a new revolution, through Christ.


Besides the protests, Iceland is very peaceful. You can feel the presence of God as soon as you come into Cafe R'ot. Even the kids that come in say that they can´t explain why, but that they feel so loved in Cafe R'ot.

I have gotten to talk to people from all over the world at the Guest House we are staying in. Icelandic, Dutch, Norwegian, German, Greek, French, English. All of us are travellers, with travellers hearts, and all of us living as a community.

Sorry this post is so sparatic, but my mind is all over the place!
I love you all!
Bless.
