We took a much needed nap after 30 hours of travelling then freshened up in cold water as there was no hot water ( we later found out that the hot water was off for the whole month of May). We decided to venture out to the money exchange and to find a restaurant for dinner. It was obvious that we were foreigners so we were so encouraged when a person in the line spoke English and told us what the exchange rate was and how much fee we should be paying. God always takes care of the details when we trust ourselves into His care. So with our wallet full of som we looked for a restaurant full of locals (food must be ok if the local people eat there) we found a likely place and sat down to be greeted with an unintelligible menu totally in Russian. Kevin looked at me and I at him then we looked around to see what others were eating and directed the waitress to the plates on the next table and ordered the same as them. I must admit I was a bit concerned but needn’t have been because the meal, a meat stew with rice, was delicious.
Our first day in Bishkek was over and God’s grace had certainly helped us but I would never have experienced His grace if I had stayed at home. As we step out in faith God comes through for us.
