Day 5 of Mission: Armenia 2016
Today we visited families with very sad stories and troubling circumstances. All the people I have met are loving, kind and giving. They’re always so generous even though they themselves don’t have very much.

Today we visited different areas of Armenia, though there are beautiful parts of Armenia I was saddened to see that there are even more areas filled with poverty and destruction.
Day 3 was spent visiting families and their friends. Everywhere we visit the people are always so warm and welcoming and very eager to learn. We have many more visits scheduled for the upcoming days.
We started Day 2 by reading 2 Corinthians Chapter 2, which we all agreed was the perfect start to our trip.
We went walking around the area where we are staying and I couldn’t help but notice many elderly women begging for money or trying to sell flowers or fruits from their garden so they could try to raise any sort of money. These women do not have food, family or a place to stay. Many times the families of these women leave Armenia to start new lives in other countries often leaving elderly behind .
Our first day traveling to Armenia! We traveled around 15 hours, from Montreal to Paris, then Paris to Armenia arriving in Yerevan 8:00pm local time.
Our friend Susanna likes Pastor Joseph’s book “God’s Workshop” in Armenian so much that she has created a Facebook group where she will be posting chapters from the book on a regular basis. If you read and understand Eastern Armenian and would like to see these posts, we invite you to join this group… and share your comments on the devotionals!
