Beebop and Special K get married! Macedonia/Greece/London
The follwoing monday we headed out for our honeymoon to Europe! We flew into Macedonia for a day and hung out with some of my relatives out there (my dad is from Macedonia)and then took a train to thessaloniki (yes, modern day thessalonica, where the apostle Paul went!). It was awesome, we were blessed to have a hotel over looking the agean sea. We walked around the city and ate real greek Gyros. We had some really cool opportunities to witness to people in greece. While Krista and I were down in Greece we read through 1 Thessalonians and just imagined Paul walking the streets and witnessing and causing uproars in the synagogues for the sake of Christ (Acts 17). It was Easter weekend there and obviously Greek Orthodox is the major religion so we were able to get into witnessing convo's with a taxi driver, our front desk receptionist, a teenager on the streets who saw me breakn and a British man next door to us on the hotel. Praise God! "For our gospel did not come to you in word only but also in power, in the Holy Spirit, and with full conviction..." 1 Thess. 1:5 Then we went to Macedonia and stayed in the village where my dad grew up called Capari. It was awesome! It is an old, poor village that has about 400 people living in it. Beautiful scenery which had awesome mountains, forests, and cold rivers running through it.The Lord's creation is aweomse! My family really spoiled us with great food and taking us around the city. On our way home Krista and I had a 12 hour layover in London and we took a train to the picadilly circus and took a cool tour of the city. Krista and I had a blast and the Lord really gave us a great time!
