Back Home!

Well, our Spain-Italy vacation has come to an end, and we're now faced with the cruel reality of jetlag and work. Our second week of vacation was spent in Spain, and though we were a bit hampered by some sort of virus, we didn't let it keep us from enjoying Spain and seeing some sites. We went into Madrid a couple times, with the picture above being taken in El Retiro, Madrid's equivalent of New York's Central Park. We visited Chinchon, a quaint little Spanish town outside of Madrid, as well as Alcala, the birthplace of Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, the author of Don Quixote. It was a great way to enjoy our vacation, but the reality that we will be living there in the next year and a half or so really began to sink in. We took some footage hopefully that will result in a promotional video for our support raising, and we were also able to speak with the ECMI field director of Spain, Francis Arjona, who was very encouraging towards us. So, in a way, Spain lost a bit of its fun vacation glimmer for us, since we are already beginning the transition of making it our home.

So, those of you who read this, please pray for us. We are now beginning the process of becoming missionaries to Spain, and while we know it is God's leading, all the details of what needs to happen can be a bit daunting. We are beginning to raise a team of supporters to undergird us with prayer, encouragement, and finances as we step into this next chapter of our lives. We're thrilled about what God's doing, and we're trusting Him all the way here. Good night, and may God be with you.
