Spain Update #4
It’s amazing how quickly the summer has gone by. The first few days after our arrival in Madrid,we helped out at a seniors home. We worked in the kitchen serving and feeding the seniors their meals as well as cleaned up outside. We enjoyed time with the seniors, making crafts, taking walks in the garden and just talking with them. Though it was difficult for some of us to understand with the language barrier, they seemed to be content just to have us listen quietly. We played a brass concert, which they seemed to really enjoy, and some of us even danced with some of the more energetic seniors.
Once again we held a Vacation Bible School program. Only this time, we held VBS outside at a park, and it was our job to get local kids playing at the park to come over and join us. The Lord once again provided kids for us, and they listened intently as we shared the gospel story with them. We also have done a few days of street evangelism, handing out flyers for VBS and invitations to church. Unlike Mallorca, whose beaches consisted of mostly tourists, most people at least took the papers if not stopping to talk with us.
Tomorrow we leave early for the Canary Islands. Please continue to keep us in your prayers with regards to safe traveling and that the Lord would challenge us in these last weeks of our trip.
