Spain Update #6
Hello for the last time from Spain!
We begin our trip home tomorrow morning and will travel over 24 hours but arrive on the same day. We finished our VBS and youth bible camp today. We were asked to throw a fiesta for the kids so after the final bible lessons on the armor of God we divided the group into 4 armies, gave them war markings on their faces, and proceeded to have the greatest Spanish water fight in Spain´s history. Had we been here a couple hundred years ago, the Spanish Armada way have won the Spanish American war, but alas we were not.
The past couple of evenings we have gone into the streets and beach fronts to get into conversations with locals and tourists about the Gospel and The Salvation Army. It was challenging to get out of our comforts zones and approach people with the Gospel but we did not have a spirit of timidity.
We have enjoyed our time in Spain and could not stop laughing last night over dinner as we recalled how the Lord has blessed us beyond belief. We cannot wait to tell you all about the Lord´s work here in Spain and in our lives. Please do not hesitate to ask specific questions about Spain or ones that require long answers. To our friends and family, teammates at home and abroad, and home corps, we have been praying for you and are excited to hear all God has done this summer where ever you have been.
We will hopefully see you at 6:35pm Central Standard Time, at O´Hare Airport.A Dios y adios,
Nate and Team Spain
