An awesome start

Hey everybody! I haven´t had a chance to see what other people have written, so sorry if I repeat anything. I tried to write yesterday, but since everything was in spanish, I ended up deleting everything instead of saving it. So here it is today.

Spain has been so much fun so far. We´ve been kept busy getting ready for the festival next week. Here´s what a typical day looks like:

8:00 breakfast
9:00 public service type thing ie. handing out info cards for red cross
12:00 session with big group ... in spanish
2:00 lunch
3:00 to 6:00 siesta, or, free time :D
6:30 minigroups
7:30 training for festival ... again, in spanish
9:30 dinner
10:00 evening activity ie. mime
1:00 lights out

A couple nights ago, we led a game night for everyone. We basically played the games that we thought would be the least awkward... yank em, ninja, and shuffle your buns, of course! Ninja was especially a hit; now there is always someone who is trying to start up a game.

The language barrier has been a challenge. For me it´s been fun trying to talk with people in spanish, and I´ve gotten to know some really sweet girls. However, it´s hard during the sessions because few of us know what´s going on. It can also be discouraging when we´re trying to do street evangelism, not being able to talk with anybody because we feel like we can´t get as involved. We usually end up going off to the side and just praying for people.

Tonight we´re going to perform our mime for the first time. We´ve been practicing so much and we´re all really excited about it. It´s really come together since the first time we practiced it!

Please continue praying for us and the people of Fuengirola. Another group performed a mime last night and it seems that quite a few people were impacted by it. God is definitely working here, and I just hope he continues to use us to bring people to him.
