We Made it to Madrid!

What an awesome 12 days we spent in Fuengirola! The Holy Spirit was mightily at work and many people including myself were blown away by the work that was being accomplished in the south of Spain. It was simply amazing to see how the Lord worked and it was truly hard and difficult to say goodbye, but here we are in Madrid! Since you guys haven´t heard from us in a few days, let me give you a quick recap of what happened the final few days of the campaign. Tuesday was the final of the basketball tournament and the final mime performance (which was done by a Spanish group from Malaga) as well as our first trip to a restaurant (Chinese buffet) in Spain!! Wednesday was one of the more relaxed days of the entire trip, as we studied God´s Word in the morning and had our goodbye fiesta party that night. Thursday was one of the toughest days of our trip as we had to say goodbye to all of our friends and hop on a train to Madrid. Last night (when we arrived in Madrid) we had pizza and worshipped the Lord together. Today, we have been shopping and are planning on meeting some of our Spanish friends for dinner here in Madrid. Tomorrow, we will be with the Davis family most of the day enjoying fellowship with them and celebrating an incredible trip to Spain. Thanks so much for your prayers and support and we look forward to seeing you all Sunday evening!!

P.S. Just some arrival information for everyone on Sunday...our flight is supposed to leave here from the Madrid airport at approximately 12,20pm and arrive in Chicago at approximately 2,20pm. Upon arrival to Chicago, we will alert all of the families as to when exactly we will be getting home. Following customs and all of the other airport business, if everything is timely and effecient, we should be back to church somewhere between 5pm and 5,30pm...but we will let you guys know anyway...see you guys then!

  2. Please pass on to Kevin that Ed Bouvier will meet you inside the international terminal on arrival. He will be parking the STARS bus in the terminal parking lot. He might have a cell phone but not sure. He has Kevin's and Lindsay's cell phone numbers with him, but assume he has no cell phone. Thanks. See you Sunday.
