Hello friends and family! So sorry for the long delay in my blog update. It has been pretty busy here. As I am writing this I am reminded that I'm just about half way through my first six months in Spain. The time sure is flying by!
Since my first three months are almost up I will be leaving this week, on Wednesday, for Morocco to make a "visa run". I am here on a tourist visa which means I can only be in Europe for three months at a time then I have to leave and get my passport re-stamped. I will be leaving Wednesday morning bright and early for the 7-8 hour bus/ferry trip to Tangier. Once there I will be met at the port by a YWAM worker named Helen and will stay with her until Friday when I begin my journey back to Spain. Please pray for safe travels and for there to be no issues with my passport being re-stamped.
On to what has been going on at home. The triplets are doing great! They continue to be very fun and it has been great watching them grow and become much more verbal. All three of them love to pretend that anything is a guitar or drums. They will grab their prefered instrument and go stand behind a little kitchen they have to play church. They strum their guitars and sing anything from "Jesus Loves Me" to simply Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah. It is very fun and cute to watch! They love being outside and especially love the park that is just across the street from our apartment.
As most of you know from my Facebook I had the opportunity last weekend to spend a few days in Germany. It was a nice little mini vacation and I discovered a new found love for Germany. I was hosted by a wonderful family who are friends of friends and had a great time with them seeing the sites in Heidelberg and Bernkastle-Kues. It is such a huge blessing to be able to see some of Europe while I am here! Now that I have been to Germany I would love to go back at some point for a more extended time frame.
Last month I had the opportunity to join the current YWAM team in training in one of their week long classes. We were blessed with an amazing speaker who clearly loves what he does and truly has a heart for God. The class was called the Father Heart of God, it was a great reminder of who God the Father truly is and His love for us no matter what. The team (3 Americans, 2 Canadians and 1 Dutch) is great and I was so thankful to be welcomed into their group with open arms. It was a heavy week but a great opportunity to be really focused on God.
Lastly, for those of you who do not already know, after much prayer I feel that God is definitely calling me to stay in Spain with the Smith family for a longer time. I will still be coming home in June for the month, as it falls right when I will need another passport stamp. I will spend most of my time in Austin and also make some rounds to see all of my family on the West Coast. I am very much looking forward to the time at home! Once returning to Spain I will stay until atleast sometime in December but again am praying to see where God is leading me with this. Please pray for me to continue to seek God in this decision and also again for my visa coming back into Spain. There is a very small chance that I could get here and be turned right back around. I really do feel that this is where God wants me so I am not worried about that but the prayers are greatly appreciated!
I hope all is well with everyone back home and I will try hard not to wait so long for my next update! Thank you for all of your prayers and support!
¡Adios!
