Happenings

We have had a very fulfilling end of summer living here in Santiago. We have had prospective new IT international workers come and visit our team. We have two new interns that will be spending about 5 and 1/2 weeks with us. Our new teammates the Baileys are settling into their new apartment here and life in SdC. Jacob Bailey has been taking an intensive Spanish course which bringing back a flood of memories to me of arriving in SdC 4 and 1/2 years ago and trying to comprehend and communicate with those around me. When I called him the other day his words came out in a mix of Spanish and English. I remember learning Spanish making it hard for me to spell in English (not that I was a great speller to begin with). Abigail has started back to her preschool and her Spanish is returning rapidly. Isa is talking like crazy (in English). It this age when Abigail was quiet it meant that she was getting into something that she shouldn't. When Isa is being quiet it most often means we find her in a bed or on a chair reading a book (she must get that from Lori). I have been taking photos around the city some of which will be serving as inspiration for upcoming projects in Art Club and I continue working on some music. Yesterday I went to a conference on evangelism at a church in A Coruna. It was so good being with other Christians and learning about some of the things God is doing in the Church in Galicia. Please continue praying for the church in Galicia. Pray that God will bless our relationships with Christian leaders who are already here and that he will raise up new leaders out of this generation.
