In Ferrol

We've finally made it here after a very long journey yesterday, driving across the whole of Spain (something we'd really recommend, it's an absolutely stunning mountainous country and..... WE SAW WILD FLAMINGOS). We're staying in such a beautiful area, surrounded by hills covered with eucalyptus trees which you can kind of smell in the air all the time. There's flowers everywhere especially big blue hydrangea bushes. We're staying with 2 of the OM leadership team: Trevor and Manoli in their home. The house where Manoli's grandad was born.

Having arrived at 11pm last night we've had a full on day today, meeting the rest of our team who are all spanish, from Zaragoza. Giles has been asked to preach in church next Sunday, we both gave our testimonies in a service that lasted a couple of hours with us sitting in the front row. The children did SO well. We then went to a river for a picnic and baptism which lasted into the evening. It's all so beautiful and unknown. Meeting so many new people let alone speaking and hearing Spanish all the time is exciting but exhausting!

We'd love you to continue praying for us. Giles is leading morning devotions for the team every morning at the OM house a 10 minute drive away at 11am, please pray for him for truth and clarity. We're going to be doing 2 lots of evangelism in Ferrol every day this week starting at 11.30 in the morning and 4.30 in the afternoon. I think there's things we're going to be inviting people to and finding anyone who's interested for the church to follow up later. Please pray for the children, Sophie's completely off any schedule which she's coping very well with please pray she'd be able to get good sleep in her pushchair and would quickly get used to all these new people. Pray for Joseph that he'd gain greater insight into living for and sharing Jesus. Pray for Ethan who's quite tired that we'd be able to comfort him and have time to enjoy him. When he gets tired he just wants to go home to Bristol. Pray for Emelye for good sleep, lots of energy and improved Spanish and an insight into all these new people to be able to support and encourage them.

Thank you all!
