Bird and Bart

















Hola,
Madrid was great and we have finally made it to Salamanca. Before we left the capital though Bird had a chance to hang out with a long time friend from the states. Salamanca is absolutely beautiful. It is the perfect European city with fabulous architecture. The city is alive with thousands of students here to study Spanish. We met this morning with Jesse Bentley, the team leader of the mission. We talked for a couple hours about our goals and expectations for the summer and their vision for us. It looks like we are going to have a great summer full of ministry opportunities. Would you please pray for us to be creative in our ministry? Without knowing Spanish we are limited to the people we encounter. Pray that God would give us wisdom and boldness to be used inspite of our weaknesses.

What a fun picture! Bird you are so cute pregnant!!!

Hey- I know that Bird knows some spanish... no better way to be refreshed than emersion eh? No, joking aside- it is really tough (and often frustrating) when you are not fluent in the native language of those you are trying to minister to. We will be praying that the Lord's spirit will bridge this gap and give you opportunity to connect with the beautiful people of Spain.

May you learn from them and they from you.
