Pablo and other answered prayers!

Thursday night and Friday morning were filled with God's reminders of our purpose here. We have not have hot water at our apartment since we got to Salamanca so we've been coming to the campus house to shower. Late Thursday night, around midnight, after Bird and I both showered, a guy named Pablo came by the 'en Vivo' house. He was looking for Jesse but stayed for an hour and a half talking about everything under the sun. He spoke wonderful english so Bird and I were both able to share our faith in Christ with him and tried to answer many of his wonderful questions. His biggest issue, if you would be willing to pray for Pablo is that he cannot image a good God sending anyone to hell. He has a lot of Buddhist thoughts rolling around in head and feels that God is a giant teddy bear who has no other characteristics rather than mushy gushy sentimentalism. We had a great talk with Pablo and he promised to come to our Bible Study which begins next Wednesday. Thank you God for sending us a person to remind us that not one moment of our time in Spain is wasted.

God also answered a prayer of ours for language school. Originally our plan from the beginning was to take Spanish at the University while we are here. This was going to serve a dual purpose in us getting a great opportunity to study Spanish but also to meet other international students to invite them to our Bible Study. However, we did not raise quite enough to take the course at the university but through God's provision we have enrolled in an alternative course, not connected to the school and therefore half the price. WE START CLASS ON MONDAY!! And we could not be more excited. Please pray for opportunities to meet people and to share our faith with them. Praise be to God!!
