Just a quick testimonial from a team member...

Hola todos! We’re only five days into our trip in Madrid, but it feels like it’s been twice that!

Yesterday we traveled to La Universidad Complutense de Madrid to begin our ministry efforts towards college students. We walked around campus in teams of two, approaching Spanish students and surveying them about their views on life and religion. It was a bit nerve wracking to walk up to complete strangers and ask such profound questions, but we found that the students were eager to discuss them. It was a really fun experience, and it helped us better understand the community that we hope to serve this summer. -Scott

We have been to Complutense twice now, and have enjoyed some good conversations with students. Their life, while lived in a different country and speak a different language, is very much like Alabama students...class, friends, parties, sports, stress, exams. I like to say, that a college student is a college student no matter where you are, and that is proving true here in Madrid.

Its so fun to walk around campus with our kids...they stress me out completely, but people are always coming up to us to ask about them. Our kids are better missionaries than we are!

these little parks are all over the city, which makes this a great place for our family

just too beautiful to not share

and the cuteness is transatlantic

Today is a bit of a rest day...and we took advantage. We all slept till 10:30, ALL of us! We have been going so hard that I really think we needed the rest. We are planning to just enjoy our neighborhood today, get in a museum tomorrow and then tomorrow night is our first planned event for university students! We are looking forward to seeing what God is up to...your prayers for this time would be most welcomed!!

adios para ahora,

Ada
