Adios Emily, we love you!

This is a testimony from Emily.We were so thankful to have her here with us, and can't wait to see how The Lord will use this time and experience in Madrid to shape and grow her. She has headed home and here are some of her thoughts about her time here in Espana...

¡hola! españa has been wonderful, and it has been so exciting to see God work! unfortunately for me, my time here is only one month, so i'll be heading back to the states tomorrow (friday). but throughout my time here, i have learned and experienced more than i ever expected. it has been very eye-opening to see what the church looks like here--for the most part, spaniards tend to reject the church because of how it is run. though this causes our work here to be more challenging, i think it has actually helped us better achieve what we are called to do here. we can so easily see the need for the gospel to be shared, which i think has given us a motivation to really share the love of Christ. i have absolutely loved getting to know some of the spaniards i've met; it's so cool hanging out with them throughout the week and getting to know them on a deeper level. one thing that has been frustrating for our team is not seeing immediate results, but we know that God is in control, and even though we might not be able to see the fruits of our labor, we can trust that they are there because God is at work in both our hearts and the hearts of those we come in contact with. as i get ready to come home, i can't help but be sad to leave this city that i have grown to love, but i am so very thankful for God's grace and that he has so abundantly blessed me with the best team of fellow interns, awesome missionary families here in madrid, and new friendships with the spaniards i've met. - Emily 

Emily and Melody...such fun girls!

We love you Emily and can't wait to see you back in Tuscaloosa!!
