Movie Night

Yesterday morning was a joint worship service with the team who is here to serve as well as with those
 who have already been attending our monthly church services.  It was exciting to see that one of the new believers had invited a friend.  I love to watch her face with how excited she is with her new relationship with Christ.  At times it makes me wonder if people look at my face and see the same.

The afternoon allowed for a siesta, thank goodness!  We are feeling the schedule and heat.  This morning I tried to make a pot of Spanish coffee without the coffee.  Wasn't terribly successful!

Last night we showed Grace Card (movie summary) at the outdoor theater.  Before the movie the team did the cardboard testimonies.  I enjoyed hearing the testimonies, but even more enjoyed watching Hannah struggle with what to put on hers. She reminded me she had always believed in Christ and her the before and after were very blurred.  But when she given permission to not just look at before and after salvation, but instead at before and after total surrender she came up with too many ideas.  She ended up with before she had her own plans and after she followed his plans.

We ended the night at our favorite bar with tapas for dinner - yep at midnight we sat down to order dinner.  We have found this little bar on the plaza that for 2.50€ you can have a large soda and a large tapa.  My favorite is Huevos Rotos con Jamon.  This is french fries (and they are homemade there) with a fried egg on top (soft yellow), and sprinkled with ham.  A perfect light dinner when it is 90 degrees and midnight.
On tap for today - we begin the Bible Festival for children this morning and this evening we start a 3 day basketball tournament.  Somewhere in between I must take Alex for shoes.  His tennis shoes fell to their fate at camp - of course, they were already in danger of dying - but apparently caving finished them off - you can see his feet all the way through them.

We also have a young lady Sarai (19 years old) staying with us this week.  She is part of the San
Fernando church (where we attend when not in Illescas) and wanted to participate in the campaign.  Due to financial circumstances the full boarding cost was more than she could afford, so she is living with us and eating with us and participating in the campaign.  Alex thinks he has another big sister and Hannah is enjoying having another girl in the house.
