On our way in we had a considerable layover in Brussels. We were able to take a mini-tour of the city and get just a taste of Belgium. We'd love to go back - four hours was not nearly enough!!
On Sunday we arrived safely and got settled in our rooms. We were able to get prepped for Tuesday, our first day with the children, that evening, so we were able to see the sights in nearby Malaga all day Monday.
Tuesday was our first day with the children. We had an absolute blast getting to know them, playing games, making music, and teaching them to be secret agents searching for clues to prove the truth of Jesus' salvation.
Wednesday the entire conference went on an excursion to the Rock of Gibraltar! Rachel and I rode up the Rock in a cable car and hiked the 9 kilometers back down. There is also a place on the Rock from which we were supposed to be able to see across the Strait of Gibraltar to Africa. Unfortunately, the day was cloudy and we weren't able to make out the other side, but we got a picture from where we were supposed to be able to see it. ;)
The past two days we've spent with the children. Our time with them will wrap up at the closing service tonight, where the kids will perform some of the songs and recite the Scripture they learned this week. Then tomorrow Rachel and I fly back to Cleveland with Dinita at 7 pm and boom! the trip is over!! It's been a crazy week, but we've had an awesome time seeing Spain, getting to know some wonderful families, and working with a team only God could provide.
See y'all back on the other side of the pond!
