Day 11

Journal 2 Corinthians 12:7-10
The lady on the right is Gloria and she is a believer we came across just as she was praying for some comfort from God. She has a small church in the city next to her beauty supply store and needed encouragement from the Lord and we showed up. What a sense of humor God has. Boy am I tired. For those following us, this blog has also acted as my journal of things I remember, but I also have a responsibility to you and the team to record things in a not so selfiish way so that all can enjoy it. But when I say I am tired I pretty much speak for us all. While the others are out taking some photos (and sneaking in a large meal without me I suspect) I have chosen to stay behind and rest and write and talk with my wife via Skype. Today we were able to get to the Expo in good time and we worked the afternoon shift and did what we have been doing there: passing out materials and talking with people. Today was church and we got to worship with the people whose church we are in. Ray interpreted for us and we sang their songs and everything. The church holds about 500 but there was only about 150 total due to the Expo, heat, vacations, etc. Not much different from Barton.
Josep woke up sick, but Larry's Zicam came to the rescue and now Josep is trying to find a way to prove that a Catalan man invented Zicam. The guy never lets up!
Most of the team is ready to come home now but we still have a few days left- mostly of travel. tomorrow after the morning shift at the Expo we will drive 5 hours back to Palamos and Ray's house. We will be there relaxing on Tuesday and then leave for Barcelona early Tuesday eve. We agreed to let Ray drop us off at midnight so that he could drive back home at a decent hour. We will sleep in the airport and catch our early flight back Wednesday. Wow. Travel prayers are in order and blog posts will be shorter- unless crazy things happen, which is possible with us- just keep praying and we will be home soon with all the details.
