¡Viva España!

Vale, estamos aqui, en España... ha ha, don't worry, I won't write this in Spanish. I am quite excited to be in a country where I can speak a little of the language though (this is Hannah speaking) - that hasn't been the case since mid-August! So we're in Spain right now, Villanueva de la Vera in Caceres to be precise. We are staying with an OM couple, David and Sharon, who are from Canada and the USA respectively. Their ministry involves living their lives here how they believe God wants them to, and reaching out to all the friends they have made through farming, being part of the local choir and the English school that Sharon teaches at.

This is the view from our bedroom, out over the olive trees. It is so beautiful here!

On Saturday we spent the day with different friends of David and Sharon's making
Dulce de Membrillo, a jam-type thing made from quince.
Elya's having an awesome time chopping!

Here Sarah is with one of our beloved olive trees. We spent a few days
harvesting the olives on the property and taking them to a co-operative
to be turned into oil. Now, when I close my eyes, all I see are olives...

These are the fruits of our labour on their way to be made into oil.
We picked 400 kilogrammes of olives, which is less than they've
had before, but still quite a lot we think!

We have spent some time in neighboring villages getting to know people and making contacts that we could leave with David and Sharon. We've had some good conversations so far, and we're hoping that we're being of some help to David and Sharon as well. We've had time to get back into team devotions over the last while and we have all really enjoyed getting into the Bible more together and hearing each other's thoughts.

Thank you for taking the time to see what we're doing! Please pray for David and Sharon as they show God's love to the people in this place.

In case you're wondering what the rest of the plan is for Transit, we're driving to Portugal on the 26th November. From Porto we fly to London on the 27th, where we stay for a week, before coming back to Porto and finishing there. We have to go to the UK for visa reasons, hence the time in London.

God bless!
