September 14-21

School started this week for the kids and Maribel. We also had a great time with Pastor Conley and his wife. I drove up to Madrid to pick them up on Tuesday. We were able to spend the day on Wednesday together showing them around our town and around Alicante. The time of fellowship has encouraged us to continue forward in our calling. On Wednesday we were with the Conleys in the service in Elche, so we had our prayer meeting on Thursday. Yesterday morning I preached from Psalm 3 about remembering and recognizing God's blessings. When Absalom kicked David out of Jerusalem, many assumed that God had finished with David. But David by faith knew that God would save him when it was time. So often Satan gains the victory with us by making us overlook God's many blessings to us even in the middle of the trials. May we have clear vision to see God's hand at work in our lives! For our evening study we went to Emilio and Ester's house. I spoke from Matthew 11 and Luke 16. Israel's parents came for the study as well.
