Spain Trip

From November 13th to 20th we traveled to Spain to visit G42. We invited Garry and Teresa to come with us and they did, which was really cool. 

We got there really late on the 13th after a long day of traveling and went to class the next morning where we met everyone and reunited with the people we already know. 

At lunch we wandered towards our rental car which was parked near the tourist donkey: 

Except it wasn't parked by the tourist donkey anymore. It was towed :( I guess we need to learn to read Spanish. Thankfully it was easy enough to find and set free, thanks to this lovely police officer (that's our car, locked up behind Steve):

With our wheels back we headed with Garry and Teresa down to the Mediterranean:

Our second morning there we were able to share with the class about who we are and what we do, and what we learned at G42 that sticks with us. It was really cool and what was supposed to be a 30  minute chat turned into an hour and a half conversation ending with prayer for us.

We spent some time with Andy and Caleb:

We went to classes and we climbed the mountain up to the church:

It was fun doing a few more touristy things with Garry and Teresa, like seeing the castle in Fuengirola (the city at the bottom of the mountain, on the sea).

We were also able to meet with Andrew a few times, he and his wife Mo are in the middle:

Our lovely friends Tara and Shanda were always fun to connect with but their time in Spain has come to an end. We missed seeing Shanda by just a couple of weeks but were able to get an afternoon with Tara (beside Garry) in Malaga.

Sunday at Mijouse (one of the intern houses) we were invited to an open mic night. 

My boys opened the night with their sweet dancing skillzzzz and Andy joined them: 

All I heard about all week from my small people was gelato (which they kept confusing with enchilada) but it wasn't THAT warm out! Finally the last day I caved and bought some. 

One last Spanish sunset to finish our trip.

It was a quick trip and we were actually kind of disappointed to be leaving on Tuesday because the teacher for the week was so interesting! Although short, this trip was definitely the thing I needed, that I didn't know I needed before we went, ha ha. Rest, teaching, deep and hard conversations and new revelations from the Lord.
