It's been a good few days in Badajoz. I spent most of Saturday walking! In the morning, I went to town and was told to catch the bus home later. The only problem was I hadn't a clue which stop was right. Neither did I have any phone numbers to call. So I looked for the church.... Three hours later I found it, found a number to ring and found my way home. I am now familiar with the centre of Badajoz.
In evening we had a meeting for 'los jovenes' - the youth. We had a time of worship and testimonies, and then we prayed in groups. One girl said it was the first time she'd been able to pray. She'd never felt God was interested in her before. It was great to meet an old friend, Pablo Delgado, who led the worship. Even with my limited Spanish, I was able to arrange to see him on Sunday. The day ended as it had begun - another hour or so of walking.
Sunday morning we went to Comunidad Cristiana. A few people recognised me but most have come since. There were around 70 there. It's fantastic to see the building filled with Christians praising God. About 15 people received certificates marking the occasion of their baptism.
In the evening, I visited the Delgado family. It was a bit of a strain on my brain having to communicate entirely in Spanish for a whole evening. We watched the Grand Prix which led to heated discussion. I quite enjoyed being a Hamilton supporter though. But as they said, "Ni Hamilton, ni Alonso". Victory for Finland.
Today I'm going to Navalmoral de la Mata. Please pray for my journey and my time there. That it would leave the right impact on my life. That God would order my steps.
Thank you
