Thank you all for your prayers. Poco a poco (little by little) I'm learning the language. Some days I feel I've come a long way and other times - like this weekend - I wonder if I've learnt anything.
I gather the weather in England has been very fine. Well, the grey skies here make me wonder where I am. It's been raining incessantly these last three days and I managed to forget my umbrella (it had been sunny the last five weeks). Today I got very wet and hot and almost very bothered. The Ministry of Interior wouldn't let me in to collect my certificate because I didn't have an appointment. I nearly gave up but - thanks God - I managed to clarify my situation and now I'm officially a resident of España!!
Back to the topic of climate and you'd be surprised just how cold it can be here. The majority of people don't have or don't use heating, so I wear a coat in most houses I visit. Thankfully, the house in Navalmoral is nice and warm. One cold house I went to was in a village outside Badajoz. A number of folk from my church went to a housechurch with a handful of believers from the village. It was encouraging to hear some powerful testimonies of healing and salvation and to worship together.
Ramón Bellew the former pastor of Comunidad Cristiana has a real heart for these places. In the majority of villages there are no Christians and even the towns have little knowledge of the Gospel. Ramón's passion is to support and strengthen the believers and encourage them to be more active in evangelism as well as hosting meetings in the various places. Please pray that there would be abundant fruit in this work and that this region would hear the Gospel (probably for the first time) and welcome it.
