Day 1 - Arrival

We arrived safely at Madrid this morning your time 4:10am. Rev. Young, his wife and one brother from their church took 2 cars to pick us up. Our travel went relatively smooth except for a delay in take off and landing from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia. Because of that, we had to rush our supper in order to catch the plane to Madrid. I think our pastor must have broken the record in consuming supper :-) He probably finished his meal (Chinese fast food picked up at the airport) in less than 5 minutes.

Anyhow, praise God for the smooth and safe travel. Pastor and Mrs. Miller met us at the parking lot at the English church to send us off and prayed for our trip, team members and families.

After arriving at Rev. Young's apt., we were treated breakfast at noon Spain time, 6am U.S. time. There are three bedrooms in his apt. The Young's are going to stay in one bedroom; Becky and Emily in another, and I take the last bedroom. Pastor Cheng is going to sleep in the living room. There are two bathrooms for eight people to share for the coming two weeks.

After breakfast, Rev. Young and his wife Lorraine updated us with the plans for the coming two weeks. We have a better understanding of what we're expected to do, basically teaching and discipling. Please pray that God will give us wisdom to complete these tasks.

That's all the updates for now. Pictures will be up next.
