Meal time is really different here. We had breakfast at noon Madrid time today; and then had l lunch at around 6pm, which is really our dinner time in the States. They were supposed to dinner later this evening but since we had lunch so late in the evening, and we're all so tired, we skipped dinner this evening. I slept very little on the plane coming here and was quite sleepy during the day today, our first day in Madrid. However, I resisted taking a nap in the afternoon fearing that I wouldn't be able to sleep tonight. I'm getting ready to turn in now; it's about 10:30pm here.
Tomorrow we'll begin our visitation work. The audience here is different than the audience in North America in that they are mostly business people, restaurant owners and workers. I have to conduct a seminar on Family on Sat. and am praying that God will give me wisdom to speak to the audience here so that whatever that is shared through the seminar will be beneficial to them. Originally I planned to be with Emily as she shares with the youth group; however, we just found out that the seminar on Family will conflict with the youth group meeting time. So please pray for Emily too that God will use her sharing to encourage young hearts here. Also, as posted, we'll help the Young's with starting a women's group and a men's group. Of course, Becky and me will help with the women's group and Pastor Cheng will help with the men's group. Today was our day of rest and briefing. Tomorrow we begin the real work. Please pray that the Holy Spirit will empower us to do His work.
