Day 5 - Saturday's Update

It's almost 1am on Sunday. We came home this evening close to midnight again. I stayed home this morning to prepare for my workshop on Family. The pastor, Becky and Emily went grocery shopping again. Pastor Cheng met with the men's group this afternoon at three at church; and I did my workshop on Family from 5:30-7:00 pm. Thirty people were in attendance for my workshop. Rev. Young came home and reported that to Lorraine and they said that was very good attendance. I talked to a few people afterwards and the feedback on the workshop was positive. Next Sat. I'm going to give another workshop on Raising Children.After the workshop, we were invited to have supper with a church family and had good fellowship with them.

Emily and Lorraine went to the first youth group meeting hosted at a church member's home at the same time when the adults were meeting at church this afternoon. The meeting went well. Again, Lorraine had good report on Emily's sharing and their meeting. Emily will again lead the youth group meeting on Sunday before worship.

Saturday was the first day when we met many brothers and sisters of the Madrid Chinese Church. They come from different backgrounds and places. There are a lot of things to pray for. The Young's ministries here are challenging. Praise the Lord we have a chance to come and understand their work here; and now we know how to pray for them.
