Spain, England and Africa in one Day

Well, i just wanted to give you all a quick update on how things have been, and what has been happening in my neck of the woods.... Well... where to start... Tonight I just got back from a trip to England, Africa and Spain, 3 places in which i went to all in one day.....

Me and my buddy here, headed to a place called Ceuta, a Spanish colony in North Africa for the weekend to share about our soccer ministry and talk to some contacts about some future ministry opportunities in there city, and also to share with the youth. It was great time, as we were able to make some good contacts, play a match with some guys on the streets, share with the youth, and see some sights... After a good weekend in Ceuta, we headed back to Spain... .However since the buses and trains were finished running for the day, we decided we may as well stay the night in an English colony on the coast of Spain, called Gibraltor. So to Gibraltor we went.... And it was an absolutely crazy time there... We got there...discovered that there were no hostels open, and all the hotels were full.. so we spend the evening searching for monkies, because that is one of the main attractions to this English costal city. You will have to ask me about the story of our adventure.. But lets just say it contained.... A funny confrontation with a lighthouse caretaker... Some of the steepest hills I have walked in my life... about 23 Km of walking in about a day... rain...wind... a few Catholic Church's...A mosque... A construction site... Buses that dont stop at there stops.. One granola bar.. mountain climbing... and killer monkies... everything you need to make an adventure happen... Anyway, we got back safetly... We were definately stretched... But it was good. Anyway, we now have a womens tour here, and I gotta get a bunch of things done. I miss you all, and hope all is just fine and dandy whereever this update finds you.

Much love,
Matt
