Well, while the title speaks for itself, I want to reinforce the fact that the last couple of weeks have been crazy... It's been a time filled with challenges, and it has been really busy here in Spain.
To start off, things got under way almost immediately after I returned from the States, as we had the annual soccer school here in Granada. There were around 15 boys in the school, and smaller number than we expected, but it went very well nonetheless. We were able to teach some soccer, but above all share Christ with the kids.
I have also begun helping coach a U-15 boys soccer team, and its been a challenging, yet neat time building relationships with locals, and just seeing the football lifestyle from the inside.
However all that aside, with the soccer camp just finishing, there was a great tragedy in the Ambassadors family. Two of the boys who play on the local club team, one who has been helping with Ambassadors for the past 3 years, had their father very suddenly pass away. This family, has been the family that I have been closest with in Spain, and had been going to their house a number of times each week for lunch. It was incredibly sudden... On the Monday night, he was at the soccer field watching his sons play, and by Saturday he had passed away, due to a major case of Pancreatitis. It has been a very difficult time for the family, and you're continued prayers are much appreciated.
All in all, I am continually being stretched by God in all of this, and am now preparing to get ready to go to South Africa and Mozambique in the month of October.
