Fourth of July

It's nine o'clock in the morning and it's already 31 degrees here in Alhaurín de la Torre. According to the forecast, it's going to be around 36° for most of the day. (That's about 97 degrees for those who think in fahrenheit.)

The B2b young leaders' course finished yesterday and the students headed home to their different nations. It had been a stimulating time, when these young leaders were challenged to develop godly character as well as to pursue the vision that God has given them for their lives.

Today will be a day of celebrating for us as YWAMers in Alhaurín. No, not because the B2b is over, nor because it's Independence Day in the USA or because we just had Canada Day at the beginning of the month (even though some of our YWAM friends here in the town are Canadian and American.) Our gathering today will be for the purpose of saying hallos and goodbyes. We're having a lunchtime barbecue (by a swimming pool, praise God) to reconnect with other YWAMers in the area, and to say goodbye to my housemate, Sue, who is returning to live in England next week. During July, I hope to start looking for a new, probably smaller and cheaper, place to live in the year that lies ahead, and so I'd value your prayers for that.
