After an uneventful overnight flight from Dakar, we arrived in Madrid at 4 o'clock in the morning yesterday. I had a long 12-hour wait before my connecting flight to Málaga and so, instead of just sitting around in the airport, I decided to catch a bus into the city centre. I live in Spain, but I hadn't yet had an opportunity to see the sights of our capital. Madrid's temperature of 3 or 4 degrees felt bitterly cold after twelve days of African sunshine in Senegal, but I enjoyed being able to take three or four hours to see the Royal Palace and some of the other buildings that are landmarks of the city.
Our ILT (international leadership team meetings of King's Kids International) came to good closure on Sunday and Monday. We were able to spend lots of time in prayer for people and initiatives relating to the African continent and, among other things, we made a decision to hold our next large international gathering in Africa during 2015 (instead of during 2014) as this will give us more time to gear up and prepare for maximum participation from our people around the world.
Now, back in Málaga for today, I'm washing all my laundry and catching up on computer work related to KKI and LDC, before leaving for Scotland tomorrow to celebrate my parents' diamond wedding anniversary with them.
