Quick update before I go to sleep here...
Our two days with the Moroccan couple were lovely. They minister to North Africans through (a) radio programming in Arabic broadcast to reach Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and much of Europe; (b) correspondence courses for those who hear the programs and want to learn about the Bible; and (c) a community center predominantly serving Moroccan immigrants in Málaga. Two favorite moments - walking along the beach with Habiba, and having Ab drive us to the airport in the aggressive Spanish style.
So, here we are in Madrid, where we will spend the next seven weeks. We are staying with the Cox family (Paul, Dawn, Samuel, and Benjamin) for three nights. They're Texans serving as missionaries with OMS. Again, the third family to open not only their guest rooms but also their hearts to us.
A fun tidbit of trivia that is very appropriate for myself and my new friend Benjamin Cox - here in Spain, the youngest child in the family is known as the Benjamin, apparently after the youngest of Jacob's sons in Genesis.
