Tying a Bow On the Trip

Sara and Ana, two campers. Sara became Ana’s big sister over the course of a week, largely because Sara cared for Ana more than her actual big sister does. Sara knows Jesus, and it shows.

This is us with our friends Mariano and María after a fun day at a theme park. (Spanish lesson - “Esa montaña rusa me mareó.” = “That rollercoaster made me queasy.”)

Liliana and Meggan are happy after a little Spanish coffee and chocolate-filled croissant.

The Roman aqueduct in Segovia is still strong, beautiful, and awe-inspiring after more than 2,000 years.

The cathedral in Segovia. (That's for you, Chone-chone!)

Nicole Gudeman “pets a horse” at the castle in Segovia.

Meggan with Angel, Sheryl, Navi, Nicole, and Ed Gudeman.

We leave Spain in 20 hours! (On a 7am flight... followed by an eight-hour layover in London...) We think we’ll go into town in London to see Covent Gardens and/or the British Museum. We’ll get to Denver Wednesday evening local time, have two days of unpacking, repacking, and seeing friends, and then hit the road for the Midwest on Saturday.

So, what has God been teaching us during our time here? Where do we sense he is leading us next? It has been a rich time, and we couldn’t do it all justice in blog format. We will continue to share more about our answers to these two questions in the coming weeks, but for now, I’ll just say one thing:

God is faithful; he is in control; and he knows what he’s doing.

It has been so good to read your blog. Sad we won't get to say good-bye to y'all, but so happy that you are en route to the USA.

Please keep in touch. And know you are ALWAYS welcome to come and visit in WA State (we put an offer on a house, was accepted, just waiting to see if everything else goes through).

Many blessings, Jada
