3 places, 2 nieces, and 1 prayer request

Things continue to go very well for us. We are loving our time with the Andersons; they've been very hospitable (and fun!). They bring a wealth of experiences and perspectives to the table from which we are having the privilege of learning; Eva is a native Spaniard, while Dan is an American MK who grew up in Papua New Guinea. We've talked a lot about different ministry approaches in Spain, cultural stuff, hobbies, movies, current events - you name it. Tomorrow we will move to another home here in Málaga, and if all our hosts are this great to us, we will have a phenomenal summer, and we will meet our objective of discerning where God is calling us.

Okay - on to today's theme: three places...
1. Málaga - what variety! The docks, beaches, hills; the cathedral, the old city, newer neighborhoods, touristy areas, beautiful plant life; Spaniards, Moroccans, Romanians.

2. Almogía - an enchanting small town in the hills a half hour north of Málaga.
3. El Torcal - limestone rock formations at the top of a mountain with a beautiful view.

Two nieces...
Emily has a little sister! Addison Meril Knox was born at 10:15am today in Indy by C-section. Kim and Addy are both doing great. Praise God! We can't wait to meet our new niece come August.
One prayer request...
Pray for Andrés, a friend of Davíd, the younger of the Andersons' boys. Andrés' single dad is an alcoholic who provides a less-than-ideal home environment. As you might expect, Andrés is not exactly the easiest kid to have as your son's friend, but he needs a lot of love, and he finds that when he's here at the Anderson home (even if he doesn't know how to receive it). At the same time, the Andersons will move to Madrid in a few weeks, so it's not as if this will be around for him for long. I don't know anything else about Andrés - does he have other positive influences in his life? what exactly is his home like? - but I know your prayers for him would fall on the ears of a Father who cares deeply for him.
