A Day in the Life of the Spain team as seen by Anna and Ann...but mostly Anna!
-A brisk walk to the train station, amounting to a few miles
-40 min. train ride to Santiago
-Arrive in Santiago with excitment for the day
-Break off into "buddies" and start the journey...First we found a comfy spot on the sidewalk of rocks and prayed...we prayed out of Ephesians 5, asking God to reveal the mystry of the gospel through us to the people we would come in contact with...from there we began a prayer walk through the bustling streets...we never actually approached the Cathedral ,as we did in days past, we stayed mostly in the sorounding streets...
-Lunch Time! for lunch we went ot a cute little buffet style resturant...it was a huge blessing because a missionary couple that is a friend of the Mosers, bought the whole team lunch!
-After lunch we went walked around for a "siesta" break and looked in a few shops-
-Next it was back to bussiness...Ann and I went to a park that was near...we talked and prayed some more...I went to the bathroom and came out to find Ann chatting with a lady on a bench...I figured I would walk a little and let her continue on with the conversation but, little did I know that Ann was Struggling a bit...there was more confusion than actual communication going on because the woman spoke absolutly no English, and for those who do not know, Ann is not quite fluent nor remotely famliar with the Spanish vocabulary...so when I finally decided to join her and the woman Ann decided to go and find one of our Spanish speaking friends to asissit with the situation...I was then left with a dear old non-English speaking woman who seemed very intriged with the track Ann had given her...I then decided to attemtped to share my almonds with her, she declined...a short time after, I saw Ann and Ruth Moser on the horizion!...Ruth sat down with the woman and spoke with her about the Lord and even got to read her a few passages from the Bible...Ann and I sat on the other side of the bench and prayed...we once agian prayed out of Ephesians "...wake up oh sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you"...Ruth was able to talk to her for about 30 min...as we watched the woman walk away we prayed again that the seed that was planted today would blossom and grow...
-DRAMA...today was the first time that we have been able to do our drama..we did it right in the middle of a square, sorounded by shops and cafes...it drew a lot of attention...it was nerve-wrecking the first time...we di d it twice and had a good crowd for both...no matter what languge anyone spoke I truely feel the drama can relate...
-After that we packed up and walked to the train station to head back to the church for our 10 o clock dinner...it was good!
-Now it is bedtime!!...to get all rested up for tomorrow...
This has been Straight News with Anna and Ann...for the unedited version and deleted scenes speak with one of us...

Sounds like a great day! I am so happy to hear about all of the wonderful opportunities God is giving all of you to share Him with the people of Spain. I will continue to pray for all of you and for open ears and hearts of the people you come in contact with.
The team is doing an amazing job. Thanks for the updates and all the great ideas to pray specifically for you. Have a great next couple of days and know that you are thought of and prayed for often!
