Speaking Frankly, by Michael Frank

Tonight will be first time ever (for me) to "blog", or type on a Spanish keyboard. This should be fun...

It is the next to the last night for our group, and what an amazing week it has been. In case you have been reading the previous blogs, you are up to date on what an incredible group of people there are in this part of the world, who have and share their passion and hearts for God. You have no choice but to be humbled and know that there is a God and that he is bigger than you can comprehend. Today was the first day that all the leaders of the church were able to come together at the same time this week, along with a few of its members, and see the church for the first time after we completed our renovations. To see grown men overwhelmed with emotion at the sight of their "new" church was incredible. To break out into small groups with the leaders and members and just ask them questions on what they thought the direction and destination was for their church and their community...was also amazing. We heard their needs and their viewpoints, and it was humbling to know that there are people in other parts who have the same obstacles and challenges that we face in spreading His word.

And to preface this next part, I have heard of this done before on other mission trips, and thought the idea of it was cool, but I had no idea... To come across the ocean and listen to a new friend that you have met sing "Indescribable" (by Chris Tomlin) in his language really opens your eyes to see just how big of a part this thing is and how big God is.

It was another long, and awesome day. A morning workout on the beach across the street of our hotel. A devotion led by an incredible man, Bob Cox. A quick visit to the church that they are building here in Vilanova, and then the rest of the day with its members in Sitges. And to close the night with just our group at dinner here on the boardwalk, Oh, and we heard a very intriguing testimony by Carolyn Norton...this a great close to a beautiful day. In shorto, I have had a lot of funo. And I can´t wait to come backo hereo...
