Dear Friends and Family,

HOLA!  We wanted to get out another newsletter to let you know all the Lord is doing as we get settled in Spain and start serving at L’Arcada.   We are so busy these days with paperwork (one of my favorite things to do)  andother things that we have not had much time to sit down and do any updates.  Our container got here Sunday and is going to be delivered tomorrow.   However when we got here we found out we had to do a lot of paperwork we were not awareof to get it through customs.   We have been working on that and the Lord has been helping every step of the way to get this accomplished.  Please be praying that all that works well.

We are also working on getting Shania legal here.  She is a US citizen so we have to go through the process to get her set up.  More paperwork!  We already have our bank account and phone set up which is a blessing.  As we had mentioned earlier since we are at 50% of our needed monthly support, we are going to be staying in our parent’s basement for a while until we are able to raise what we need to find something for ourselves.  This is yet another blessing.  It was not fixed up at all.  In fact it was all just brick and cement floors since it was never finished and so we have been painting and fixing it up a bit so we can stay there. 

On the ministry end. I will be helping our Program Director Jordi that a few of you know as a co director for Indian Camps this year.  We have already had a few planning and programming meetings and am learning a lot.  Jordi has been with L’Arcada since it started back in 1991 and has a wealth of knowledge. I am also starting to take over the technical side of things like the website and other things like that.  Sylvia hit the ground running taking over the Design side ofthings.  She has been going back and for the with T-shirt companies here for the volunteer and team shirts thisyear.   Shania is doing well and basking in the attention of both sets of Grandparents. She loves the camp though we are not sure if 763ish acres are enough to contain her. 

Camps start this weekend. Please pray for safety, strength and that the Lord will really touch many lost souls this summer.   Thanks so much for all your prayers during this time. It has been a tiring process however we are so glad to be here finally and digging in.  Thanks also to all ofyou that support us financially.  We areso blessed in how the Lord has provided through you and thank Him so much for you also.  It is always amazing to see how the Lord works and how it all points to Him and for His glory.  When we try to do things to lift ourselves upwe are actually working against the current of a powerful river.    We will keep you updated as much as we can.  During the summer months we have tobe out at the camp a lot and there is no internet up there.  However we will be in town here and there tosend out updates.

Here are some Prayers and Praises.

Praises:

The Lord stepped in as he always does and helped all thepaperwork for the container and customs go through without a hitch.

Our car died yesterday but the Mechanic in town was able tocome to the house and check it out and it was all fixed within hours.  What a blessing.

The basement where we are staying is almost all fixed upjust in time for the container arriving tomorrow.  

Prayers:

There is a lot of work to do for camps later in the summerand so we are running full time with that and still getting installed.  Please Pray that the Lord will really workthrough us in all we do.

Pray for strength for my sister and brother in law Tafie andChristian as they arrive tomorrow to direct the English camp.

Above all Pray for the youth coming to the camp.  May the Lord keep the enemy away from theirhearts and that the spirit may have free reign to touch each child so that theymay hear and come to know the true Jesus.
