One of the neat things about being back is the opportunity to get together with friends I worked with in 2008. I had a lovely lunch (curry!) on Wednesday in new Alcalá with Ken and Alison, discussing next steps and different modes of returning to work in Spain. That evening I got to attend Alison's English conversation group and meet some dear Spaniards with impressively high English levels. English tutorials are apparently still in high demand, so that may be one route for me.
This morning I met Craig and Becky for breakfast in old Alcalá, and we talked about the SEND end of the work. In both sets of friends it's evident that God is working quite profoundly in Spain. The timing may not be as quick as we'd like, but His purposes are being accomplished.
One thing I'm very thankful for is that these friends are very honest about the work here. There is no sugarcoating the process. The work is hard. God is faithful. And there are so many reasons to rejoice!
The week is going really fast - too fast for me! I feel very thankful and blessed for this time.
