Stop in Philly

We are currently watching the girls make a mess of the Concourse A food court in the Philadelphia international Airport. Other people seem to think it is cute, but dad is a little stressed and still searching for a happy place.

We are just a few hours from boarding our flight for Madrid and thus beginning the adventure that we started preparing for almost a whole year ago. After so many prayers and words of encouragement, it is coming to fruition. While there are still many uncertainties about what awaits our time in Madrid, what we do know is that God goes before us and has been leading us.

For those of you that don't know where we have been the last two weeks, we left Pasadena June 4th on a cross-country road trip that had stops at the Grand Canyon, Northwest Arkansas, Atlanta and Jacksonville Florida for Melinda's mom's wedding. Did I mention we drove...with the girls...from one coast to the other?

We look forward to updating everyone as soon as we are settled in Madrid at la casa de Ramirez (Hector and Lilly Ramirez are graciously opening their home to us for the entire time we are in Madrid working with the camp that they run). So, thank you for your continued prayers and thank you to all who have made this trip possible with your financial support. We will also update our amount raised in a later post as we are still receiving some final numbers from different supporters.

Blessings,

Christopher, Melinda, Ains and Tilly (the Manii)
