Of our three goals, 1) Encourage the missionaries; 2) Initiate Contacts; and 3) Be Challenged in our participation in world missions, this one hurt my back the most\u00a0(actually, it wasn’t too bad).\u00a0\"IMG_1840\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We tried to accomplish this several different ways:<\/p>\n

1) We took suitcases of gifts from our church, and Scott’s collection of Dr. Seuss books, or “theological reference library” as he calls it (hence the back comment)<\/p>\n

2) Showing an interest in their lives and ministries<\/p>\n

3) Gospel conversations<\/p>\n

As normally happens, when we try to do something kind, the other party always outdoes us. That is how it was in our trip to Spain.<\/p>\n

We took a few bags of stuff, but both the Fulks and Templetons housed us, fed us, and listened to my lame jokes.<\/p>\n

We followed them around and watched their ministries, but they spent a good chunk of three weeks talking with us about us. We didn’t get to drive the conversation, they led and continually encouraged us.<\/p>\n

We sought to encourage them in the Gospel while talking and walking with them, but both couples kept pointing us to Christ and how his work touches our lives.<\/p>\n

We thank God for their friendship!<\/em><\/p>\n
