It’s been nearly two weeks since I’ve been able to use my my computer and the internet for various reasons including a change in the daily routine here and a week of holidays. As such, unfortunately that means that going forward I won’t get to use my computer as much as I was before. Still writing everything that happens down in my journal and am sorry that (for now) I’m not able to share more since my time and computer use are always limited.
Could you all please pray for the following for me? They are very important. Thanks for lifting me up before our Father. Know too that other than a huge lack of communication here, things continue to be more or less wonderful here!
- Arranging travel - I have another day off on Saturday and will be spending the first part of my day searching for (air or train) tickets online for my trip to the UK and if there’s time for my trip back to the US scheduled for mid April. Please pray for the process to go smoothly as I’d prefer this task to not be frustrating or time consuming.
- Upcoming holidays - I hate loud noises and chaos. I get cranky if I eat late. Yet, I’ve been told that those qualities more or less sum up both the Spanish version of Christmas and New Year’s Eve. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE be praying for me to have an abundance of God’s grace, peace, and light during this time as I don’t want to react in my flesh.
- My return to Madrid - I will be back in Madrid from Jan 16-19 for debriefing, sightseeing, and evangelism in The Vertedero (massive garbage dump and drug haven). I’m not sure what day exactly I will be in The Vertedero, but this is probably a time that’s going to break my heart and is a dangerous location for me to venture into. I want this experience, but please pray especially for this venture, specifically for my safety (and that of the others on the team) and for God’s love to be like a fragrant perfume upon us drawing many to His love.
- Becoming fluent in Spanish - More or less, I’m understanding what’s being said to me though it may have to be repeated if spoken quickly. I know I understand more Spanish and can respond more quickly as well now. I’m not fluent though. Pray for my Spanish to continue to improve and for me to become fluent if not now then in the future.
All my love,
Amanda Kay
