So every time I come to Spain and there's a football (soccer) tournament, Spain wins. Does Spain owe me some compensation? . . . I believe so. Well, Spain is the official victor of the EuroCup, demolishing Italy in a 4-0 game. We watched the game at an outdoor cafe on this lovely night. Then we strolled over to the center of Granada to watch the mob celebrate. It was pretty incredible.
Eating and celebrating Spain's win in the EuroCup was not, though, the best part of the day. Today was the Sabbath and we worshipped with our brothers and sisters on the Granada team at the Iglesia de la Reconciliacion. It is good to be reminded that Jesus is King of the whole world and not just of the American Bible belt. And something about singing praises to Jesus in Spanish gives a sweet foretaste of the day when all nations will worship Jesus as King.
Today was also the last day of prep for the camp . . and the last day we got to sleep in. Many of us were very thankful for a day of rest, some still recovering from the remnant symptoms of jet lag and others preparing for a hard and long week of waking up early and staying out late like they do in Spain.
The three muchachos of the group, Tommy, Peter, and Chris, have all been taking turns serenading us and making use of the convent's hollow walls, playing on a little miniature guitar. Unfortunately, their most common times of playing are early morning and siesta time. It's just the Spirit's sanctification.
This team really is pretty great. I am thankful for everyone as the trip leader. Everybody has been so soft and respectful. The devo times have been encouraging and honest as well. But camp starts tomorrow and it's super late here . . . so here goes.
P.S. On a personal note, I am thankful to be in a place where my jorts (jean-shorts for the fashion impaired) are appreciated and celebrated and not judged, though ironically I did judge my father quite a bit for his and their brevity and made a foolish ultimatum that I would never. O well.
