And so it begins!

We arrived in Bilbao, Spain, earlier today. The children did great with all the traveling. They did really well on the all night flight from Atlanta to Paris. We only had one mishap, and that was when Eliana got a little bit motion sick and decided to throw up shortly after landing in Paris. But after all, what is travel without a little bit of vomit! As a result, everyone had Dramamine for the final leg of our trip.

We spent that afternoon with some of our team members who are already here, and it was great to get to talk to them face-to-face after having only communicated with them via email, phone, or Skype for nearly a year. I anticipate great things in our work together.

We don't have an apartment yet, so we are staying in a hotel right on the coast (apparently it had the best rate for a family room in the city). This evening I was able to watch people walking along the boardwalk that runs along the coast while waves from the Bay of Biscay broke along the shore. It was the first time I had the opportunity to pray for these people while living amongst them rather than from afar. God is good. May he bless our work here.
