We landed on Saturday and did many things as soon as we landed. That night we all went out for a tradition Spanish Saturday night. We went out around 10:30 and there were babies in strollers, little kids running around, teenagers, adults, and people in their 80’s walking around! We stopped at a place for sangria (very popular and delicious in Spain) and Courtney and I watched the scenery. There were teenagers (young life age) smoking, drinking, going into clubs…in public! It made me wonder about how Young Life would be different in Spain compared to America. And how evangelism is different in different places would be. The drinking age is 18 here but it is not enforced. Not many things are enforced… How do you show the love of Christ and talk about it to people who have never heard about a relationship with Jesus. Courtney and I went out with some teachers last night and they asked us how we could afford to go to Africa and India (they thought we were rich) and I said “Jesus” …they did not understand so I said “Jesus, God, pointed up, said iglesia (church)”…they were even more confused then before. But I am hoping that by the little conversations we do have about God and the actions I do take they will see something different…a light that they are drawn to and will want to know more about. God works in amazing ways and I cant wait to see how he works in the surroundings he has placed me in!
