Stories!

Well, I have had some time to get myself together and I decided I would write some of the stories that had happened over my week in Spain. I will try to keep them quick and to the point : )

1- Met a Muslim man named Matin, really cool guy. Talked to him for a while. At this point at being in the airport we decided that we would just stay in the airport in the entire week, and that really broke my heart. I could not do that, but I did not say anything though. So after a few hours of talking with Matin and after he had bought us lunch he gave us his card and email and keep in touch. As he walked away my heart just broke, I wanted to cry. It was because I could not stay in the airport the whole week. I have to see culture and history and all of that. So I said to God, you know the desires of my heart, I can't be here the whole week. As soon as I said that, Matin comes walking back and shakes my hand one last time. When he did, he had slipped me 40 Euros. We needed 42 for the bus ticket. Sweet. Then randomly an Italain couple decided to give Robert 10 Euros. SO.....off to Barcelona we go. That was cool.

2-(funny story). I had to get up and move quickly to go down stairs. So I got up and right when I did I said to myself "I am about to fall over" and I did. My WHOLE right side of my body was asleep. As I walked I looked retartded and I am sure the cop there thought I was on drugs.

3- Met a crazy Dutch guy named Peter. He wanted to help us and all he had was 10 euros. He kept 2 for himself for a bus ticket and gave the rest to us. He was a super passionate man that drives trucks for a living and also drives trucks for humanitarain aid.

4- Juan, a british man decided to take us out after meeting us. Then he found out what we were doing and he really wanted to bless as much as he could. Cool guy. Got to pray for each other. Oh and then he took us out for coffee also.

5-Met a guy named Gary from England. He has been to 84 different countries. All over the world. Got to pray for his almost completly dead liver, and as we prayed, he could felt warmth coming into and it freaked him out.

6- Went to Girona for a night, ended up on top of a castle over the whole city. Felt like God had said this is for you. : ) so that was beautiful.

7- Met two Chinese Christians who really were cool. They wanted to bless us and buy us some food. Which was nice.

8- When I was in the bathroom, I was like I had a dream about being here with these people and so on. When I walk out of the bathroom, I am going to meet Gary. As soon as I walked out of the bathroom and sat down, Gary came walking up to me. Cool.

9- Met 33 different nationalities. From Mexico to Australia to China.

10- Sat through a Spainish Catholic mass....which was super cool to me. I loved it.

11- Talked to people for hours which was great! Not just ten min conversations. I think the longest one was 6 hours all together.

There are so many more stories, but I will leave you with those. Hope you enjoyed.

God is great!
