Dear family & friends,

Thank you so much for your prayers and encouragement. I felt so uplifted and loved as I prepared to leave home. Having your prayers, blessings, and notes of encouragement carried me through the difficulty of leaving home. Thank you so much!

My flights went smoothly coming to Spain, and my team received me so well in Cáceres. I am so thankful for them and all their love and kindness in helping me adjust to life in Spain. It’s been a bit of a whirlwind as I’ve dived into getting ready for the internship to begin (one of my jobs is to bake 40+ dozen cookies! :). I’ve also gotten my Spanish cell phone, set up my Spanish bank account, and applied for my residency card! It feels good to have begun setting up life here.

The internship program has begun. There are 2 girls and 1 guy from the states and 1 guy from Germany who are our 2014 summer interns. I’m so excited to  see how God works in and through them! Please be praying for Rebekah, Matt, Danielle, and Jonny as they embark on this step of their journey with God. Here’s a little outline of the internship:

Week 1 - Sonship

Week 2 - Prayer Conference

Week 3 - El Camino de Santiago

Week 4 - Prepare for Basketball/English Camp

Week 5 - Basketball/English Camp

Week 6 - Velilla

Thank you for praying for each intern and this experience in their lives. Please also pray that the Spirit would give my teammates and I us wisdom and discernment as we walk alongside the interns. 

Thank you all for your love and support. Knowing we are in this ministry together is such a joy and blessing. Please let me know how I can be praying for you too.

Love, Kelsey
