What follows is a random, un-proofread report of the last couple of days and some of the things that are to come.
Last Saturday I put all the finishing touches on the Malaga Media Center’s humorous video update. It stars me. It’s pretty good, but I think that it could have been better, but now it is done and I am going to show it to everyone and later post a link to it here on my site.
Last Sunday I went to an english speaking church for the third time since I arrived in Spain. It was a really message on how faith needs action for it to be faith, it was a really good point. But something that I did notice was that the language is not the barrier that prohibits me from really enjoying a church service, it’s my attention span, I can’t focus for a whole half hour and listen to someone.
Last Sunday afternoon I went to the beach. It was a beach in Torremolinos (a small tourist town along the coast overrun with the British) that I had never been to before. It was dirty, crowded, and hot. But never-the-less I managed to have a really good time of sleeping and swimming.
Last Sunday night I went to the Malaga Feria. Feria is spanish for fair Kirsten and I arrived there at 11:00 PM and things were just kicking off. Spain is different in that things start late and go late. For this Feria, all the city buses in Malaga change there schedule to run until 4 AM instead of the usual 11 PM. I kind of like that schedule, because it is the coolest out that it can be from 11 PM - 4 AM.
Yesterday, August 14th, I spent the day at the water park in Torremolinos with Kirsten and Ben (a Spanish friend from the Camino). It was pretty good, but it was small, expensive, and the queues were huge as the British would say. All in all I got wet and a little burnt, so it was good.
So now we get to last night, still August 14th, but a little late, like around 9 PM. I wanted to start packing but realized that I had no clean clothes. No big deal, just wash some, but I can only hang dry things and so I stayed up late washing clothes and praying that they would be ready for me to pack this morning. Also I had a lot of dishes to do, and something smelled really funny (it turned out to be some rotten potatoes).
I am out of time. Talk to you later.
Oh yeah, if you want you can pray for safe travels for everyone that is going to Switzerland, and that the Speakers would be interesting and informative as they share God’s word with us Missionaries.

Hi Jamie, had an extra minute & figured I would actually let you know that I do check your website. It really is too bad that you have to run off to Switzerland, I’m sure it won’t be as much fun as working on the computer.
keeping all of us folks up todate. Looking forward to seeing the video you have put together.
