Wow time is going by so fast and I am learning so many new things. I am learning many new Spanish words and phrases, but more importantly I am learning the love of God. He is doing some amazing things in my life and the lives of those around me in Seville. God has opened and is still opening up many doors to talk about him to non-christians. There are so many times that I have a conversation with someone and out of nowhere we get on the topic of our belief's and faith's. God is everpresent and I am so happy that through all the hard work of preparing and praying for these conversations to come up, they are now being fulfilled.
We are still going to the schools every week and teaching English. This week we talked about Halloween and we taught the students vocabulary words like: Trick or treat, costumes, candy, and pumpkin carving. Then we played a game to see if they were paying attention. Those who who paid attention received a piece of candy. Needless to say many of the kids loved us for bringing candy.
We also talked about Halloween during English club and there were many interesting conversations from that, which I really enjoyed talking about. It led more into faith and not believing in the dark side of Halloween. It is a hard topic to talk about, but I also thought it is important to talk about so if anybody did ask how I felt about Halloween I could talk about my faith.
So in spite of all the bad history of Halloween, there are chances for each one of us to start a conversation about our faith, and I encourage you to get that opportunity to talk to someone about your faith. Thanks again for all the prayers! Paz y Amor! lol
