On Wednesday (the children's weekly day off of school) we drove down into the mountainous Basque region of Spain to pick up 9,000 tracts to use for a distribution among the new influx of students to the area. We were graciously hosted for lunch by the Juan Alvarez family. They are Mexican, missionaries sent out from their home country to minister in Spain. They have served as a team with the Andy Bownikowski family for more than 10 years. They are humble, unpretentious and full of wisdom. We had a delightful time with them, sitting around their skinny table in their third-floor apartment, sharing experiences and pegging them with questions. Though both their native land and target field are different from either of ours, we benefitted greatly. We are now hoping they will pay us a visit sometime later in the year.
On the way home, we got off the highway to see some of the sights of the coastline in San Sebastian. The north shore of the Spanish coast is truly beautiful and an eloquent testimony to its Creator. We got home both tired and refreshed ... and with 9,000 tracts that will have to be folded by hand! Anybody want to help?

The tracts issue a general invitation to and explanation of the church. They are beautifully printed with the picture of our building on the front to help with visual recognition.
