Today and a temporary farewell

Today, we had a few more opportunities in Portugal.  We visited a Christian nursing home, and we began our visit with a concert.  The people seemed to especially enjoy the upbeat bluegrass songs.  The guys were also able to share about Jesus and some testimony.  After the concert and meeting some of the patients, we got a tour of the facility.  It was a wonderful home.  We were treated with coffee and cake, and headed onto the next place.  We then went to a beach, where we played some music next to the beach.  Moonbeam and the missionary shared with people who stopped to listen and invited them to a service on Sunday.  A couple and two friends said they were going to come to the church service.  While there, a guy who organizes bands for restaurants in another town, Sintra, asked if we would come and play there.  He took the missionary's contact information, and we hope he will contact him that we might go there and play and share with people there.  You can be praying for that as well.

Well, we learned today that we will not have internet access for the rest of our time in Portugal.  So, I will give you the itinerary for the next few days.  Tomorrow, we go to a women's prison to play some music and share with the inmates.  In the afternoon, we will go back to visit Elena for her birthday.  In the evening, we are playing and sharing for a men's ministry meeting that the missionary has each month.  On Saturday, we hope we will be able to go and play in Sintra.  There is also the possibility that we will meet other IMB missionaries.  Saturday evening, we will be playing at a church service.  On Sunday, we are playing and sharing at three church services.  That night we will be playing for a couple hours at a cafe.  Hopefully, we will be able to talk with people in between sharing and after we play.

Monday morning, we head to the Ukraine and Moonbeam heads back to the US.  If we have internet access there, we will update as we can.

Thanks so much for your prayers!
