The Last Few Days

The last few days have been very busy. We have been traveling to different towns where Kent Albright, the missionary here, has been showing us the need for the Gospel in these towns. The day before yesterday we visited Machacon, a very small town, and had the opportunity to sing a few songs and pass out more tracts. This small town is where a family from the missionaries church lives. It was exciting for us to have the opportunity to share Christ alongside them. As we sany in their small plaza people would literally peak around buildings but would not come and stand to listen. At times we would see windows open but the curtains closed. When the wind blew the curtains moved and we could see people intently listening to the music.
Yesterday we visited city about an hour north from here named Zamora. It contains about 66,000 people and is extremely dark spiritually. It was interesting to note, however that as we walked through the city, there was a Roman Catholic church/chapel every hundred or hundred and fifty yards. All of these were built somewhere during the XI and XIII century. The architecture on them as you will see in the pictures is beautiful. And the fact that they have remained relatively intact is an amazing architectural feat. However once again I cannot help but make the analogy between these cold, stone buildings with the hardened Spaniard. During one of our times out in a plaza singing, a man came out of bar/cafe and began to listen. Being slightly drunk he began to yell out, "There is no God. God does not exist." All the time we continued to sing. This and many other hard reactions to the Gospel can be found here.
Please pray for safety as I have been driving quite a bit in an unfamiliar land. Also continue to pray that as we pass out tracts and sing the Gospel will soften the hearts. I can't help but compare Spain to Peru. In comparison Spain is much harder spiritually than Peru, yet they have had "Religion" for much longer. They have had the Bible, their eyes are so darkened by sin and Satan's grasp on this country.
