Last Post...

Hey all,

This is my last post before I leave for Morraco...

My bag will be here tonight at 9!!! (1 pm back home) Thank you so much for all your prayers!!! I have blisters from two days in uncomfy flip flops so I'm so relieved to be getting my bag!

Another praise! There are more celiacs here in Spain than there are at home. The super markets are full of gluten-free crackers, bread, meat, and yummmmy chocolate chip cookies! My leaders are SO nice, and they have made sure that I have a bag full of crackers, dried fruit, nuts, soy milk, and cookies to take with me tomorrow. They also said (and this surprises me because I did so much research!) that in Morroco there are many diabetics, and so alot of people cannot eat sugar. They said that when we visit homes where I cannot eat the food, they will explain that I'm unable, like a diabetic, to eat certain foods, and because of this the Morrocans will not take offense! They aim to keep me as gluten-free (and well) as possible! Praise the Lord!

The beach here is beautiful, and today we had a picnic and laid in the sun. The orientation officially begins tonight and then we finish training in Morocco. The difference in cultures is absolutely crazy, and I can hardly take it all in!

I will be back in Spain on the 28th... Blessings and Thank you for praying!!!

Love Kate

Algeciras, Spain

Hi all!

I'm here in Spain, and it is beautiful! Very tired, but loving it here! We are staying in a small 5th floor apartment on a little street in the middle of town, and from our balcony we can see the city as well as the coast. We are only a short drive away from the Strait of Gilbraltar, where we will be ferrying across to Morocco in a couple days. Orientation will be in Morocco, and we will then be spending a couple weeks putting to good use what we learn.

Please pray... my bag did not arrive with me, and it only has a couple days to get here! If it does not come in time, one of the ladies who lives here in Spain has offered to let me borrow some of her clothes as she lived in Tunisia for two years and has often been to Morroco. But I also had my sandals and some other important things in my other bag... obviously if it doesn't come that means God will provide for me without it... but nonetheless it would be so nice!!!

Please continue to pray for the things below... I will update again probably tomorrow before I head across the strait...
