NOVEMBER 2026

Thanks for your prayers for us during these difficult times. We are grateful to God for his sustaining strength although we are aware we are still weary even after a week away with Cristina's mum in the coast.  It was good to get away and have a change of scenery and just rest, read, walk eat and sleep! Recently we've had a number of birthday celebrations and we realise we're out of practice with the late nights!!
 
We've now returned to some of our weekly activities whilst trying to support  Cristina's mum in this time of transition as she adapts to a new life.  For her that meant coming along to the English exchange Cristina runs this week for the first time.  It was lovely to see how she was welcomed despite her more senior age!  Tomorrow she has her first Spanish lesson with Rachel who comes along to the English exchange meetings and has been quite vulnerable about her own loneliness and shattered dreams.  Please for opportunities for Cristina's mum.
 
This Friday (tomorrow) we have the first English evening of this academic year in our house.  There are many new people who have arrived in the last 6 months so please pray for good conversations and opportunities to get to know these people better. 
 
On Saturday lunchtime we have the people over who cared for Cristina's parents over the summer.  We tried a couple of times to do it before but Cristina's Dad's health prevented it.  So please pray for Manuel, Jesus, Cristina, Sonia and Isi that there'll be opportunities to say more about our hope in Jesus. 
 
This morning we have had a time off prayer and reflection looking at Ephesians 1 as our focus.  It's good to remind ourselves of the importance of fixing our eyes on God's character, power and grace to us especially at challenging times like this. 
 
Next Saturday we will also have the women's evangelistic breakfast.  We have decided to not do a Thanksgiving meal this year but instead we're considering a Christmas party with evangelistic content for those that come to the English exchange. 
 
Over the coming months we want to invest more time with individuals who have been drawing close and been impacted by the funeral.  Please continue to pray for Lolo, Ana, Zac, Sonia and Rachel  as well as the others we've mentioned.
 
With Love in Jesus,
 
Terry and Cristina
