The Mayer Family

Let’s start with the most recent.

This past weekend Kevin flew to Barcelona for a meeting of Mennonite pastors and leaders in Spain. There were about 20 people at the meeting. He really enjoyed getting to know them, and we are looking forward to working together with them in the future.

Kevin was able to see some of the city while he was there. This is the Sagrada Familia, Gaudi's remarkable, unfinished cathedral.

The kids and I stayed home. We enjoyed meeting some friends and their children at the playground one day, and attending worship Sunday morning.

The week before, Kevin went with his friend Miguel on one of their long all-day hikes into the wilderness, and they had a great time together.

So those are some things we’ve been doing. Now back to the present…and a little on how we’re feeling. Well, a little discouraged at times to be honest. There are many personal day-to-day things and happenings in our lives that we don’t talk about on the blog, but let’s just say that this has definitely been the hardest year of our lives by far. We’ve also gone deeper with God, and so we don’t regret it. But if you feel God asking you to pray for us, we would be grateful.
