FEBRUARY
This hotel, in the heart of Germany, was the setting of a couples retreat that took the risk (!!!!) to invite my honey and I to lead the worship in February from 22nd-24th! Why was it a risk? Because we hadn´t lead worship in German since we left 17 years ago and it was a major challenge for us to get back into the German songs etc. God as always came shinning through our weakness and it was a time of real blessing.
We reconnected with a part of us that had been "dormant" all these years and also rekindled some very dear and precious relationships.
We were so happy that time allowed us the privilege to drive past the apartment we lived in 20 years ago during our 3 year stay in Germany! Our one bedroom apartment was right underneath the roof the two windows on the left in this house, which accommodated 4 other apartments and both a pharmacy and a bakery! Very practical right!!!
MARCH
March 1st National Day of Prayer in Madrid Centre and we were there... It was a powerful time.
Me and my dear friend with our dark sunglasses and prayerful hearts!!!
Paella Picnic in our back garden on Sat15th with Karen´s family (you have been praying for her mum who recently passed away) and my sister´s family... It was such a lovely day!
This is the Paella Dish that my wonderful hubby prepared on Thursday 20th for our Bernabé Team Meeting (a retreat we help organize for Pastors and S. American Missionaries working in Spain) together will all our kids.... 20 in total!
This is us after enjoying the Paella and fellowship in our back garden....(the kids had vanished!!!!)
Well just a little taste of some things we have been up to!

I can see that you've been up to good things! I remember you talking about the Germany trip earlier and I'm glad it went well.
Hey Ally,
Loved looking at these photos ! The paella picnic in your backyard looks wonderful ! What a great idea ... a paella picnic !!
I loved seeing your old apartment in Germany. What great fun it must have been for you to go back and see all the old places you used to live and hang out. AND even more special, to see people you haven't seen in some time !!!

Yes, what is Paella? How wonderful to be back and see old friends and places. Glad it's gone well.
Paella is a typical Spanish rice dish that you see in the photo made with various types of sea food. The rice takes on a yellow colour due to a famous seasoning called Azafran. We highly recommend it!.
What awesome pictures. I loved them. I thought it was great that you had that time to see where you used to live. There has been heaps going on. Paella looks so tasty - I've never tried any before, looks soooo good.
Thanks so much for sharing. I enjoyed looking at your photos! You've been busy girl!
Ally,
You have a life FULL of adventures, don't you? What a blessing to be able to minister in that way again, to go back and see things, and also celebrate with friends and family!
