My creation, originally uploaded by papalars.

I mentioned I´d tell a story about Fabio. Well, here is a teaser that I will fill in later. Need to hit the hay and get ready for Carol to come home. Maybe do a little more cleaning than Erick and I have grown accustomed to. We´ve been good. Just don´t know if it's good enough. Most guys understand me. We aim at efficiency sometimes more than cleanliness. I mean why dirty all the dishes when you can be more efficient and save energy circulating the same dishes from the sink to the table. Also, we are not at risk from airborne diseases in our bathroom just because I don't clean the toilet or squeegee the shower everyday.

Remember though. Check back. There is more to come. These are people I have had the privilege of getting to know almost since the day we arrived back in September. It is our ¨United Nations¨ group and there is a specific effort to gather these people together in a cell group. This is part of the Covenant´s "esparcidos" (which means literally "spread out" but may be more akin to the sense of the non-resident aliens, or diaspora). The new Covenant Church in La Coruña, Spain in the northwest corner of the country, where Rob and Nancy Reed serve, have been a big part of launching this group.

So far I´ve counted people from Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Spain of course, Italy, Angola, Cameron, Germany, Ireland, Kenya, Sweden, France and Carol and I from the US. So, what do all these people have in common? And who is Fabio? Stay tuned.
