If you read in far enough, you may win a prize!

Yes, I was trying to get your attention. 
We wanted to update you on how we are doing threefold; as 'THE BONDI'S'; SPIRITUALLY; and FINANCIALLY.
1.  As the Bondi's we are making it.  Yesterday we took the train to Malaga to visit a real castle!  This being our first time in Europe; it hit me that seeing a castle was a first for all of us.  I have posted some pictures of our awesome day in the pictures tab on the right.  It was really a blessing to be healthy and able to take a day off to see more of God's creation.  We really needed a day together to have fun and not be so serious. So if you can guess the name of the castle we visited, you will be sent some CHOCOLATE from Europe.  It's way better than the states.  We know; we have eaten quite a bit.  So, comment below and the first peson to correctly name the castle we visited will be mailed this yummy PRIZE.

2.  SpirtiAwha?!  How are we doing in our walk with God.  Our relationship with the Creator.  Denise is writing so she will share first.  I cannot sit here and type that every day I wake up and smile about the beautiful ocean and the sun and the smaller share of chores I have to do because of the small space I live in.  My children and I are definitely feeling the CHANGE we made in our life.  Until these last few days, I had forgotten that there was a PLAN for me here.  Not just a big important plan for Mike, but also one of equal importance for ME.  I was made the mom of these three children and that means I am the best mom for them.  I do not have to do it on my own strength, but I can count on God to get me through each day.
     Mike has an upcoming paper/presentation he will be doing on his vision.  He has been challenged on his beliefs and why he believes them.  But God answers those who seek Him.  Through the Bible and prayer Mike has been mandated to use his gifts to feed people both physically and spiritually.  These gifts will best be used, as he shared with me just now, with his wife and family beside him.  Mike told me that he is seeing how important our family as as team can serve God together; not just Mike alone.  Mike continues to speak with prospective ministries as to how we may partner with them and serve the Lord as the Bondi family.

3.  Thank you for reading this far.  As you know, we are here by FAITH.  God has provided for our needs so far by sending along many people who have given generously.  These gifts have gotten us here to Spain and met our needs so far.  But we are not yet funded at 100% to make it through June and back home again.  Would you consider partnering with us by monthly donations or any gift in which you feel led to give?Any kind of financial gift allows us to stay in Spain until training is finished and we move on to the purpose that He has for us which will be completed.
*Isaiah 55:11 the Lord says, "So is my word that goes from my mouth: it will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it."
We miss you and please know that your thoughts, words and prayers strengthen us daily.
