Walking on the Camino is an international affair I met people from Canada, Brazil, Michigan, The Netherlands, South Korea, Lithuania, New Orleans, Buffalo (that’s in New York) South Florida, Mexico, West Virginia, United Kingdom and several from Germany.

A common conversation starter is, “where are you from?” When I say I’m from the US, I’m usually asked which part because everyone knows the IS is much larger than most other countries.

I’ve already had very interesting, meaningful conversations, which is what an introvert like I prefer. A German told about his wife of over 40 years committing suicide because she feared getting old, a young Dutch woman (The Netherlands) with a beautiful testimony of finding Jesus after she’d tried New Age, spirits, and found herself in a really dark place. She found the Gospel to be VERY GOOD NEWS.

Today a guy spoke to me, I really didn’t want a big conversation with him because he seemed to upbeat for me! But nevertheless, we walked and talked for almost two hours. He told me about his old mother who is very depressed but stoic. Only a few years ago to he learn that she came home from elementary school to see that her father had hanged himself!! He also interestingly told me about a long conversation he had last night with some Spanish people who are enthusiastically sharing the Gospel, as a result of the Dutch group connected to the young lady I mentioned above. As a troop that conversation, Chris is more receptive to Christianity.

as you go to church tomorrow, would you remember to pray for these people I’ve met, Chris needs Christ, Soonkl from South Korea admits to being more open to spiritual things as a result of the Camino and several Camino Pilgrims who are aching and hobbling as a result of so much walking.

As for me, I’m tired, exhausted, but no injuries or blisters!
