Well, this is our last day in LA before flying home tomorrow. We started our day by grabbing a quick breakfast and then headed off for Paul & Francy's office where the intercessors meet every week.
They asked Vel and I to share the word - what an awesome
morning it was! On arrival we got out of our car to the sound of awesome worship and prayer.
At the end of the meeting, they asked us to pray for the intercessors - this was our absolute pleasure as we saw God doing great things in the lives of these wonderful, faithful servants!
After lunch, we then came back to the Hotel and Vel was offered a complimentary Spa by the hotel - she accepted and chose the 'Hot Stones' massage'.
Vel writes:
'This was the most relaxing, state-of -the-art spa that I have ever had. The service, ambience, changing room was typical of this type of resort. This has been the most awesome holiday
experience. Though I had an accident, we have not been robbed of this God given opportunity.'
Esther writes:
'We had a really great ending to our holiday in the pool and Jacuzzi and we prayed and gave thanks to God for giving us 
a wonderful holiday. We pray that God gives us a safe journey back home to England.'
Lisha writes:
'Tonight was our last night to enjoy this luxurious hotel. As soon as we arrived back from dinner, with excitement we went straight down to the pool to catch the last hour of swimming
before it closed at 10.00pm'
'All four of us ended up in the Jacuzzi and we spent time praying and giving God thanks for this opportunity and I hope that we will have a lot to bring back to our local church from this experience. I do not want to leave LA, but I am missing everyone.'
Steve writes:
'The whole team took us out for an evening meal at a wonderful Chinese Restaurant, and then we quickly went to a shoe shop to get Velisha the promised shoes - another high-heeled pair of shoes.'
'We arrived back at our hotel and decided to have our final swim, as the pool would be open until 10.00pm. Once again, when we arrived at the outdoor pool, there was nobody else using the facilities, so we had the entire pool and Jacuzzi to ourselves - wow!'
'Vel and I used this time to reflect on what has been an awesome holiday but equally a great time serving our Chinese brothers and sisters. This holiday really sums up our lives. 'Give and it shall be given back to you, pressed down, shaken together and overflowing.'
'We so thank God for Paul and Francy and the whole 'Melody of My H
eart' team! God has brought some incredible people into our lives for this particular season.'
'To end our holiday, it was a beautiful experience just looking up into the quiet sky and loudly giving God thanks for this wonderful time in LA, USA.'
'We invited the girls to offer up thanksgiving prayers and then Vel and I gave God thanks for the end, and yet, what seems to be like the beginning of a new season for the Thompsons.'
