Beginning of Week 2

So here we have this one chocolate called milka and it is amazing… everyone has some form of chocolate or candy here… it kinda sucks. The weather is pretty chilly during the morning, but it warms up a bit in the after noon… yesterday the hot water heater broke and so we have no heat or hot water for showers. It is not good. And people are getting sick which is really not good. One guy has tonsillitis and the other has a bad cold…. No heat doesn’t help.

I love how cheap everything is here. Food is our big buy because we get so hungry during class so on break we all go snack. Luckily it is fairly inexpensive, but it does add up. 

The time is starting to fly by.

Week one :)

I have officially been here one week. It doesn't feel that long at all. The weather has been cool up until today... its so warm. We are able to wear shorts and t-shirts.

I have learnt so much this week. We learnt where the Bible came from, (how we got it), we learnt how to study the Bible and what questions to ask. And then we started studying the book of Philippians. We have also done a few prayer walks and spent some time together as a family.

The beach is so beautiful. I spent all siesta there. It was cool but so beautiful. I miss my people but I know this is going to be absolutely amazing.

The country of Spain is very unique. It has the highest divorce rate, the worst economy, and the highest unemployment rate in all of Europe. We say a guy roller blading by in just a thong on the beach. It was a shocking sight. there are all kinds here.

The food so far has been amazing but really healthy. My roommates are a blessing to me.

Right now we are off to the Alicante Castle for the day so I am so excited. I will keep you posted as time goes on.

In Spain day 1

So I got lost in the airport for 2 hrs, and cried until the guy found me then I cried again cuz I was so happy. School is good I'm in a room of 5 but we get along well. Its near the beach and we had a blast. the weather is nice...And I met my family and it was amazing... I hadn't seen my cousins since I was three... they are so excepting. My two cousins went to go visit me but i was sleeping... it kinda sucked but I will see them when I go back.

Here I go!!!

I am in the airport waiting to board my plane... Im nervous and excited all at the same time. I said good-bye to my family, it was sad, mom, em and I all cried. It will be crazy when i come home but Ive been told it will go by so fast... I hope not too fast ;)... Here's to a new adventure!

3 days to go...

For the most part I am packed. I have a few odds and ends to pack up, and some stuff that I will be using for the next few days. Other than that I am ready. I have 2 suitcases, and both are over 40 pounds, one is 40lbs exactly, and the other is 48.7lbs. I really hope i m allowed 50lbs suitcase or Im going to have fun trying to decide what is not a necessity. It will be an interesting expeiance living out of suitcases for 4 and 1/2 months.

 Physically I am (almost) ready, but it still doesn't feel real. But I guess reality will hit soon.

Before I leave...

So I asked a few people if it would be completely dorky to do a blog, and my answers were I should do it, and "yea do it" so I guess I will. :)
 I'm leaving on thursday so it is coming crazy fast... and I still have to pack. Oh well all in good time I guess. I am really nervous, yet extremely excited as well. I have been talking about going for a year, and now its finally here.  Oh well, I will keep you posted as to what will come.
