"Como se de se 'how'?"




Buenos norches!!!

After a blogging sabbatical, I have returned to tell of my time in Espania! Si, I arrived yesterday with smooth baggage checking, collecting, and transporting which is always an issue of mine. Today however, some of the staff and I ran, not a joke, actually ran to the beach which only is a two minute run, where would catch the tram to go adventuring into the city. We missed the tram ride, but I was able to walk on the sand, touch the water, and stand in awe with an uncontainable smile at the beauty of this country. The sun had set and a painting of pastels swept the sky with mountains protruding so gently against the Mediterranean. We then walked back to Rio Vida where we went outback to the orange tree, picked a few, and was in citrus heaven for a few minutes. My eagles nest hammock made the long journey and was happy to spread out on one of the many patios off the house. She held me while I took a serious siesta, made a wish on the first star I saw tonight, and then came out to update my loves on the beautiful day I had. I am really practicing Spanish here, many of the staff speak it, and I pray it starts to flow a lot better than the stage I am at now. Bible School students arrive in two days, and I am so excited to see how the Lord will use, pour in, and help me to pour out during this time in Spain. Oh, and after some wise council, I booked my ticket home today, so now worries, I will be back April 1. Seriously, no joke. Thank you to all of your encouragement, love, and support. I have fallen in love yet again with another European city, culture, and our Creator is to receive all the praise for allowing me to see how His plan is far beyond any greatness we can fathom.

Adios and cheers!
