Sorry for checking out for awhile…Again! I may not write every day this month, but I
think I am back to a little more regular schedule. 
I had a couple of firsts since being in Spain between
yesterday and today. Yesterday I lay
down for a 30-minute nap at 8:30pm and proceeded to sleep until around 9:30
this morning. I haven’t done that in as
long as I can remember! I only woke up
at 2:30am to several men yelling in the street below my window. Needless to say I was a little confused that
it wasn’t 9 pm. Ha, ha.
Yesterday evening I had a bit of a headache from spending
nine hours trying to understand Spanish at a worship seminar, and I think
between that, traveling last week, and moving earlier this one, I needed the
rest. It was great!!
So that was my 1st first. Now my second was basically sprinting to
catch the bus tonight with Becca after church.
Thankfully the bus driver waited a few extra seconds at the stop for us! J
Oh, wait. I just
remembered another first! At church on
Sunday we gather in small groups to pray at the end of the worship
service. Typically I gather with
English-speakers (who are working their way up to Spanish praying – as am I). Tonight I strategically, but unknowingly,
placed myself in an all Spanish-speaking, no-American group. Needless to say I was quite challenged in
needing to lead prayer in Spanish! They
were really gracious, and it gives me a definite goal to work towards. 
I wanted to show you a few pictures I took of my room in the
new apartment. My blanket is from
Morocco, where Becca and I took a trip last week! The even greater part is that I was able to purchase
it from the man who made it. How
cool. Also, the hen and chick plant I found
lying on my balcony made me smile – I think my mom would approve. J
