Ok. So, I write things and then afterwords I think of all these little things I want to say. So, I might do a list...
Today equals...
*The sweetest Southern Lady walked a couple miles to the store with me, explaining the Spanish things, and giving me my first cooking lesson! She even gave me a few tips on how to please my husband in more ways than one. Really.
*I didn't think I had blinds. And I don't. I have garage doors that slide over my windows as I pull a rope on the side. Really.
*Turns out, Spanish people love Olives. I think I do too.
*I like this meat called Chorizo. Its like a pepperoni. It makes my whole house smell like that when I open the fridge.
*I didn't shower today. I thought I was out of hot water. But actually, I unplugged the electrical/gas water heater instead of the toaster.
*I love the mornings in Spain. Weird for me huh?
*My windows are open 24/7. And its perfect.
*Every now and then when the wind blows, I smell Spain. It must be a flower mixed with an earthy smell. And I swear, I smell Spain on me too sometimes.
*I also read this thing today about how when people who are alone too much go crazy. I think I'm community often enough... hopefully : )
I overheard one of the missionaries say today that God doesn't bring you somewhere or through something that he won't use later.
Its all for a reason, and that's comforting to know... especially when things seem uncertain at times. He knows.
*I think if I do missions after college I want to work with Children. Its what makes me smile, and gives me energy.
Thats all of what I've been meaning to say.
p.s. Chocolate and Churros is a must. Just google it.

I think it's meant to be that we do missions together after you graduate.
I'm very serious. It would be amazing. I'm glad you agree! :) Love you. MK
Hey Sweetie Pie - I am AMAZED at what God is doing for you!!! Keeping your own little apartment and wait, wonder of wonders - you are learning to cook - spanish dishes even! I cannot wait to hear all about it and for you to come back with wonderful recipes for us to try. We can maybe include some in the church cookbook we are putting together. I would love that, with some pictures of where you are!! I know that smell! When we were in spain, I loved that earthy smell of nature and trees especially. Windows open, sun rising, faded colors of roof tiles and stucco that has been around forever - Praise God for his paintings of life. I love you - debi
