Well, I'm here.

Just wanted to write a short post telling everyone that I have made it to Malaga Spain safely. Things have went well this first day. I tried to stay awake besides the three hour nap that kind of happened accidently. Now, its almost nine and I'm trying to find something to do in order to keep myself up as long as I can. No one likes waking up in the middle of the night...

I have a cute little apartment of my own here in Malaga. These are a few pictures of the place and a couple pictures that show my view outside my window. I feel a little alone right now. Everyone is married and have their own houses. I can see the missionary couple's apartment that are kind of looking out for me. Its probably a five minute walk and across the highway. Already though, there is this feeling of, "Oh, yeah I am the only single one." I think it should be good. I really do want God to teach me to be independent (but safe, don't worry mom) in other cultures with Jesus as my protector. I think its easy to say I want to be married and try to use my husband as the protector and provider and comforter. I mean, I'm sure he will do those things one day. But I think its good for me to see that God can also be that. And actually, he will do a far better job than any man. 

Ok, tomorrow I start orientation. So far, you guessed it. I love Spain. I just like the smell. Its this weird mix of earth, flowers, dirt, and then city. I love it. The houses are beautiful. I like the sounds of the school children outside my window and the motorcycles. Kind of like India : ) I don't think there is as much honking though. 

Thanks guys. I'd love your prayers and comments!
