18- a new bible study!

 Today, I went to a new bible study! Natalie told me about it a few weeks ago and it's lead by American and Spanish students. I was welcomed as I walked into the café. There were two guys there when I walked in, Fernando and Dani. Once more people came, we started reading from Romans 3, talking about being justified and saved by grace through Christ.

 We discussed it in three parts: observations, interpretations, and applications. I love that! We dug into the word and talked about how it applies to us. It was so good. I've missed doing bible studies filled with discussion and God's word. I talked to a sweet girl named Ana, who is from England and studying here. I had been texting her for a few weeks so I could meet her at the bible study. She was so excited to get to know me. I was so touched by how excited she was to meet me. 

 I'm so thankful for this bible study and I can't wait to go next week too! It was a good end to the day, especially after classes. I felt exhausted after receiving disappointing essay grades and sitting in classrooms all day. It was so good to be poured into by other believers.

 Kthnxbai!

VEINTE- ZUMBA

  After all of my classes for the day, I put on my sports bra, a Bama Wesley t-shirt, my work-out leggings, and my sneakers. Mari walked in from her last class of the day and started getting ready. Once we were both ready, we headed upstairs to dance.  I've been obsessed with Zumba since I was in high school. I went to the YMCA every morning to dance and sweat all summer after my sophomore year. I found an awesome class that was very similar but called "DaZe" at the University of Alabama. Now, we have an incredible instructor, Gabriela, who comes every Wednesday to the foundation so we can sweat and dance together. She really is an awesome instructor. She's got the energy and attitude when she dances. She is so fun and encouraging.  I am thankful for Zumba because it really is a great stress reliever. I get to have fun and pretend like I have sass and that I can dance well. All of my worries and stress disappear because my only worry is if I'm doing the curren...

twenty two: Arcadia

 On Friday morning, I walked to the Toledo train station and took the train to Madrid to take the train to Barcelona. The tickets were paid for by my study abroad program, Arcadia. Once I got picked up by my director, we went to the hostel, which was also taken care of by Arcadia. We went to the Arcadia center after dropping our luggage off at the hostel to listen to a lecture about politics and have lunch. After lunch, we went on a tour throughout Barcelona. We had free time after that, which was rainy but still fun.  I'm thankful for Arcadia. The directors I've met are so kind and engaging. It's so nice that I got to go on this trip that was already planned and paid for.  Kthnxbai!

dalawampu't tatlo- Kasarap

 A week ago, I was looking at the map of Barcelona to see what was around the place I would be staying, and I found a Filipino restaurant called, Kasarap. It was kind of far, but I looked at the menu and I got so excited about eating lumpia and sinigang! I had to go!  On Saturday, we had free time for the rest of the day after our tour that ended at a shopping center called Las Ramblas . I went to visit two amazing houses designed by Antoni Gaudí. After that, I set off to get dinner at this restaurant.  When I walked into the restaurant, I immediately smelled the aroma of fresh-cooked rice. It reminded me of being at my Lola and Lolo's house. There was a huge Filipino family sitting at a table with cake, celebrating a birthday. There were little kids running around and laughing. I sat at a table and ordered lumpia and pansit guisado. It came pretty quickly and was so warm and delicious. I was so happy. I told the ladies working there that it made me so happy and rem...
