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.

28. Thanksgiving

 I'm thankful for this Thanksgiving meal we had tonight! We had a fun time singing karaoke (Yes, I actually did sing), then we went to the cafeteria for a special Thanksgiving meal. It really was something special. Each table had a candle and a pretty tablecloth. There was a turkey as a centerpiece that had sparklers and they went off went we walked in. It was so fancy and fun!  We had turkey, dressing, potato purée, green beans, bread, and apple tart. I also got a bit of traditional Spanish food, including pasta and tortilla de patatas . It wasn't the same as having Thanksgiving at home, but I'm so thankful for all the hard work they put into making us feel at home with this special dinner. It was so sweet!  Me and my friend, Inés!   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!
