Well, It's Thanksgiving day and I'm awaiting a phone call from my family. I'm sad, but as one of my classmates said today, "It's so far away to even grasp that it's going on right now." Well, that's how I feel too. Although, I already talked to most of my family today and got sad when I thought about turkey, which I don't even like that much. Ha. Anyway, all is well here. We just had a weekend in Andalucia where we were in Sevilla: (It's Plaza Mayor that was closed)
and Granada. Both lovely but GRANADA took my breath away. Just beautiful. Here's some pics:
Nothing too exciting is going on. Class is still going well. Teachers are cool, classmates are civil (yet I find very negative). But that's real life I guess. Here's a pick of Salamanca's Plaza Mayor ( I walk through it everyday):
Time with God has been very good. I've really enjoyed the many things I've been into lately. I'm reading "Making Life Work" by Bill Hybels, and it's basically a book on Wisdom. It's all about Proverbs. Which is really good, in your face stuff. I've also been studying The first part of Hebrews and John, which are both awesome. I've met with Jo the woman on staff with GBU, and she's just sooo amazing. God has taught me so much through her in just the short time we've had. He's really incredible, our GOD. Wow.
Anyway, I come home in less than a month... as one could tell from my title. I'm excited. I hope, though, that I do take advantage of every moment here; currently I know that I don't always do that. But it's a choice you have to make every day: "Am I going to live this day in Spain or let Spain pass me by? Just thoughts.
Love you and Happy Thanksgiving!
