Hola from Mijas, Spain

It was a very long trip here! Our flight from Chicago to Munich was delayed so we missed our connecting flight to Madrid and didn't make it there until 6 in the evening. At 9:30 we got on a train to Malaga and were picked up there by Dave Hearn who is one of the leaders at G42. We arrived in Mijas around 1 a.m on Friday the 31st and stayed in the empty student housing for night. The travelling was a very trying experience, one we don't want to repeat any time soon but by God's grace we're here and focusing on the positive! Friday morning we got into our apartment which is very tiny and cute and we've spent the rest of the past 2 days exploring.

Yesterday it poured all day and I thought I was going to be swept down towards the sea with all the running water in the streets! Today there was sun and cloud but no rain so that was really nice to be able to see the village.
Prayer requests:
                          ~that the rest of our luggage makes it here very soon - we only have 1 of our 3 pieces and unfortunately it's my suitcase and not Dezmond's and we all know he's the messiest out of all of us and needs his stuff!
                          ~that we figure out how it's going to work for me to go to school as well - we came up with a possible plan this evening so we'll have to run it by the leaders and see what they think

Thanks for everything, your financial support and continued prayer!
