Ten days have passed since we updated and it really really feels like it's been only three days! This update is coming from the comfort of our own home as the internet/phone was installed today during lunch!

Since last updating we had a four day weekend which included my birthday last Friday. Steve and I left Dezmond with our friends Matt and Christina for a few hours and took the bus and then train to Plaza Mayor which is a shopping area between here and Malaga. We mainly went for the McDonalds but did a tiny bit of shopping as well at the outlet mall there. That evening was tapas (which I took pictures of to show what it is but they're on the built-in memory of our camera and we have no camera cord to get them onto our computer so they'll come at a later date!) and after tapas a bunch of people came to our apartment and surprised me with a party! It was so much fun and I always have this thought that my birthdays away from home are going to be a little sad because no one really knows about it or knows me that well yet but I was surprised and blessed by everyone!

This week has been rainy and chilly with small spurts of brilliant sunlight. Our classes have been with Andrew Shearman who is the founder of G42. He had a lot to share about being equipped to be a leader, and what organizations/ministries/businesses that we start should look like among many, many other things. Lots of amazing stories of things he's experienced in his lifetime as well as a passion and energy to see us start things for God's glory and to train others in the things we're learning.

We had classes today which we usually don't on Fridays so our schedule is a little out of whack. We have tapas tonight (I haven't made anything yet but had a wonderful time searching for recipes from HOME!!) and have no plans for the rest of the weekend! The forecast says sun but we don't believe it - it changes hourly, so it's a little hard to believe!

Thanks for reading and I hope you all have wonderful weekends filled with joy wherever you are!
