Today is a good day

Right now I want to count my blessings.


This weekend was really rough. The group went out to Tapas(drinks and small sandwich portions), but I had to go home in the middle because I was nauseous. Then, Saturday night we were supposed to meet to celebrate Aaron's birthday with cake and happiness, but there was a miscommunication and I wandered around town for an hour trying to find everyone and never did so I went home and watched TV until Preston came back. It was bad. But! As titled, today is a good day.


My blessings:
-I just got an e-mail from dad telling me about 4th of July celebrations and encouraging me.
-It's Independence Day! And what a great country it celebrates.
-I read the comments on the last blog entry which reminded me of friends and support from back home.
-Last night I went out for helado(ice cream) with Karen after mass.
-Even though I missed the birthday party, Preston and I hung out and studied till 2 in the morning.
-Even though I spent 6 hours studying on Saturday(at least) and more on Sunday, I now know the history of Spain very well. Its kings, its governments, its artistic movements, and more.
-I have met a lot of new friends on this trip: Molly, Alyssa, Caleb, Preston, Jackie, Cait, Emily, Courtney, Isabella, Aaron, Andrew, Samantha, Jessie, and Emily G. all of whom I could go on about.
-I've gotten to see a ton of beautiful churches and countryside and live in a spanish city for 6 weeks
-Sra. Pites has been a joy, despite the work. She has a lot of faith in us and always wants to encourage us.
-the food is great! (as long as I don't have a stomach ache) :)
-I still have two more weeks in Europe after this one.
-Assuming I can get tickets, I'll see Deathly Hallows pt. 2 seven hours before my friends back home
-Thursday Bible Studies
-my 22nd birthday
-lots of correspondence with home
-magdalenas (little muffin things we get at breakfast to take to school and eat on breaks)


I'm sure there are many more, but I'll be late for lunch.


¡A-Dios! y gracias a Él por todo.
