Spain Day 1

Hello from Spain. It still hasnt quite sunk in that I am actually here. But I am kinda homesick already. I think it would have been a lot easier if I were traveling with people I knew but its a totally different place with new faces and its kinda scary but at the same time I feel kinda comfortable here. Tim Wendel the missionary that I will be working with here has made this alot easier for me. He's very welcoming and open and he's family is just as welcoming. Jared, the other student who is here is pretty nice. Kinda quiet but REALLY tall.

haha here is my first picture in Spain. Sadly this is my only picture because we havent really gone anywhere but to our host families houses.

So the flight from Seattle to DC wasnt too bad. I sat next to this really nice guy from Redmond who was going to DC for business. The flight is always better when you can talk to someone. He was telling me all the traveling he did when he was younger. So it was a nice flight. However my next connection from DC to Madrid was 6 hours and oh man, it felt like the longest flight I've ever been on. I think i may have taken one too many Dramamine pills so i kept knocking out. and then once I got to Madrid, it took forever for my bags to come. They came eventually and I met up with Tim and Jared.

First we went to grab a bit to eat, then Tim took us to the Global Ventures Office where we will be spending alot of our time there working with the English Camp. I am really excited for the next couple of weeks where God will just be working in this program and just really guiding me and challenging me. but for now, I just wanted to let everyone back home know that I am safely here.
