HoT fIsH...

This past week was probably one of the most interesting weeks of my life. I was accident prone, hit the language barrier head on, and was curious to learn the life of a Spaniard.
The week began with one of the best church services I have ever been in. I walked away so encouraged and just full of joy! The worship lasted an hour and a half, with a list of songs projected on the wall. Various people in the congregation would shout out a number and the entire church would begin to sing. During this time as well, people would stand and share what God has been doing in their lives. It was neat to reflect alongside these people about all the good that God has done.
From there we went on a scavenger hunt all around the city of Sevilla. We walked altogether about 15 miles that day. It took hours, but they were hours full of laughter and joy and me tripping over everything! Which in turn brings me to the fact that I sprained my ankle, but it will be okay! I have faith in that!
Wednesday also brought around some hilarious injuries when I gave myself a black chin with the belt buckle on my coat. I laughed for awhile at myself. When I told my host mom what I had done, she laughed so hard that she had to sit down...part of that also could have been the fact that i had to reinact certain parts of the story since I don´t know all of the words in Spanish! But, esta bien!
Wednesday also brought with it a late dinner after Encuentro. It consisted of a tortilla sandwhich with veggies, a banana, and water. This was followed with left over fish and peas from lunch since I mistakenly told my Senora that I would eat them then. I went to bed with quite the stomach ache!
God definitely showed me once again that He has an amazing sense of humor! All of my mishaps have kept me on my toes, but I am doing well and adjusting at a pretty good pace.
Three things I have learned from the past week are this:
1. look down when walking instead of up, this prevents sprained ankles
2. try and avoid emergency rooms in Spain at all costs
3. acting is not my strongest point

Today begins flamenco lessons at the school. I am excited to see how this goes. It might be hard at first with a bum ankle put I take comfort in the fact that Cody hasn´t broken anything and dances worse than I do!haha I am sure that there will be some great stories to come from this class!
