Today was a much colder day. I feel like it hasn't been as warm again as when we got here! But it should soon, and then I'm sure it will be really hot! In the mornings the sun doesn't come up until around 9 am, so it is still cold and windy, and definitely hard to get up when the sun isn't even out! Classes were okay today, kind of boring, but oh well. I'm taking Advanced classes in history of Spain, Spanish Art, Short Stories, and Grammar. I'm learning a lot in my grammar class, and it's nice and small, so it's okay if we don't get all the questions right, we just ask for help and my teacher will guide us. He's really nice, and understands that we still are learning a lot! This afternoon Carrie and I went running, then went to the store "Lefties", and a lot of their clothes are under 10 euros. I got a new sweater and tank top. Then we had our first "Encuentro" which is a praise and worship time in Spanish and English. It was nice to sing songs that we know in both languages, and have a time of worship in English! I really liked it! It was also fun to get out and see everyone outside of school, and spend some time in worship. After that we just went back to do homework. Nothing much today, although when us students were telling our professor about the store "lefties", he cannot pronounce it, so now he calls it "izquierdies" which is kind of saying lefties in spanish! It was really funny!

Verse for the day: I Corinthians 13:4-7 "Love is patient, it is not jealous or conceited or proud; love is not ill-mannered or selfish or irritable; love does not keep a record or wrongs; love is not happy with evil, but is happy with the truth. Love never gives up; and its faith, hope, and patience never fail."
