My Surprise!

I woke up after Bataplan at about 4 in the afternoon.... i ate and then matie got up... and we just layed around... then she told me we were going to have dinner with some of her friends... whom i have not met... so i was like okay... and a little irrated... kind of... kind of not... just like oh okay.... but then we went... she doesn´t really know where she lives... finally we make it to the house... the person answeres the door... and but was like hiding behind it... so i was like... okay weird friend... but sure enough on the couch was miren and behind the door was Paula!!!! and coming soon... who i guess maite saw miss the bus... was leire!!! WHAT A WONDERFUL SURPRISE!!!! We went out to eat dinner... just talked about life... and a little bit about missing families in america and things like that... after dinner... we we took the bus back by where maite was... and then we went to some bars to hang out... and dance...but it was hard because me and maite would run into our friends then paula and miren with their friends... so we split up after a while becuse it was too difficult... but it was a really nice time hanging out with them and such! Then the next day... They had this huge lunch with all of maite´s friends and their parents so there were like a total of 60 people eating lunch together... it was crazy but a lot of fun!! it was also the last day of Grande Semana!! so at night we went out for a little bit.. but maite... was kind of in a bad mood! so we went home earlier... then expected... So for those of you praying... it was would be awesome for you to pray for maite... and continue to pray for me and my relationships with people here and my relationship with God!!

Today I went to Geralds for Bible study... well actually we walked over to Deryks because his wife is gone and he has all the kids! so it was a really good time with Gerald and his family and Deryk and his family... then also Ana Sancho... who is a Basque Christian that i actually met 3 years ago... then another girl living here... and also... Lana... a girl who was apart of the American Kuadrilla!! so it was a good time getting into the word and praying for eachother... It has been really awesome for me to really be able to lean on God in a whole new way and in a way that i have never done before and totally trusting in him and giving him my all...My Faith and my relationship with Christ has grown much stronger... it really has been amazing!!! Thanks again for prayers... Have a marvelous day!
