Good bye & Hola!

Hola de Espana! I am so happy to say that I am writing to you from Spain. I arrived a few days ago in Madrid. It was bitter sweet to say good bye to my friends and loved ones including my home church family but I know I will see them all again soon. I am blessed beyond measure by my support team back in the States. They have prayed, encouraged and walked with me to this very point.

Since I have arrived, I have been resting and adjusting to the time difference (9+). I also have been able "practicar" my Spanish a lot with the women I am staying with. The team and people here are so very welcoming. I am very excited to continue to meet more people as I settle into my new home.

I am so thankful to be here and believe God has called me here as such a time as this. Only He knows what lies ahead of this year!
