Top ten things I've learned so far: 10. The sense of style here in Spain is far different than my own. 9. Spaniards love wine and beer so much, it is often included in meals. 8. Walking is a way of life. 7. If you want to get something done, do it in person. Also, be persistent. 6. Poison. Ivy. Sucks. 5. I can buy a loaf of bread from the store by myself! As long as I practice my lines beforehand... 4. Being organized is a good thing. According to Lola, it is something all people should learn. 3. I actually can walk alone for 10-15 minutes and not be bothered by anyone. (Shout out to you, Mom...and Joel...and anyone else who is worrying). 2. Something will probably go wrong, and you just need to go with it. And finally, 1. God will use me even when I'm lost, confused, sad, missing home, and feeling inadequate. There will also always be opportunities to talk about my faith as long as I am bold. And...I'm not alone here, even though it feels like it. He is always with me, and that is comfort enough!
