It has been a week since I arrived in Spain, yet it seems like I have been here forever!

The transition has been much easier than last year since I am already familiar with life in this city. I have been blessed with amazing roommates who are seeking God. It is wonderful to get to share this year with other godly girls who I know will become good friends and who will challenge and encourage me throughout this year. They are both Spanish and speak no English, so it is a great opportunity for me to learn and practice!

This week was my first week of teaching, and it’s going well! Each child is unique and I am looking forward to getting to know them all this year. I work with another teacher who is an incredible example to me in how she interacts with the students and challenges me to strive to improve. The way that she demonstrates love to these kids is inspiring. I desire for the love of Christ to overflow from me into the lives of those around me.

Please pray for:

• A sensitive and open heart to hear the Holy Spirit’s leading
• Continued opportunities to build relationship with Spaniards
• For grace and patience with teaching

Thank you for your support, prayers, and encouragement as I continue on this adventure! I know that God has mighty things in store for this year!

God Bless!
