so i have been here for almost two weeks. things are starting to pick up and move faster. at the moment our courses are on nehemiah and leadership. we have started our outreach groups, which we will have to prepare a whole church service for. now looking at the weather, haha.... we had some crazy winds here the last little while, you might have even heard about it. it collapsed a soccer arena in barcelona killing the people inside. nothing as drastic as that happened here. a palm tree fell over, a stone wall collapsed and cemented signs were ripped up. we went out into the town of el campello the other night for gelato ice cream and a couple of days ago we went into the city of alicante and did some shopping. other then that life is just peaceful and swell. couldnt ask for a nicer place. it makes you stop and realize the beauty in Gods creation when you see the waves pounding on the shore and winds so strong it whips the sand like a moving blanket across the shore. unBelieVable and UnContainAble. i love it here

hello dearest
i arrived into rio vida on the morning on saturday with around 8 other people. we were the first in the school. lucky me i ended up in the same room as nikki, which actually is a good thing cause we share every piece of clothing. throughout the day students continued to arrive. the next day there was only a few students left to arrive and by that night all the girls in our room arrived. i am only a five minute walk from the beach and another 10 minutes to a supermercado. yesterday we went to the carrefour which is like a spanish walmart it was a lot of fun. spanish is coming back to me little by little, i love it here.

hello my darlings
im writting from a hostel in alicante. we arrived safley into heathrow airport at around 12 on the 15th from there we took a bus to gatwick and then to the hotel. we were exhausted and didnt move much after that other then to get food. but with the time change sleep didnt last very long and i was wide awake at 2 30 in the morning. We caught the 7 am flight from gatwick to alicante in the morning. We got a bus to our hostel in the center of alicante. We wandered aimlessley down a couple of streets with our rather large duffle bags, but we found it alright. We headed to the shopping district after that and then we found out that a couple of people from capernwray are staying at the same hostel. so we met up with them after dinner tonight. tomorrow we are getting picked up at 8 am to be taken to rio vida, and the biggest thing i am going to be grateful for is not having to take my oversize overweight bag around on wheelie suitcase that flips every time you hit a curb. goodnight my dears.
buen suenos
