And it just gets better!

So I never mentioned but Kyle and Francis also got me a gift! We have an on going joke about stretchy pants because in Spain people tend to have an outfit for every activity and occasion. Biking outfits usually include stretchy tight spandex time pant that everyone wears regardless of age and fitness levels! Needless to say it can really shock you when you are taking a walk or driving by and BOOM, it kinda smacks you in the face. Anyways so I have been wanting to buy a mountain bike because there are cerros (bigger then a hill but not quite a mountain) that I love biking on. So... Kyle and Francis thought it would be great to prepare me for when I got my bike by getting me bright red stretchy bike shorts! It was pretty hilarious!

My 27th birthday in Spain!

This will be my first post on my part of the blog, and it happens to be on my birthday. I am not one to think a lot of birthdays, but it is my first in Spain and Ang and others here are already making it so special and fun. We started with Ang making me breakfast, and then Laura our language helper surprised us by showing up early for class with a cake and candles! Then as part of our language learning, we learned how to sing happy birthday in Spanish!

For lunch we got to go out to a local cafe with some new found friends who also are missionaries here in Spain. Kyle and Francis have been here about 8 months, and they have taken us in like family. We have been so blessed to see God's promises come true. He calls His children to leave house and home for Him and as hard as that is He has a way of providing exactly what you need wherever you go! Praise Him and His faithfulness!
