You have been waiting a long time for this blog, but it is finally here. I don't have much excuse why I haven't written, besides the fact I've been enjoying life in Madrid.

Last Sunday, I woke up around 10am thinking to myself I didn't want to get up, I was still tired cause I stayed out really late. But around 10:25 my phone rang and it was this guy I met randomly downtown, and he asked for my number to hang out sometime. I gave it to him, having the idea that he will prob never call plus if he does, I won't have this number for long. He's from Cameroon and looks slightly homeless, but, I don't think he is.

Anyhow, he doesn't speak English so I had to talk to him in Spanish only. He asked if I wanted to hang out, I told him I was going to church and he could come if he wanted. I was surprised when he agreed, and I rushed to get ready, make a lunch  to go and run out the door to meet him, as I was late in waking up.

I met him at a metro stop and we chatted in Spanish till we reached the church. Now, the church I go to is in English, but the sermon is translated into Spanish through a headset thing. This church also likes to worship, so a lot of the service is singing. Well my friend Nicolas doesn't know any of the songs or what they mean, so I tried my best to translate as much as I could so he knows what we are singing about. I used so much Spanish, I thought my nose would start bleeding. Thankfully the service was translated to Spanish so I didn't have to do that. But, it must have been a bit boring cause Nicolas fell asleep, he did say he liked the church a lot and would come back again sometime.

After the service, all though young adults stayed and had a lunch together, after the lunch we had a short Bible study, it was nice to get to meet more young people that believe in Jesus.

After the Bible study, I rushed to meet this guy Alonso, who works at a photocopy shop near where I live. We went out and about around town, to parks and had ice cream. And again, I had to speak all in Spanish because he

doesn't speak English! Talk about improving my Spanish! WOW!
