"No hay nadie como tú, sólo Cristo. Moriste por mi en la cruz. Viviré para alabar..."
"There is no one like you, Christ alone. You died for me on the cross. I will live to praise you."
Church today was marvelous. The people have such a passion for Christ and for being living examples of his love in the world today. They are unbelievable welcoming to us as international students even though we are only here for four months. They constantly say that we are is the town of God, the church of God, the people of God regardless of where we are from. They have people from all over the world in this church. This is the way heaven will be! I want to stay longer than just four months! :)
We went out to lunch at a Chinese restaurant with the youth. It was terrific! We got to practice Spanish for hours upon hours! My brain hurt so badly afterwards though. It is really difficult to try to think in another language. It wears me out! :)
Things are going quite well here. God is so faithful. I spent time in prayer prior to Friday's class, just trying to refocus on what is important. That class was by far the best one yet. I started off the class by telling the teacher that I didn't understand one of the grammatical topics; she, of course, explained it, and it went spendidly from there. :)
Yesterday, we visited the Alhambra which was so beautiful. It is a Moorish castle built by the Muslims hundreds of years ago. Despite its age, it is in beautiful condition, and it unbelievably detailed with beautiful tile walls and ceilings. Check out my pictures on Facebook if you want to take a peek at this historical masterpiece. (Sounds convincing, doesn't it?) Here's one pic just to wet your appetite:
