An outing with Spanish friends

A park by our Church
It's Saturday and I just back from a very short but somewhat hard run through a park right by our apartment. August is the hottest and slowest month of the year in Cáceres, Spain and very little goes on. Stores close for weeks at a time, half the city leaves to go on vacations and the people that are here usually stay in doors because of the heat. So needless to say it's been somewhat difficult figuring out what to do. I have been doing some city exploring and working on a few orientation assignments as well as informal language learning. However once September hits this will all change! The first week of September my team will be in the canary islands for a team retreat. Once we get back school will start up and I will be in language class full time getting my spanish on. With language comes relationships, my biggest prayer is that language will come quick to me and I will be aggressive in using what I learn for the purpose of making friends and contacts. I will most likely move into a dorm setting with Daniel in October for 3 or 4 months. This will most likely me a difficult experience as far as living goes but great for language learning and meeting university students. My prayer would be for divine appointments in the coming months and boldness in meeting and sharing with new people as the school year gets ready to begin.
