Hello again, good and faithful followers!
It has certainly been some time since my last entry, but I wanted to catch everyone up on what's been going on in Madrid! Above you will find an image out my apartment window, which is in the 18th story of a gigantic apartment complex.
First off, everything's great! I've settled into an apartment, found a single's ministry, made some contacts with the university, even begun to make a few friends ;)
I've been doing a lot of exploring as of late-- trying to really get a feel for the neighborhood, Spaniards in general, and what my life will entail for the next two years. This is very challenging, as it probably sounds. I've had interesting conversations with some people, gotten mad at others, and even thought about what it might be like to travel to other countries... such as Russia, France, Egypt, etc.
These will all happen in time.
I have been praying A LOT. About everything, literally. I'm still struggling with some aspects of adjusting, but for the most part things are falling into place. School starts on Monday, and I'm sure that will be a whirlwind. Still looking for a part-time job, whatever the Lord provides I'll take.

Yo Walter! Stopped by your blog and wanted to say hello :) I'm glad you're settling in and started building your new life. When I read "..for the next two years" it kicked me in the gut a little! While I already knew you'd be gone for that long, now that you're there it feels so much more permanent! Crazy. We must keep in touch. Also, how did you manage to get an apartment with the priest?! Haha, that seems so random. I've also never seen this religious side of you and I'm pretty curious about it. How are your classmates receiving you and is it difficult to learn in spanish?
