Well friends...I made it! After a long 10 hour ordeal filled with babies crying, American girls loudly smacking their gum, and judgmental French ladies behind me, I arrived in lovely Galicia, Spain. Just some clarification....I live in the city of Naron, which is right next door to Ferrol, and all are in the province of La Coruna...which is in the region of Galicia. The Spanish seem to like to specify where things are.
I live in a little house with 2 other girls, one from Tennessee and one from England. There will be other people coming to live with us soon as well, one more permanent and others for a night or two. The food here is great so far...and not too much different from the States, really...except for the wonderful taste of non-processing. :)
I don't really know much yet...except that I don't know as much Spanish as I thought. But I'm also very low on my Spanish confidence right now. I'll get it back eventually. I was also told that this church we're working with is the only one in the region....and there's more than 35,000 people here. That's what I read when I was researching this area too....that Galicia has next to no Christians. Most are non practicing Catholics, or don't care about religion at all.
Well...I'm on a break now, but Trevor and Manoli (the missionaries) will be here soon and we'll go over more houserules and things to know. I will update this blog as often as I can! The internet's pretty decent here...so email me if you wish. :)
