Well...Only 15 days until my mom comes! I'm very excited that I can see the end of this trip. I am so thankful for this amazing oppurtunity to live abroad. It's been absolutly a learning experience every sense of the word.

I got to exprience the mountains of Spain. Sierra Nevadas! Their aren't trees on the mountains, which was odd, and there was roads through all the paths. A bit different, but still amazing to get out into the fresh air! I also met a friend of a friend. In Spain. Then we found out we had lots of the same friends. It's the small world moments when I realize that God's really got our backs. I have no doubt in my mind that His hand was over that moment. Super special when your in another country alone, just to be able to share the joys of HOME. We decided that we live the best state. We were asked, "Do you think you'll ever live outside of Colorado?" We both said "NO!!" Then we went on and on about how simply AMAZING our state is. Home is home, and knowing how sweet it is reminds me that we are eternal beings. I am comforted by the thought that I get to go home to my Father. Okay, that was a detour that I wasn't planning. So back to the Owensentures.

I have been taking private lessons this week. It's been good...but I feel as if my classroom learning is coming to an end. Which is good timing seeing as I have 2 weeks left. So my teacher asked and we will go over all the things that I have doubts about. Perfect way to end!

I don't have any spectacular plans for the last half of this week.

Spiritually speaking, I have been oddly touched by the morning's new light. It has been amazing to wake up and feel the fresh cool air, and the new pure light. After a long hot day of 108 and the long night of yells of drunk people...it's so nice to have the purity of the new day. Like our souls, the purity of a new day. The forgiveness of our merciful Lord. And I'll tell you what, I need it. My stubborness is outstanding. I know that God is breaking that out of me. I know that love is the ultimate. Learning everyday what love is...I think it took the longest to untrain my thinking of what I thought love was. Romance isn't it...

Well, this has been a successfully random blog of my rambling. I'll get at least one more in this month before I head back the the wonderful USA.

Adios.
