June Flies

Alright, so that one just flew right on by... and I've never seen so many flies in my entire life. I mean, it doesn't help that we are kind of out in the country, but man oh man are they terrible. So, anyway. Let's see here. We have been to Cordoba and Granada already. Super fun trips. We saw La Mezquita (the mosque) in Cordoba and went to La Alhambra in Granada. Otherwise, we have pretty much just been hanging out here.

For my birthday we went to Taco Bell. It was about 5 days before my birthday, but that was when we could find time. They just put a new Taco Bell in one of the malls in Malaga. It was a fun little gift from God. A nice little taste of home :) Well worth the wait.

Lately, we have had camps coming and going on the same day. There was a church here from Algeciras starting on the 24th of June. They left on the 27th I think, right after people from the Frontiers group started to arrive. We had zero time to clean the bathrooms and the dorms before they got here, but it was fine because we just did not let them move in until we had everything cleaned. So the missionaries with Frontiers (most of them are missionaries in North Africa/Morocco) are here until Sunday after breakfast, but a kids camp comes before lunch on Sunday. I think they are here for a week and then we have a 24 hour break before the next camp comes.

Throughout all the craziness, however, we did find time to have a celebration on my birthday. Sue made me some wonderful cherry pie, and since the other girls don't like cherry pie she made an apple pie too. They have been so good to me, I really couldn't ask for more. Even after taking us out to Taco Bell for my birthday, they got me some peach rings AND a really cute belt I had my eye on one day at Blanco. Sue remembered which belt it was and bought it for me, knowing that I wouldn't have bought it for myself. Those are my FAVORITE kinds of gifts :)

Monday is the fourth of July, which we all completely forgot about until about two days ago (being in Spain and all). Kaylee, Anna, and I are going to have the day off even though we have a camp that day. Sue and Glenn are sending us to the Malaga Media Center for a tour (it's kind of like the ministry center for all of southern Spain) and then we are joining them for a fourth of July barbecue. After lunch we are heading in to downtown Malaga where we will probably be doing some shopping. And by we I mean Kaylee and Anna, since I have zero room in my suitcases.
