Here is one from our day on an island in Greece! The 3 of us girls swam in the Mediterranean but T didn't join us. It was super warm once my body went numb, but hey I couldn't pass up this opportunity! I loved this trip so much and ate lots of delicious Greek food. The 4 of us had so much fun getting to know each other with lots of laughs.
Naturally, I got some major sun while staying on the Island of Tenerife. Here are the adventureres after a 4 hour hike through some rough terrain. I felt like I was in Pirates of the Caribbean and have some more great photos including 1 of a pirate ship! We had a blast that day. Carrying a backpack that day was a bit painful since my poor shoulders were scorched from the day before. I didn't reapply, not good for the Irish. However, I have received lots of compliments for how nice my skin looks now.
Here was our original group for this trip to Tenerife, but 2 girls had to leave a day early which was too bad. This was our first night together and check out this gorgeous sunset! Good times, great friends ;-)
Alright now getting back into the world of Oviedo. Let's explore a bit shall we...
So here we have a peacock! They just walk around Parque San Francisco which is so fun! I can't believe how close I've been able to get to them. I followed this one around for awhile.
Seriously this is not edited, this is for real. Here would be some lovely meat in our laundry room at my piso. Creepy, yes, normal, well here it is. I try not to go back there too often.
Here is the famous Parque Invierno= Winter Park that is right behind my piso. This is where I experienced being a superhero these past few days. Lately, I've been sleeping so much and have been sorely lacking in energy. So I've been praying and have asked others to pray for me that I would have energy. Well boy oh boy does God choose to work supernaturally in our lives. On Friday I finally went running and ran 5.5 miles, no ipod, solo, without stopping and felt incredible. I can't explain how this happened without giving all the credit to God. Today I ran another 5 miles! Now that I'm sore I realize I need to cool it for a little bit, but don't doubt that God would provide again. He's incredible! Don't ever give up because He never does!
If you haven't seen Wolverine you better get going now. Seriously, why are you still reading this get out and see it, NOW! I so enjoyed seeing this in Spanish with my friend B. It was a bit challenging finding an ad on the net for this in Spanish but here we have it. Alright just a few more pictures!
Here is the University of Oviedo the Milan campus. This series also includes a couple more pictures of the park behind my piso. I just love the mountains so much especially after having lived in Colorado for a summer. Right now the rain is pouring down so I'm glad that I got out and ran earlier this afternoon while it was super warm and sunny. Thank you everyone for all your prayers for me while I've been here. Thank you as you continue! I went to church last night with my friends and God surprised me again by how He works supernaturally through me so that I understand what I hear like English when I'm at church. It's incredible! Last night our message was about living and laboring among the lost and getting out and being with the world that we are in but not of.
Jhn 17:16 | They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. |
1 Corinthains 9:24-27 "Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. 25Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. 26Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air. 27No,I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.
Hasta Luego ;-)
