snazzz... so life here is pretty much amazing. i started classes yesterday (community service and womens d) i have galatians/ephesians today at 12:30 and im waiting for mandizzle to call at like 11!!!! yea... man its so crazy its only the 4th day! eeehole! but lets see i went with my friend lisa to palma the other day, which is the main city here in mallorca. you have to take like a 20 min bus to the city, its pretty much like victoria gardens (waaay overpriced stuff) but nice. So we took a bus there, but buses here r crazy cuz ive learned that spanish people do NOT have and conscience of time or anyhitng associated with it. seriously, they have a bus schedual, but dont go by it, so its pretty much a gamble anywhere u go. but anyways, we went there and ate some more authentic mallorcan/spanish food. I ordered a:
Tapa (appetizer): really common is spain, because people will literally open at like 9am and go for a "deseunar" break (nap) and close for a few hours, and open again at like 5. they really enjoy their lunch and dinners here and there is NO fast food or serving type. .. so anyways, i ordered "championes" whic is basically sauteed mushrooms in garlic. MMMMMmmm!
then i ordered a Bondedillo or however u say it, and its basiclally a sandwich, although mine was a tortilla one, which is their term for egg. so i guess i ordered an egg sandwich with potatoes toasted with tomtoes... not too shabby. but definitely a first and a last for me.
after we went and looked around, took some pictures, and then i ran into these characters in the Palma Plaza, as u will see in the picture with the mime! hahaha good stuff....
but then we came home, hung out with the roomies. and the next day iwent to class and had a few hours so i walked outside and sat on the flat and sealine of the mediterranean and layed there with my ipod and looked at the fishies and took some cool shots. then we had Koinonia which was sweet!

so thats the update so far lol. i tolked to my mom and dad and bro for a little!!!! sooo fun. man i miss all of u back at home.. seriously. so pray that the Lord sustains me through this. i know it will be sweet. but i wish all yall were here with me.


oh yea... like mandy, i work coffee shop (in which we have spanish style of course, so really good cafe con leche and real chocolate milk! .... and i have nursery. okay so now i will try to post pics.......

oh yea! and if any of u guys want to call just email me and ill give u the number to my apartment. it is free for me for any incoming calls, but i think it chrges u a little... so just let me know! :)

wooooooo......

Woa woa woa woa… its been an adventure for sure!!
Im here in hungary…read Adriannas post bout our exciting adventures in london…definitely don’t recommend the whole changing airports…not a good idea! But we both made it safe and sound!!
It was so weird…Adrianna went to go find food and she ran into a guy who we went to school with in murietta…n one of da pastors from spain who was on her flight…that was pretty neat so that she didn’t have to fly by herslf. Me on da ofther hand… after our friends stayed with me of a lil bit they dropped off my lougage and I had to sit in da airport for quiet some time! I asked about 3 different people to watch my stuff so I could go pee 3 times! That’s a loooong time… I fell asleep most of it but I did make a hat and read da book of james (which I will be taking as one of my classes!!) so I got on da Hungarian airlines…n realized there was no more English…no translator…no nothing but I had a whole row of seats to myself so da was sweet…got to da airport found my stuff saw a CCBCE sign jumped in a van fer 2 hrs n wala I was at da castle by 1230 at night… all da interns were up waiting for our lil group n when I got to my dorm my old room mate from murietta was standing there sooo excited!! So dat was really cool also… so yeah its been a great time classes start tomorrow with Hebrews, james, minor prophets, n apologetics, phillipians too..not to mention all da chuck I have to listen to!! I got coffee shop for my m199…I really don’t know how I get so lucky wit these job things….maybe its my last name??  which I am jakes lil sister here but its cool cause I get to start my on story…
So I wrote have of this yesterday but the internet wasn’t workin to post it… but im a lil sick so this was sooo funny had to share it wit yalll….so I have this pretty bad cough. N couple nights ago I was coughin so bad that I totally slammed my head into my bed post in the middle of da night!! It hurt real bad…didn’t think n e thing of it… well next morning I wake up n I have this HUDGE bump on my forhead!! Totally noticeable!! It was sooo sad but really funny…I still have a lil knot but not to bad…I wish I took a picture to show u guys!! It was great…only me right? Oh yeah…thanks AUNT VERONICA fer da lil medicine kit I actually have used almost half of da meds already!!
So life here is slow at da moment but it will get better im sure…haven’t gone outside too much..ok not at all since I got here but maybe tomorrow right?  I worked coffee shop today with this crazy Serbian guy named max… im tryin to get him to let me play my rap in da coffee shop… it might work by the end of da semester…haha hope ya guys like da pics… my roomie took me for a photo shoot… hahahaha

shots of mallorca life

life in santa ponca.....
this is seriously my apartment right off the coast of the mediteranean sea... and then the sea itself and then this mallorcian dish called Habob lol really good! oh and me and my roomie liz at the store....

mi vida ahora....

hola! como esta usteden? lo siento por todo lo toempo que no me escribir usted!
haha okay, ill write in english :) ... so wow!!!! im here in mallorca and mandy is in hungry!!!!
its insane! tha plane ride was INTENSE! i almost missed my flight.... yes i did i was the last to check in and pretty much i almost cried. BUT we got on, mandy and i went crazy on our 9 hour adventure.... we watched sooo many movies!!we sat next to a reallly cool new zeland guy, whom we decided to make laugh the whole 9 hours! so fun!
so we go to LONDON! man, it sucked cuz i only slept for an hour and it was like 9 am in LOndon and we had quite and adventure in front of us. We had to:
1. go thru customs
2. find our luggage
3. find mandys guitar
4. find the coach/bus station
5. buy 2 ticketsto Gatwick airpot north terminal ASAP
6. go to gatwick and drop off luggage and get ticket
7. eat
8. go thru security
9. go to madrid!
... and we had to do all this in 3 stinkin hours!!!!! AAAAND we didnt have any form of time.... so we were off!!......
okay we got off, went to the wrong line in customs... i got yelled at for taking a picture of mandy going under a line bar "No pitchurem no pitcher, you delete pitcjure okey?!!" -me: okay ill delete it (...still have picture :) .. oops!)
but then, we got interegated and then had to get our luggage! .. i got mine super fast (cuz i boarded last) and then we got mandys beast... hen we waited and waited and stressed for her guitar... we got it! ...
we were running everywhere lookin for the floor with the coach station!!!! OMG this was one of the funniest moments in our entire friendship! let me walk you thru this....

okay here is the setting... I have 2 ginormous black fully heavy 20 kilo suitcases and a huge backpack. Mandy has the incredable hulk suitcase, a backback the size of her torso and head, and a guitar. We are frantically looking everywhere, when we are suddenly directed up a flight of escalators. Okay, so i was going in pretty confident cause i had the double suitcase-roll down, and mandy looked stable. so we get to the bottom of the escalator, and lo and behold we realize that we have to put these big rolly things on these stairs that automatically move.... and to top it off, people are coming behind us... and not just people, but ENGLISH PEOPLE (no offense, but you know, not so on the "love is patient" side). Okay so without thinking about anything we roll our cases on and we somehow get on too. So mandy goes first..... i put on case on a step and i get on and somehow hold onto my other as it follows behind. Everything is good. right? ... wrong!!!!! i look up and not more than 3 seconds up, i see the incredible hulk in all its entirity tumbling down the escalators... and as we all know, the only way gravity can stop is when it hits a solid object. and the only sold object was.... me, and my two suitcases, and grumpy english locals. So.... what do we do.... we of course bust a gut and stand in the pee position while i try my hardest to balance all three cases... i have seriously never laughed so hard in my life.... and just imagine what it was like getting off that escalator....

anyways... we got off and found the coaches, hopped on the next one and went to the city of gatwick, which was a hour away. We almost died on the bus when the driver was cussing everyone out and almost got in an accident, but its all good... soyea we got there, i checked in my stuff, we couldnt check in mandys so we went down stairs to eat and mandy spilt water all over the floor and it was time for me to go.... no tears fortunately cuz we met some people from murrietta there so it would have been awkward, but we said bye and i was off to madrid which was another 3 hours, and the a 3 hour layover, where i sat and looked at overpriced mcdonalds, and then waited for my flight to palma. where i spoke my first lick of spanish to this lil old lady who sat next to me.!

i got in like at 10pm and saw eric flores waiting for me, and we took off to my flat!!!!

i couldnt really see much cuz it ws night and i was on about 2 hours of sleep within the past 24 hours.... but i got ot my room, and met my 6 roomies and ditched the toothbrush and went to bed.

okay so i have a literal apartment in the city of Mallorca. It is a 2 bedroom house with a kitchen and a bathroom. there are 7 of us total!!! man, its insane. I LOOOVE all the girls in my room tho. i have top bunk and a gorgeous balcony view of the mediterranean sea. its a 5 min walk to the santa posa community church, where pastor rafael manzaneras teaches and we do all our classes. my roomies are erika (steward from nappa valley) lucy (from england) julie (hemet) madeline (hemet) kaitlin (bakersfield) and liz (long island, NY) ... i have some other amazin friends lisa (anaheim) and alexa (idaho) ... i love lov love life herer so far. it is amazing!!!!!

my classes: missions, galations/ephesians, acts, revelations, community service, womens d.

the community is amazing! they are all german, irish, and mallorcian. they speak their own language so its crazy.... the euro is crazy too!! we went shopping for the first time today and it was ooo fun... basically im going to be living off of bread and bananas and a tomotoe haha!!!! but seriously... haha
