Today i took a restful Sabbath seriously! Woke up around 8, got ready, i wanted to go to breakfast since i didn't have a full dinner last night, but apparently on sabbaths the cafe is only open half an hour of Saturdays. SO i missed breakfast as well, no worries (no precupes), i had bought 2 baguettes yesterday and had saved the other so i was able to snack on the remaining bread before going to church. I wore my dress/shirt with the green, blue, black, and white swirlies on it with my black tights and with my hair in a french braid! Thinking it would be hot. Well it was on the walk down to the guys dorm.
[note: the campus of ESDES is situated on a hill. The primary schools are at the very top, then the cafeteria/our classrooms. After that is the girl's dorm across from a little shop, then finally is the boy's dorm which holds the church. Its muy pequeno,, about the size of the girl's dorm worship hall at SAU. so walking up and down to these various places multiple times a day is definitely building muscle!]
So the walk to the boy's dorm, to the church was hot, and such. We finally arrived and we were early. (we being my roommate and i) So we just waited around, finding random spainards to say hola, como estas a. Pero quando la inglesia comenzo' (but when church started) i sat with my friends and did the whole church thing, THAT is when it got cold. the aire condition was pointed directly to our sitting section! but i tried to pay attention to the service, understood mas o menos (more or less), then everyone dispersed to sabbath schools. They held sabbath school outside!!! it was so nice :D The sabbath school teacher was an older gentleman who talked about the end times, there was a little anti-Christ in the mix, i understood more than i thought i did, and sitting next to me and mi amiga were a few attractive chicos, so it was an added sabbath blessing :D Despues (after) Sabbath school we all hung around for like an hour. Mi amiga and i tried talked with the chicos and the sabbath school teacher, then we walked around talking to random people, finally went up to lunch.. What was served for lunch was some form of veggie meat that kinda resembled fri-chick but it was bigger and more flat. Also there was a traditional dish, it looked like a belgian waffle, but it was a apple (and some other fruit) pie! muy bien! talked with my friends about randomness with little inputs of ideas for winter break, and other breaks, horray!! After lunch we all dispersed to our rooms and i took a siesta!! mi primero siesta!! i woke up around 5. i felt very refreshed. Some people went hiking...well apparently the spanish consider hiking as we consider taking a walk (aka not very seriously XD) but i decided to stay. There is a concert later that people are preparing for (voices and music coming over the loud speakers around campus). i might walk around....im not sure yet. The humidity has subsided for today, so it feels nice outside, a bit breezy, but it doesn't matter :) Happy Sabbath everyone :) oh and HAPPY HOBBIT DAY!
