Ayer (yesterday)

Sunday is a big day in Spain. Very big.  My day was incredibly busy.  I spent the morning with Oscar and Noami at Immanuel Baptist Church in Madrid, where Dr. Dixon preaches.  The church is English-speaking and very diverse.  I met people from Africa, Holland, Japan, England, and some other exchange students from the states.  After that, we went to la Iglesia Bautista de Buen Pastor, a Baptist church.  People keep asking me if the services in Spanish are different from churches I've been to in America, but honestly... all church services are different and this one was no exception.  It wasn't wildly different, no more than going to First Baptist and then First Methodist are wildly different.  Oh, except that it was in Spanish.

Next, we went to the mall (there is an H&M!!!), where we ate at... Taco Bell.  It is the only Taco Bell in Spain.  The menu was basically the same, just a little smaller.  And they sell beer.  Everywhere.  For the same price as soda.  Currently, they are promoting the Gordita.  

When I said Sunday was a big day in Spain, I didn't mention that things close.  Madrid is the only city where the Malls are open on the first Sunday of every month.  The supermarkets, however, are closed.  It's a lot like those days when you really really want Chik-fil-a, but guess what? It's Sunday.  

I'll be finding out about my classes tomorrow.  The time difference is still wearing on me a little.  I really feel like it´s 8 a.m., even though it is 2 p.m.  It makes the days feel incredibly long.  Hasta luego!
