Anticipation

After so many months of thinking about this trip and making preparations, it's crazy to think that in a matter of days I will be heading to the beautiful city of Seville (or Sevilla as it is known there), Spain for a study abroad semester.

I am filled with great anticipation and excitement for the new experiences that await me. I have always dreamed of going to Europe, not knowing whether I would have the chance. So I am very thankful that I am able to have this opportunity. I expect this semester will be filled with unique challenges as I seek to adapt to living in another culture and improve in my abilities to communicate in my second language of Spanish, but I also know that this is a once in a lifetime opportunity, and I want to make the most of it. I pray that God will use this as a time of growth in my life. I want to be open to the things he desires to teach me while I'm in Spain.
