I am finally really starting to feel like I am a part of my family. Yesterday, we watched this concert called Eurovision, which you all should look up, where 24 European countries send a new singer and they have this huge concert, and after all 48 countries vote for the best. Belen told me that its really political, and that if a country doesn't like another country, they wont vote for them. The concert was amazing and wonderful, sometimes they sang in their own languages, but most of the time it was in English. Which, I thought was a little sad, but what can you do.
My internship is going well too! The people are starting to get to know me, and they remember my name and ask how my classes and other things are going. I have made some really good friends here too, through my internship, and they have been great. I hope someday I will be able to show them the level of hospitality that they have shown me. They have literally brought me into their lives and made me one of their own. They make me dinner, take me out, are patient with me and my spanish, and always make sure that I am ok. The coordinator of the program, Julian, has been especially helpful. He always texts me to make sure that I make the metro on time, or other things like that. I feel like there are people here that I can depend on, and its really nice because they are so great and dont make me feel like a bother.
Lets see, its less than a month till Im 21!! Woo Hoo! and a happy early birthday to my dad!
Thats all for now, sorry if its not that exciting! Be thinking of me, I really do miss my friends and family.
Besos~

I can literally picture your exact reaction when you spotted the Mexican food section… So glad that you found it :)
I really do love and miss you. It's been so interesting being in CA this summer and finally beginning to truly realize the people I care about and genuinely miss (just so you know, you're one of them :P)
I hope you have a wonderful Memorial Day (since chances are you didn't even realize it was tomorrow, considering you're in a different country and all). I'll make sure to have some extra fun, so you can vicariously live through my experiences :D
Paz y amor,
Sammy
The Schinkal's were over yesterday for a BBQ and we were talking about our June birthday girls. We cannot believe that you and Sarah are almost 21! What do you want for your b-day?
Emma was wondering how "her" Kelly turned Dora was doing. You are always in our thoughts and prayers.
Kids are doing well. Baseball is wrapping up, all 3 played!
We will have a Mexican feast when you get home. When is that again? Will you be home for VBS? Just kidding.
I am so excited for you and the experiences that you are having. Treasure every moment. I know that people's life's are being touched by God through you. Spain will never be the same!
Love always,
Cami, Nate, Daniel, Hannah & Emma
