First Sunday in Seville

---

Sunday, I visited La Inglesia de Prosperidad. I loved it. The Spanish congregation was so welcoming. I immediately felt at home worshipping with them. Generally, unless you know a Spaniard you don’t smile or make eye contact on the street. Yet, when walking down the street to the church some people smiled at me and I was confused. After seeing the friendly strangers go into the church I realized that Christian Spaniards are welcoming to strangers. What a concept. It was a great experience to break bread with believers in a foreign language. I loved getting to experience how they worship the same true God. It was very refreshing. I’m excited to go back next week!

Emmy; Congratulations on finding an evangelical church. That's better than we did in London. WHERE was that birthday party. From the ceiling it looks you are in a Quonset hut. Looks like you are making friends. Great. Aunt Cheri

¡Qué fiesta!
Emily, me alegre a ver que te encuentras bien la iglesia La Prosperidad. También veo que has tenido la experiencia de comer en el restaurante con la pizza buena. Hay un restaurante aún mejor en la calle Bétis se llama Mama Mía (creo). Busca la libreta en la sala de estudios se llama "studying in Sevilla" o algo. Tiene adentro diez lugares "secretos" que hay que ver en Sevilla. Espero que has encontrado "La Carbonería". Si lleves tus amigos alla, serás el más popular de todos los estudiantes. También hay internet gratis en el Irish Pub y en Cafe Indias en la calle donde fuiste para llegar al restaurante de pizza de tu foto. Bueno. Eso es un montón de ideas. Te deseo lo todo, y espero que me pongas en tu lista de emails. Que Dios te bendiga amiga
