What a day=)!!!

What a day!

From 4:30 am until now... which is 9:30pm.... i have been going. I woke up this morning early to go get a visa extention so that i am good for the whole year in Spain. I got in line and was number 5 and Steph the girl i was supposed to go with didnt have some stuff so she left me alone at about 630... so i had to wait another 2 and a half hours until the place opened. Got all my stuff done no problem then went home and got some grub then headed to school. Had classes.. the only really exciting thing was that I found out my FAVORITE teacher Debora Cole... my Art History teacher.... had gotten a new job. She has a photographic memory which is really sweet and she told me she had finally gotten this job she had been working for since 2002. She wanted a job with the government and to get that job that meant studying for everyday since 2002!!! ISNT THAT NUT!! She said she studied everyday for this test that she took just last year and has been waiting for the results for the past year! So they made her study for 6 years everyday then gave her a test, then made her wait for the results for the next year... awesome huh=) But she ended up in the top one percent... number 14 of 4,000 to be exact!!!!! SHE IS SMART PEOPLE! But anyway she got a new job which means my favorite teacher just went goodbye for ever, at least for one class. I had her for history of spain and history of art now i just have her for history of art. That was my day at school. Then i came home and got online and ate for about 45 minutes then biked about 1.5 miles to go meet David Acton for bible a descipleship group that is totally in spanish with two other spanish friends of mine and Martha=) We had a great chat and great meeting.

Then i came home and really felt like i needed to call a friend of mine who lost his wife a week ago today. But before the call i just prayed and asked that God would give me the words to say and the heart to give my friend strength and joy. I called off my internet off skype and he picks up. I say "Hey its Jacob Kissack can you hear me ok?" he says yes and i just start out with hey and stuff like that then just say hey i heard about Patti because my mom told me. I am so sorry and i really wish i could be there! He then just said wow thank you for this call Jake... "it has been a week almost to the minute that i walked in and found this whole calamity" jake you have no idea what this phone call means to me, I love you man. THAT IS GOD IN MOTION. God had me call him at the exact moment that was pivital for my friend and i prayed that God would use my phone call and man did he ever. Thank you God for giving me a moment with such a dear friend to honor the loss of such an incredible person! And now i sit reminded of the Godly life of my friend and how fragile life really is... I love you all and miss you tons, God bless you and keep you till i see you again=)!!!
