My address in Spain

Hello everyone,

First time I´ve been able to use the computer again since my initial arrival email. I REALLY, REALLY miss yall more than I can express now as my lack of communication access has me feeling terribly isolated. Assume that I will not get to reply to any facebook messages or emails that you send my way for a very long time. Please send them, but please be very patient with me. I will be moving to Valencia some time between Wednesday and Sunday. My address for my new home is below for you to write me as it is the best form of communication for now. Please allow 2-3 weeks for your mail to make it to me. Would be more than grateful for any communication you send and/or any packages! Also, if you want to call me in Valencia, call on the weekends only as it´s the only time I can receive calls. I´m 6 hours ahead of you in EST or 7 hours ahead in CST. The number is (0034) 961 480 226. PLEASE do keep me in your prayers because it´s definitely difficult for me here though I do enjoy Spain.

Love you all more than words can express now,

Amanda Johnson

Hello from Spain

Hello everyone,

I´ve arrived in Madrid, Spain safely. Some probs with my flights but a very smooth and quick entry into Spain and pick up from the airport. It is really very nice to be here as it´s such a lovely place with warm, welcoming people. I´m not sure where I may be headed exactly after this week. Still under the impression that I will be going to Valencia, to the southeast of Madrid on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. I think I will really enjoy it there if that is indeed where I end up.

I will be in touch as I can for sure. Please be patient as I likely will not have much of a chance to email or blog, but when I can, I will respond/write. I´ve already started my European journal to keep my thoughts and stories of my journey from being lost and will eventually post them. I miss you all and send you my love. Look forward to hearing from you as you can each write back. Please keep me in your prayers.

Well, I will go. We will have lunch here soon.
