Wet and wild...

The weather is slightly cooler again today, but it's been really hot and sunny over the past few days and we've been heading for swimming pools in order to cool off a bit. On Thursday I took Kasey and Gabriela to the Aqualand water park in Torremolinos: we spent the whole day on rides and slides, coming home suntanned and exhausted in the evening.

We had a bit of a scare on Friday morning, when I had to take my Dad, who had been in pain all night, to the emergency doctor at the local health clinic. Seems that it was just a digestive problem, though, because some medicine and an injection helped him to feel much better again by the end of the day. We spent the weekend at friends' swimming pools: on Saturday at the Mayers home (Villa Rehoboth) and on Sunday at the Hornstras home.
I was MC-ing at church on Sunday evening - which is always a nice challenge for my Spanish, as there are unexpected announcements, things to pray for, testimonies to translate, etc. I can see my Spanish has improved since last summer, though, so that's an encouragement at least. I continue to work on improving it whenever I have some spare moments for language study.
