So Nothing Goes Unsaid. Friday, 29 August 2014. Los Últimos Días. helado a medianoche, haciendo las fundas y probando la morcilla. Días 41 y 42 (y hoy, día 43) de mi #45diasdeverano. Don't worry, the whole post isn't in Spanish - just the title! I haven't had as much time to write recently as the days have been full (yet restful, hurrah! La Morcilla. Bleugh. The work is still very much underway. They think it will take another year to complete. This is upstairs - the rooms for the kids and youth. But whi...

So Nothing Goes Unsaid. Tuesday, 12 August 2014. Day 26. Betsy, La Cumpleañera. #45daysofsummer. While the kids are singing, I have snook (is that a word? Out to get some WiFi, and want to write quickly and tell you about Betsy. She is the director of this camp - the Football and English camp. It's her birthday today, she turned 29, and she is truly amazing! Not a great pic! Betsy blowing out the candles on her cake during La Cena (dinner) this evening. Little Sara (who is blurred her! But God has blesse...

So Nothing Goes Unsaid.: Reading List
http://jemmalauren.blogspot.com/p/books.html
So Nothing Goes Unsaid. April 2012: One Day. April 2012: Bridget Jones' Diary. March 2012: My Sister's Keeper. February 2012: Marley and Me. Dec 2011: The Heavenly Man. I've been told by a number of people over the past few years that this is a 'must read' book, and also that it's hard to believe some of the stuff that happens in it, and also that it will be a challenging read but also so inspiring and incredible! After seeing the movie, I absolutely couldn't wait to read the book and I certainly wasn't ...

So Nothing Goes Unsaid.: It's show time! Day 22 & 23 of my #45daysofsummer
http://jemmalauren.blogspot.com/2014/08/its-show-time-day-22-23-of-my.html
So Nothing Goes Unsaid. Saturday, 9 August 2014. Day 22 and 23 of my #45daysofsummer. I'm still totally buzzing after the concert last night! It was our first one, held in Toral (the small town / village that the camp is in), just a 2 minute walk away. It was incredible, and so much bigger than I expected. It was in a kind of town square courtyard thing and quite a lot of people came out for it (about 100? And we've spent some more time practising today, to tighten it all up for later. On a more melancho...

So Nothing Goes Unsaid.: Day 27 & 28 - Perhaps I'm just not meant to be tanned! #45daysofsummer
http://jemmalauren.blogspot.com/2014/08/day-27-28-perhaps-im-just-not-meant-to.html
So Nothing Goes Unsaid. Thursday, 14 August 2014. Day 27 and 28 - Perhaps I'm just not meant to be tanned! So I got sunburnt on my knees whilst writing my post on Monday. On my knees. And only there. 20 minutes in the sun without suncream and I burn. I burnt again today, only a little, on my head, playing volleyball with the girls without a hat on (and Eli and I lost 13-12 as well. Not a good game! I'm getting better at it though and definitely improving! And in the kitchen over the past few days, when m...

So Nothing Goes Unsaid.: Day 34 & 35, León Cathdral, Tapas and Romanian history. #45daysofsummer
http://jemmalauren.blogspot.com/2014/08/day-34-35-leon-cathdral-tapas-and.html
So Nothing Goes Unsaid. Thursday, 21 August 2014. Day 34 and 35, León Cathdral, Tapas and Romanian history. #45daysofsummer. We went for Tapas last night, because I said that's the one thing I'd like to do while I am here that I haven't managed to do yet! It was quite a different than what I expected. We all scrubbed up (well, the girls at least), and walked in to the city centre where they showed me the cathedral and told me stories about the history of it's construction. Of course - cathedral selfie.

So Nothing Goes Unsaid. Tuesday, 26 August 2014. Day 38 and 39 - Baptisms, Rock jumping, and catching wildlife. #45daysofsummer. Last week was my intended week of rest, but it has actually turned out that this week is looking more like that. There is a lot of room in the schedule for time to rest (descansar). I'm really enjoying it so far! I've had time to read (I'm reading A Thousand Splendid Suns. Bianca sharing her testimony. About to be dunked. Robert giving his testimony. I was all ready to explain ...

So Nothing Goes Unsaid. Saturday, 16 August 2014. Gospel Choir Concert, sábado el 9 de agosto. #45dayofsummer. As I said I would, here are some pictures from the concert that we did last weekend! I still haven't found a copy of the video but may be able to get a copy of the audio. Either way, if and when I find it, I will post it up here :). I shared Lluna's book for the week during the practices. These were the songs we did! This was the set up. Esther on the drums. She doesn't smile. With Betsy. We...

So Nothing Goes Unsaid. Sunday, 31 August 2014. Days 44 and 45. not quite the end of the Summer! Couple of hours to go! Well I'm not quite finished as there is still one more evening left of the summer! And I've not yet posted about yesterday either! Yesterday will be summed up in more photos than words (but a picture paints a thousand words though, right? And today's events as well as an overall (short! Summary of my entire summer follows at the bottom. A tiny little stage for the City Orchestra. And th...

So Nothing Goes Unsaid.: Day 32: Nothing is Wasted. #45daysofsummer
http://jemmalauren.blogspot.com/2014/08/day-32-nothing-is-wasted-45daysofsummer.html
So Nothing Goes Unsaid. Monday, 18 August 2014. Day 32: Nothing is Wasted. #45daysofsummer. Today, a group of young people from the church here in León went for a walk around a local mountain park. It's not fair to say we went on a mountain walk, because although I think the place was called a mountain, it wasn't that mountain-like and the walk to. Park was longer than the actual walk itself. Anyway, regardless of where exactly we walked, walk we did and it was very (very! But in amongst the ashes, new l...
