Missionary Events
Besides the Bus Tours, there were other 'events' that were scheduled for us to attend to. One thing that I found great about this 'reunion' was the fact that Shawn only knew a handful of the ones who came. He was only companions with about 2 maybe 3 of the guys, yet we all had great time getting to know one another. We were all there for the same purpose. To reconnect with a part of our spouses life. I would have never thought we would get along so well with everyone, but we did. We made some great memories along the way.Group Temple Session - It was quite the experience to go through a session, and actually know each and every person that was there. The Spain Temple is literally one of the most beautiful temples I have ever seen. I can't begin to describe how incredible it is. I was especially thankful for the opportunity to go to this. To be quite honest, I have been terrible with my temple attendance. Up until the last few months, I always had a nursing baby...I didn't make it a priority to go...and I should have. (BTW Rhiannon...I probably did meet the Shaw's, but don't really know. I am sure if I saw a picture I would know who it was. :)
Going to the temple brings so much comfort and peace. It helps to bring so much more clarity to what direction my life needs to go. It really made me realize that I need to make more of an effort to attend regularly. I am missing out on so many blessings because of my absence there.

They did end up having a fireside on Sunday evening that we went to. Shawn was able to see some other Spaniards that he hadn't contacted yet. They played a video that showed the progress of the the building of the Spain Temple starting at the breaking of the ground, early construction, open house, and dedication. President Hinckley was around during that time, and hearing him again made me realize how much I miss having him around. He really had such a wit about him.

The visit here to Spain was absolutely wonderful. I loved being able to spend time alone with my honey, and take in the different culture Spain provides. As a bonus, Shawn's work 'needed' him to make a pit stop to the LONDON office. So we left Spain and spent 3 glorious days in London......

I too think is was amazing that everyone had so much fun together. I wasn't expecting that I would be making friends too. I can't wait to hear more about London. I expect to learn a lot from that post (smile).
