Our First Sabbath in Burgos
Today we went to church for the first time. There were about 50 people not counting 4-5 babies (that was a more then I expected). I came away with 2 impressions (nothing to do with the talks since I had no clue what they were talking about). During the sacrament I got an overwhelming feeling of love for the members of this branch. Maybe it is because of their faithfulness. They live in a community where everyone is Catholic. It must be very difficult to come to church and have a calling in a place that no one outside the branch knows what that means. It's not easy to be LDS. I think for many it easy to be Catholic. The second impression was that just like Bishop Rife of the Heatheridge 9th ward, Presidente Cardus loves and has a unique concern for his flock of followers of Christ. There is something that comes with those keys to preside that makes me already feel he is a special man. I'm grateful for the church and especially for the restoration of the Priesthood.

It sounds like you are already having a grand time. Brett is so jealous. He's ready to go on his own adventure but I don't see it happening any time soon.
