Uno Dias en Espania

We spent most of the day moving into our new apartment and trying to get connected. But the best part of the day was getting to know Pachi and Christina. They are the parents of Alvero a spanish student we had in our home 3 years ago. They are really the reason we are here. They extended an invitation to Madison to spend the school year with their family. They have been amazing in the way they have sacrificed fro us. Christina found our apartment before we got here. It was not an easy task. No one wanted to rent for just 3 months. As it turned out she knew someone who just moved out and got ahold of them before they committed to anyone else. As we found out CHristina and Pachi are well connected in the community of Burgos. They run a Hotel called Hotel Velda Burgos. It is a remodeled castle and every room is unique. I don't know if I have ever seen a nicer hotel with an amazing ambiance. We also spent a good deal of time looking for the LDS church. It wasn't where Pachi thought it was. We never found it but we will that is a big part of why we came to Spain. We hope to be able to serve in at least a small way. Pachi and Christina took two days off work just to help us get settled in. Pachi rented a van and drove to Madrid to pick us up. We could have done it on our own but it would have been a LOT harder. They have shown true christian love to people they have never met.
