Fame vs Fortune

As you can see from a recently posted video we had a brush with fame. Martin Sheen is in Burgos filming a movie about the Camino de Santiago. He is staying in the hotel owned by Madison's host family. The movie sounds like it is going to be good. It is about the father of a boy who died on the pilgrimage. The father then carried the ashes of the boy from france to Santiago. The movie is called "The Way".

Back to Martin Sheen, as we came back from doing paper work (the Spanish national past time) with Pachi, Martin (since we are now on a first name basis) was just coming out of the hotel. He was very friendly and volunteered to take pictures with us. It was very nice he knew we wanted to but we didn't want to ask so he volunteered for us. He stuck out his hand and said "hi I'm Martin what's you name". It was pretty cool.

Our brush with fortune this week was having the missionaries over for Sunday afternoon comida. There are three sisters in Burgos because Sister Johnson is going home this week. The other 2 sisters are from Spain there names are Sister Sanchez and Sister Moraza. Sister Moraza has been on her mission for 1 month. The Elders are Elder Driggs and Elder Holmes. Elder Driggs is being transferred this week. Burgos was his first area. I love these missionaries. They bring an amazing spirit into our home. They are full of light and love. It is a privilege to know them. If I had a chance to befriends with Martin Sheen or anyone of these missionaries it would be the missionaries hands down.
