Matt and I just came back from a weekend trip to our dear Barcelona. Las Ramblas, the warm metro, Plaza Catalunya...napolitanas from Mercadona. It  has been great!!! but it has also been a great blessing being able to re-conect with old recent converts and some members over there. It was sad to hear from them...from all of them...that the Faro missionaries have other priorities right now...so they no longer visit inactives or members; unless they have friends with them that want to listen the missionaries. It was sad to hear our dear Archie remembering our group of missionaries as if we were his children. He said that he no longer sings the "amigos para siempre" song that he used to sing to each of us...All our members and investigators that we left in our mission still think and pray about us and our families. It was a great experience to remember my time on the mission through their eyes...and I wanted to share that with all of you....just a little memory this evening to let you know that in each of the lives that we changed years ago....the spirit is still burning inside them because of us.
