Scooter in Spain on Sunday

I was able to meet up with Scooter on Sunday morning at the train station in Madrid. It was so good to see her! It was a fun train ride back to Alcalá catching up on everything. She truly is a world traveler. She wants to visit 20 countries before she turns 20, and she has two left. Spain will be number 19 and she is going to swing by Portugal for the last one. Talk about amazing! It was fun showing her around Alcalá and my home for the past three months. We even experienced talking with a nice Spaniard man that showed us around town too haha. We then went to my ward here in Alcalá, which was nice. Scooter got a little exposure to some church terms in Spanish, which will be good for when she goes on her mission Spanish speaking this summer! I showed her the candy shop we always stop at after school and I had her try the candy we always eat haha We also visited Cervantes house and saw where I go to school and the rest of Alcalá. I’m so glad that Scooter was able to come to Spain! I love her and am so grateful for her in my life and what she has taught me. Being here has taught me how important the people in our lives are. People come into our lives for a reason, and we are all God’s children. When we were at Family Home Evening in Madrid a missionary couple was telling us how there are no consequences, just miracles where God decides to stay anonymous. I thought that was really cool. Heavenly Father gives us so many tender mercies each and every day. We are so blessed, and being here I have been able to realize that even more.
