Llegue a España!!

We finally made it to Spain! After about 14 hours of traveling, I was so tired that even laying on the nasty airport floor was glorious. Here is a picture of the group sitting and waiting at the airport. And yes, you guessed it: we were exhausted.


On the way there, I sat by this Korean lady who was Evangelical.


When I told her about the Mormon religion and how we believe that we can live forever with our families, her response surprised me. She said, "Well I don't really want to be with my family forever. The family was a group established only for earth so that we could have support and develop into better people." Convincing her otherwise was impossible, but we both agreed on the fact that we can find peace through Christ. Period. End of conversation. But through it all, I learned to respect her for her devotion and the fact that she is such a "power woman." She works as a physician in New York and raised her children as a single mother. Even though she spoke with a tinge of bitterness, I admired her for making something of herself.
