Greetings from Spain, and Happy Mothers Day to all.... This week we went to the temple on our day off and had a great time. The weather as gone from warm to cool and windy. We are inside more than outside so it doesn't really matter. We have finally completed most of the paperwork for our residency ... The paperwork and running around is incredible. The line on Wednesday (after we went to the temple) at the police department went around the block. So many people are wanting to come to Spain to work. Most of them are from South America. (Even thought there is not any work here.) A very sad situation. Today is Friday and so we have tomorrow off. I think we are going to the south of Spain to a state called La Mancha. It is were the windmills are that Don Quiote thought were monsters and so he fought them. I think it will take most of the day to drive down and come back.
The pic of us with the missionaries are our "saving grace". Without them we would have probably gone home soon after we arrived. They have helped us with everything... I want to adopt them when we get home. They are so sweet and nice.
The other picture is of us with our Mission President and his wife. They are from San Jose, Ca. and are fluent in Spanish. H. Watkins reminds me of Jacquie Bullock at times. She has been such a great help to me also. The picture was taken just after I had my hair cut and had not gone home to wash and blow dry.. It looks better when it is fixed.
I will write again when we have more pic's to share... I love all of the participation in the blog from all of you.
Kendra, we are all praying for you and hope the baby comes soon and safely. Gram

  1. The temple is beautiful there! It looks like Mt Timp temple to me. Today we finally have decent weather - it feels like spring and should for at least a couple of days. I have been in my yard most of the day and loving every minute of it! Take care and keep your spirits up. I'm sure that it will get easier once you get settled and more familiar with the culture. We love you and are so proud of you. It can't be easy to "start over" with so many obstacles like the language and culture. We will continue to pray for you! The Monsons
