The Sabbath Day



If you know me at all you know that for myself and my family Sunday is a special day.  It just so happens that here in Madrid the church and the Holy Temple are on the same property.
Going to church in a foreign language is always and interesting experience.  The first hour of church we as a family sit together and so it was no big deal, But after that we break up and go to our separate classes.  There was a lot of fear from the children at this moment.  It was extremely difficult to drop them off seeing the fear in their eyes.  They were amazing to put on a brave face (some of them more than others).  Miranda was being so brave until Steven saw the fear in her eyes and it brought tears to his eyes so then she couldn't hold it in anymore.
After all the fear and a little bit of drama being dropped off by themselves each of them came out of class so excited about how well it went.  Of course everyone was super nice to them,  they each used a little bit of Spanish and most of them had at least one person in their class that spoke a little bit of English.  It was an amazing experience.
