This month has been a busy one so far with lots to come! We visited with branch members and missionaries on Menorca and Steve rented my wish for Christmas while we were there. However, after driving it around, I realized it would be perfect for two adults in the front, but if I ever wanted to take more, i.e., children, friends, or grandkids with me, it would be a tight squeeze. So, he was smart and did a test drive with the two of us and the missionaries and I think I have dropped it off my list. It really is a cute little car though, and VERY easy to park:)

We also went to Madrid for a Senior Couple seminar about church employment resources. The Area Presidency wants us all to be able to be a resource for help in finding jobs for our JAS as well as members of our branches/wards in Spain. So, we had a fantastic couple of days hearing about what the goals are and how we can help facilitate these goals. We also were finally able to understand schooling here and the process involved--we can now really help some of our JAS finish their obligatory education and start to move forward. We had fun visiting a Belén display--beautiful, HUGE, nativity scenes with the whole city depicted--and eating tapas together. We also realized that being grouchy and negative never solves anything, and we hope that as we get older, we are able to be positive and looking for solutions/ways to help, instead of picking everything apart. Steve is off to Barcelona this weekend for a quarterly meeting, one more trip to the airport this week and our new favorite place to park where they know us by name already:)
p.s. happy birthday, mom, i miss you!
