Teddy and I went to the Madrid Temple today! It is quite a distance from our hotel, but we made it there on the Metro with no trouble at all. We are getting to be pros. Came up the subway to the street and did not know which way to turn. We knew it was close....so we asked someone and they pointed us the right way. A short walk and there was Moroni! The coolest thing was that we did baptisms in Italian and were confirmed in Portuguese. We met an older couple from Mesa who are here on a mission and working in the temple. Small world. Everyone in the temple spoke a different language, but somehow everyone knew what was going on. We heard Portuguese, Italian, Spanish and Engish. It felt really good to be there...the Spirit is the same in every language.
This evening we went to the Museo del Prado, which is probably the most famous art museum in Madrid. Lots of amazing paintings and sculptures. We went next door to the Real Jardin Botanico (Botanical garden). Such a beautiful place. We wandered for quite a while and Teddy hugged a Ponderosa Pine tree because she was feeling homesick. Now she has sap in her hair. We layed on a couple benches and just looked up at the trees and sky. I love not being in a hurry.
