My parents had been planning since the fall to serve a LDS mission in Madrid, Spain but had numerous visa delays. Their departure date finally was set for April 12th after 6 long months of waiting. We were so excited to have them live with us for three weeks while they trained at the MTC. Over spring break, David and I took the kids to visit them at the MTC. It was a great experience and I know the kids are even more excited themselves to serve missions in the future.

David and I talk about how we are going to Spain next year to visit my parents. Josh and Sarah always correct me that THEY are going to Spain as well. We are hoping to be able to take the older kids. I guess we will just have to wait and see . . .
