O Templo do Madrid- O Espanha

We experienced a wonderful miracle this week as we were able to go to the temple in Madrid Spain. We were traveling using Google Maps because Dad Hates his GPS.          He didn't think to talk to Vodaphone - our internet carrier to see if we would have internet in Spain.  We were about 172 hour out of Madrid when the internet quit.  We tried the GPS but it couldn't find the address.  Dad couldn't remember the name of the hotel so we couldn't even ask directions.  We were thinking we might have to turn back but we pulled off the road and had a prayer.  It was a simple prayer in which Dad said "Weŕe just to old people who want to go to the Temple."  We smiled at each other then tried our various devises again hoping to figure out something when lo andbehold the internet started working and took us all the way in to our hotel.  We were there three days and we did the work for several of my ancestors.  The day before we left we took two of the young women (Women but not married) with us and we had an adventure going through the subway and seeing many of the beautiful old buildings.  Madrid is a beautiful city.  Throughout the whole area there are parks and green areas with fountains and flowers.  It is amazing how much some greenery changes the environment.  Reminded me of Central Park in NYC. So Friday morning we slept in and started for home.  I kept checking the internet to see what I had missed while off line but it didn't work until about an hour from home.  Everything was the same.  Everything was charged but we didn't need the internet on the way home.  Miracles come to us and many times we don't even recognize them.  I'm glad that I recognized this one.

 This is the dormatory type hotel because so many people travel long distances to come to the Temple.  It was full so we stayed in a simple little hotel a couple of miles away.
