So like I said, there was a Temple trip to Madrid planned. Well that was yesterday. It was crazy [no sleep] but so great. Sat morning at approx 00:30, [a lot of] the ward left Bilbao on a big bus. We arrived at 6amish, got dressed, had breakfast (everyone drinks cola cao (chocolate milk) and cookies/biscuits [they are like graham crackers] for breakfast, its great) then went to the 8am session. What a beautiful Temple! It was so neat to be there. I met a Russian girl there who came to Spain primarily to visit the Temple. She was 19. She spoke fluent English and so it was nice to finally be able to have a conversation that no one else could understand (muah muah muah). There was also a french man there who just smiled at everyone as they spoke to him in Spanish.We then had a break and explored the neighboring (like 25ft away) church where there just happened to be a baptism happening with the missionaries. They invited us to watch and it was really cool. We then had lunch and visited the Temple again. Beautiful! I was SO pooped by the end. I fell asleep in the lunch room on someones bag of something squishy. On the way back it was a lot of fun because it was day time. There are probably 3 fluent English speakers there so I was able to communicate with everyone through them, and practice my Spanish of course. It was really fun. The YSA's are so great! The YSA's (Young Single Adults) had a fun little activity on Friday before our bus went out so I got to meet a lot more, dance a bit, and then they told me this Saturday they are going to San Sebastian! Which apparently is the beesssst more beautiful place in Spain and only an hour away. Yay! And I was so worried I wouldn't have any friends.
