Missionary Ties

Brad, Pepe, Veronica (daughter), Veronica (mom), Carolina, and Carol

Here's a little Morris family history lesson for you...  Brad, (my husband), served in the Madrid, Spain mission.  Ten years before Brad served there, his sister, Carol, also served in the Madrid, Spain mission.  That's right... same mission, ten years apart.  While Carol was serving there, she met and taught Veronica.  Veronica was baptized, met Pepe, and had two beautiful daughters, Veronica and Carolina.  (Carolina was named after Carol...) While Brad was serving in Spain, he met Veronica and her family.  They treated him like GOLD. (Not that I can blame them....) There were instant friendships formed that will last an eternity. Well, this beautiful family has just made their first trip to the United States, and spent two weeks in Utah!  We got the opportunity to have dinner with them a few times, and Brad and Carol got to reunite with long time friends.  It was fun for Olivia and me to meet them.  They head back to Spain tomorrow, and they will be missed.  It was fun to hear the Spanish flow off Brad's fluent tongue.  It was even more fun to hear Veronica get after Brad for not teaching me Spanish so I could understand what they were saying....  But, that's another story.
