We thoroughly enjoyed our short little trip to Salt Lake. The main reason we went was to be there for the wedding of Judea Abellán Pardo, one of the sweet little girls I loved in our Primary in Barcelona. She is now a beautiful returned missionary and was married in the Salt Lake Temple. Incidentally that is where she served her mission - Temple Square. Two years ago we attended the wedding of her sister Canaán also in the Salt Lake Temple. At that time Judea was on her mission but her mission president gave her permission to attend the ceremony. This time another sister Nain is serving her mission in the Provo South Mission and she also got to attend her sister's wedding. The youngest sister Nazaret is serving her mission right now in California. Have you gotten the idea that this is a remarkable family? Six girls, all but one have served missions, all who are married have married in the temple! Two sons, one passed away a few years ago and the other soon to be married in the temple! I give much credit to their parents Isabel and Antonio.
I asked Antonio the secret to raising such a fine family and he said, "Libertad"which means freedom. He didn't mean that he let his children have total freedom but that his children had their free agency and they choose wisely. Joseph Smith said, "I teach them correct principles and they govern themselves." Antonio and Isabell can take credit for being wonderful examples and teaching correct principles.

Now with Canaán's husband Kevin in the group....
And here is the beautiful bride Judea and her handsome husband Victor!
So happy to have shared this day with these people we love so much. As I
was leaving Isabel hugged me and said, "Te amo un montaña". I love you
a mountain! Igualmente! Me too....I love this family a mountain!
