Elizabeth y Shannon - August 19, 1:06 a.m.
Hola from room 306! Elizabeth and Shannon here for the update from yesterday! We started off the day with a delicious Spanish breakfast of chocolate cake and various other breakfast foods then headed out to our catechesis session where we were all inspired to live a chaste life by the words of Jason and Crystallina Everett and had a mass with close to two hundred priests and fifteen- twenty bishops. Next was lunch at an Irish pub. Who wants spanish food in spain? Not us, that's for sure! Then we went to try and find a good spot for the papal arrival. After climbing over people, trash, and stuff and pushing through smelly people from all over the world ( this includes us), we found a decent spot. And we were only three and a half hours early! We made new Facebook friends, some of us took naps, and took lots of pictures. When the wait was finally over, we surged forward and got a glimpse of the pope in the pope mobile!!! While he didnt drive directly on front of us, our view of the stage was enough. Seeing the successor of Peter, the most powerful man in the free world, and the leader of the church here on earth made it all worth it! Adios for now! Love y'all!
