Hey friends!
I am officially on the El Camino De Santiago trail in Spain!
We started out in Fatima, Portugal, traveled to Porto and Gaia Portugal, and have now walked from Tui to Porrino, Spain!

Thank you to everyone who sent in their prayer intentions. I didn’t have a chance to reply to your messages, but know that I wrote every single one of them down in my journal and I am taking them on my journey!

So I’ve been having fun making video diaries so that you can travel along with me!
So far I’ve made three, and I’m desperately trying to get the fourth one up from today, but the hotel’s wifi is pretty sketch city, so who knows if it’ll be up by then!
But here are the three that are up so far!
Porto, Portugal and Tui, Spain!
Hopefully I’ll be able to get tonight’s up before the post goes live!
I did! Here is the latest video!
Thanks for following along my journey along the Camino!
God bless and buen Camino!

Have a great time in South-Europe, my dear friend together with your mom. I am happy that she is better now. Here in Finland, I take care of an old man who suffered 3 times from a brain stroke and each time he managed with discipline and positivity to move his legs and arms and to speak again. Of course it takes a while but there is always hope.
Sunny greetings from hot Finland (we get today 33 degrees Celsius)
Hugs and love

I’m really enjoying “meeting” Mrs. BBB! More of her!!! Thank you for making the effort to share your trip with us. Might I suggest a daily summary? Just a short breather/reflection of the day. All the “live” as-you-go shots are fun, but I’ll bet a daily reflection at day’s end will help you personally as well as share the benefits of your sojourn with your readers. Just a thought.
Continued prayers for your safety!
Tui, Spain. Did you skip One-y, Spain? (sorry)

I’m just glad you’re having a rewarding time…especially with Mrs. BBB! Summaries is just a suggestion; I understand how full the time gets! Maybe a reflection on the whole thing after you get home and can breathe! Again, just a suggestion, but you might find value in it yourself to record your thoughts at the time for your future self. Prayers & hugs!

As you walk across Spain, in the present day of both the review of priest and police conduct, near the homeland of my favorite saint from Loyola, you should read the book, “Spain In Our Hearts.” The Spanish Civil War is still alive, much like the Spirit of Saint James in Spain. Franco was a fascist who allied his side in political struggle with the Catholic Church, against the threat of Communism as well as the secular world. Did you know that The Inquisition in Spain that began when Christopher Columbus set forth for America, ended in 1968? There had been 2000 churches destroyed in their Civil War. Can you imagine sitting in a church and fearing violence? Seven thousand priests were killed in the Civil War in Spain, as democracy took over, from monarchy. And then there were all these holes.
Pedro Arrupe was this Jesuit Superior who once asked a Jesuit seminarian why he had to go to India to find the poor, on matters of spiritual direction? To be humbled, more? In the land where three religions worship the same God discovered by Abraham, why do those who so deeply respect human dignity so often turn on each other? To identify our crimes and pronounce our sins? To not allow anyone to be above the law.

How awesome is God! I was just watching a documentary on 12 menwho set out on that trail! I had asked if there was anything particular that day on Netflix, and he led me to something called Footprints. Now today I am asking the Lord which blog do you want me to catch up on first! He sent me to you, dearest Caralyn! I’m not able to watch the videos where I am now, but I am excited and eager for when I am home later! Praying for you and your mom.
