Marc has arrived in Atlanta!

Marc arrived in Atlanta yesterday (Friday), after 3 days of trying to fly standby from Barcelona! But don't feel sorry for him because they put him in FIRST CLASS! Randy picked him up and brought him to a picnic and concert with a band that plays all Beatles songs. Michael Frank, Steve, Melanie and I were there with Crista and the girls, so we enjoyed catching up with Marc and eating the great food that Crista brought us. Here's a picture from that (of Marc and the Waltons). He's going to be surrounded by a lot of girls for the next 2 weeks!
Today Marc evidently slept late, enjoyed Crista's homeade pancakes, and then they all set out and drove around Atlanta to show Marc some sights and ate a LOT of food and ice cream before I (Carolyn) picked him up to take him to dinner with a group of us (including Dave Karger, Michael Frank and some other friends that have NOT been to Spain before). Our friend Cheryl had picked the restaurant and funny enough she chose a SPANISH TAPAS place called "Noche"! Marc got a good laugh from the menu, which wasn't REAL Spanish food. Oh well.. that's Atlanta for you! We ended the night with gelato, so we could feel like WE were back in Espana! We miss all of you so so much, but we're enjoying having a part of you here with us this week. Marc is so mature and "wise beyond his years". Eugenio and Sara, you have raised him well!

Miss you and love you all muchísimo!
Carolyn

Thank you very much to all of you for taking care of Marc. Actually, we want that he has a new opportunity with each one of you and he also could be a blessing for our friends in USA. Marc is increasingly integrated to our ministry and we have big plans for the next year. You must ask him.

The real truth is that we feel very proud of Marc, but we think that he is the result of our prayers. He is very similar to his mamy.

We also miss you very much.
Eugenio and Sara
