Madrid, Spain—Over the weekend of June 28-30, the brethren of the Spanish Field gathered at Entrepeñas in Guadalajara for a spiritual conference. The event was rich in special items of praise, moments of fellowship, and spiritual food.

“May these dear souls, as they follow the example of Christ, rise to walk in newness of life. May they become witnesses to the world, a spectacle to the world, to angels, and to men. May they, as they accept the truth individually, be animated by the same spirit, speaking the truth in love under the influence of the Holy Spirit.” 15LtMs, Lt 20, 1900, par. 6
Let us keep them in our prayers. Amen.
