Defending the restored church of Christ - I created this blog back in 2013 to provide an alternative to what I saw at the time as a lot of bad "Mormon blogs" that were floating around the web. I originally named it "Mormon Village" but after Pres. Nelson asked members to not use the name Mormon as much I changed it to LatterDayTemplar. Also, it was my goal to collect and share a plethora of positive and useful information about what I steadfastly believe to be Christ's restored church. It has been incredibly enjoyable and I hope you find the information worthwhile.

I knew it!

So back in 2019 I wrote this post,

"Running of the bulls in Pamplona, Spain"

https://latterdaytemplar.blogspot.com/2019/07/running-of-bulls-in-pamplona-spain.html

I was wondering if any missionaries had ran with the bulls while on their missions. I'm sure many have gone back after their missions to take part in one of Spain's biggest fiestas, but I thought it would be interesting to know if any had done it while on their missions. I'm sure they have, how could you not? C'mon.

But while on Facebook the other day searching for some pictures of Pamplona I came across this post by a Sarah L.,

Pamplona, Spain: I grew up hearing stories of my uncle accidentally/impulsively running with the bulls as a young missionary serving in Spain. He ran all the way into the arena and kept getting thrown back into the ring by the crowd. Story tellers have mixed opinions on whether he was gored by a bull or not. I'll have to ask him at the next family reunion.

So, some good information there and a hunch I had has now been confirmed. 

Viva San Fermin !
