Blackbelt of the Catholic News Scrum, Audra Turnbull guest blogs about her experience on the A Nun’s Life Media Team for World Youth Day in Madrid, Spain.

Follow the nuns on their adventure in Spain as they prepared for, traveled to, and explored Spain and celebrated World Youth Day 2011 in Madrid! They were the only nuns broadcasting live to a worldwide audience from inside the WYD celebrations!

The pope has arrived at the Madrid airport, and the World Youth Day pilgrims and media are already flocking to the plaza for welcoming the pope this evening. We’ll be there too!

World Youth Day in Madrid totally rocks! It’s like a crazy awesome collage of prayer, friendship, and party – not to mention the fabulous coffee and cuisine (our own Consecrated Foodie has lots to say, for example, about the Jamon Iberico.)

World Youth Day 2011 in Madrid, Spain, is just around the corner and we’re a little fixated on our preparations both spiritually and logistically! From which Teresa of Avila book to bring to finding WIFI from which to do live broadcasts, we are on a mission.
