Louisa's attendance was not that unusual as we often had such unexpected visitors. Many pass by our doors on the way to Benidorm’s famous Levante beach. She was welcomed warmly by the greeters and shown to a seat beside one of the ladies from the church. In tears, she obviously needed some direction, guidance and hope.
