Welcome Home Kelli and Sam!

This past semester two of our family members, Kelli Gustin and Sam Shaffer, (pictured above on the far right at the Camp Nou Stadium, home of Barcelona FC) took advantage of the study abroad opportunities that Capital University offers.  They had the chance to study in Barcelona, Spain as well as experience all that three months in Europe has to offer.  Now that Kelli and Sam are back home we are excited to see how their time in the soccer crazy nation of Spain will transfer to their senior season with the Crusaders.
