Nuevo y nuevos

We had transfers two weeks in a row! On our regular transfer date, only Elder Bookstaber had his visa and was able to come. He arrived in good spirits on the AVE from Madrid. Unfortunately, we did not have a camera with us so our only photo is somewhat shakey photo from a cell phone, but you can see his great smile and spirit!

One week later, we recieved two more missionaries. Elder Kane has been serving for six weeks in the Utah Salt Lake City Mission, and is now being trained by Elder Rasmussen in Lleida. Hna. Walker came to us directly from the Provo MTC (and a week in Madrid for residency paperwork). She is being trained by Hna. Fuentes in Zaragoza.

We are grateful to have these wonderful new missionaries serving with us! They have arrived ready to go to work, teach, and baptize!

We already miss this great missionaries, but we expect to hear great things from them as they return home and move foward with their lives!

Concilio - September 2011

Our monthly zone leader council was held on 2 September 2011 at the mission home. As always, it was a wonderful experience to meet and counsel together with these great young priesthood leaders!

We were not just fed spiritually, but physically!
