The lighthouse at Formentor, Mallorca

The background shows sidewalk tiles - "rajoles" - that pave the sidewalks throughout Barcelona. They were designed by architect Puig i Cadafalch for the entryway of a home. Since 1915, they have been used by the city to pave sidewalks, and have become emblematic of the city. One of the city's most famous chocolatiers, Enric Rovira, produces chocolate bars in the shape and design of these tiles.

Interviews / Entrevistas

This week and next week are interviews. We began on Tuesday by flying in the early morning to Palma where we met with the 10 missionaries on the Island as well as the Thompsons. The Baleares Zone is small but mighty!

After the interviews we walked with the Thompsons to a little bakery for a quick lunch. It was a bit surreal - next door neighbors from Harvard Avenue grabbing a quick lunch together in a neighborhood bakery in Palma!

Wednesday and Thursday we were back in Barcelona interviewing the Barcelona and Hospitalet Zones.

Elders Chavez and Gallegos. Elder Gallegos is showing off his crutches due to a very nasty sprained ankle as a result of a little too aggressive soccer game on preparation day...
