Mission Tour and a little surprise from the office

Wow--what a week!  We loved seeing all of you this week as we toured the mission with Elder and Sister Richards.  We had a great set of conferences in Murcia, Malaga and Sevilla.

President Deere and I have three thoughts about the week:  first, we are tired!  Second, we felt the Spirit in abundance this week.  And third, we are so proud of our missionaries in the Spain Malaga Mission.  Thank you for your obedience, hard work, and shiny countenances. 

Here's the week in (not very many) pictures:

Elder and Sister Richards at a quick stop in Nerja.

Elder Thomas, Long, and Hermana and Elder Spainhower in Malaga

 

 

 

 

One of the benefits of serving in Malaga--being fed by Hermana Spainhower.  Lucky!

 

 

 

 

Elder Hooper, Hermana Brimhall, Hna. Moreno and Elder Barney looking smart. 

 

 

 

And here's the little surprise from the office...

 

 

 

 

It was wonderful to see you Elders y Hermanas.  See you next week!   Love, Hermana Deere

Elders Manning and Hall baptized a couple who started meeting with missionaries 7 years ago. They got married Friday and were baptized Sunday!

 

 

 

 

Here they are with their beautiful children, 3 of whom have already been baptized.

 

 

 

 

Elders McGarry and Butler in Elche

 

 

 

 

Elders Thornley and Keller in Sevilla. 

 

 

 

 

Wow!  Lots of baptisms! We also had the District Leaders in the mission home this week for some training.

First, we eat.  24 hungry missionaries=LOTS of food!

 

 

 

Then we get down to business...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And here's a shot of everyone, except...

 

 

 

 

Elder Hafen, who was in the bathroom while we took the picture.  No time for another shot, because Elder Crawford had to catch a train.

 

 

 

 

 

I bought a jamon for the training, and despite Elder Brown's efforts, not much of it got eaten, so...

 

 

 

 

Annie fed some to our neighbor who comes to see us every day (se llama Ron).  As for the rest, see below. 

 

 

 

 

He was happy.

 

 

 

 

Elder Nally got a few minutes in the hammock. 

 

 

 

 

 

Lunchtime in Sevilla

 

 

 

 

 

Here's Elder Barney ready to talk with everyone on the bus, and Elder Jackson praying behind him. 

 

 

 

Here are a few inspirational messages.  We love you Elders and Hermanas--see you this week at our meeting with Elder Richards.  Shine your shoes and cut your hair!  Love, Hermana Deere
