Introducing 15 long-awaited missionaries from the U.S.

Por fin!  This has been the week we've been waiting for!  We received 7 missionaries on Wednesday, 6 on Thursday and 2 on Saturday.  We also had District Leader training last week, and lots of baptisms.

 Whew!  We are so thrilled to have these new missionaries here with us.  Some have been waiting to get to Spain for more than 4 months.  We still have 11 awaiting their visas, but we hope that all of them will be here soon.   Elders and Sisters, love them and welcome them into our mission.  

We will see you this week or next with Elder Teixeira!  Have a great week!  Love, Hermana Deere
