Here's 555 again.  What does it mean?  A few things:  Our baptism goal for 2013, but also our goal for new investigators this week.  We are going to be close! Thanks for the reminder Elders Walker, Ellsworth and Berry.

Defenders of the Faith!

 

No, we aren't remodeling the mission home.  Some guys emptied out the little kitchen while trying to locate a water leak.  After all that work, it wasn't in the kitchen.

 

 

They found the leak here.  The leak is fixed, but now they have to fix the holes in the walls...



A train station reunion

Hermana Brimhall, Elders Bird, Peters and Jackson, and President Deere at a wonderful baptism in Malaga 1.  With the baptism of the mother and daughter, now the whole family are members and are planning to go to the temple to be sealed as soon as they can.

Hermanas Guymon and Wilcox in Badajoz, with a shout-out to Hermana Chavez.

Here is a sweet reunion story about Elder Buckway (left) and Elder Read (right).  They didn't know each other before the mission.  Several months ago, Elder Read's mom saw a photo of Elder Buckway on the blog, and thought he looked a lot like the Elder Buckway who baptized her in France in the 1980's.  She contacted us, and we contacted Elder Buckway, and learned that it was Elder Buckway's uncle who baptized Elder Read's mother so many years ago. They have been able to communicate with each other after decades without contact.  What a wonderful tender mercy for Sister Read and Elder Kim Buckway.  I wonder what reunions like this will happen in the future with our current missionaries' newly baptized converts?

P-day fun in El Palmeral in Elche.



From Hermana Brimhall:  "This girl was baptized last weekend and this weekend started a mini mission with Hna Poulton and I. THAT´s a convert ON FIRE!!! Go Alison."

P-day fun in Italica, a really, really cool site of a Roman theater,  just outside of Sevilla.

And last but not least, here is a photo of the Spainhowers (Hermana Spainhower in the front row, last one on the right, and Elder Spainhower, the last one on the left in the back row), along with the young adults from Malaga.  The Spainhowers finished their mission last week.  We miss you, and thank you for all your service in the Spain Malaga Mission!  We love you!
