Elder Norton wondering:  is it a clinic of delicious pie or a clinic for delicate feet? 

Here's a sneak peak at our 8 new missionaries who arrived this week.  Here they are on a corner downtown in Fuengirola with Elder Castillo, getting ready to visit the police station.

 

And here's a sneak peak at our trainers:  Hermanas Grant, Folsom, Childers, Camacho, Blake and Crockett, and Elders Larios, Reynolds and Farrell.

Elder Farrell (left) will train Elder Nyland in Alicante 2, San Vicente.

Elder Aviles says, "Elder Read no es el verdadero, soy yo!!!"

 

Elders Read, Nunez, Miller and Metcalf and I enjoying a DATE on a mission.   (only funny in English--sorry!)

Finally, here is Hermana Reed with 12 grapes in her mouth.  In Spain, we start the new year with the local tradition of putting a grape into your mouth each second for 12 seconds in a row.  It's harder than you think.  I think I see Elders Puelles and Easton in the background celebrating with a hug.  Feliz ano a todos!
