The missing picture from last week:  Our new arrivals at the train station on Tuesday, 14 May. 

Concilio, May 5-6, 2014. 

I went to the dentist last week, and who did I find there?  Elders Scheible and Pascua, meeting with the dentist (who is a member), and then fixing her blinds with a dental tool. Nice!

A message from Elders Kiffe and Warburton in Cordoba.

Elder Adams getting up the courage to eat snails in Dos Hermanas.

Down the hatch!
 

Meet Joe and Chelsie Wiscombe in Morgan, Utah with the Wiscombe's 18th grandchild named Elle.  We remember and appreciate the great sacrifices our senior couples make to be here with us in Spain.  This is one of the most tender ones.  But we also have faith in the  assurance that while we take care of Heavenly Father's children here, He will take care of ours back  home. 

Transfer week: 7 arrive, 4 depart

Elder Bivens and Elder Scheible. Looks like a high-level discussion but I'm guessing they were talking about jumping in the pool.

Hermana Roan and Hermana Lionetti looking similar during their last week together in Benidorm.

Ok, now for transfer news.  We received a great group of 7 new missionaries.  Unfortunately I can't find the picture we took of the group at the airport!  I'll keep looking!  Sorry!
