Yesterday we celebrated our one-month anniversary in the Spain Barcelona Mission! It has been an incredible month. We have traveled nearly 2,200 miles, conducted 124 interviews, fed 54 meals to missionaries, said goodbye to 11 returning missionaries, and welcomed two new missionaries. We learned to drive in Barcelona,
have been to Makro three times, IKEA once, El Corte Ingles twice, and the farmacia several times. We have been to the top of Tibidabo and to the top of Montjuic. I have spoken in a stake bishopric training meeting and met in a stake missionary correlation meeting. We have held brief zone conferences in every zone (to meet the missionaries) and held a Zone Leader Council. We have given out numerous pass-along cards and given several referrals to the missionaries. Kathleen has been on the phone every day with sick missionaries (nothing serious yet). And we have heard and witnessed countless miracles.
On preparation day (yesterday) Kathleen made 13 contacts; 6 had no interest, but the other 7 took a pass-along card, 5 of them gave her their telephone number for the Elders to call, and one of them came to Church this morning! Needless to say, her Spanish is coming along and she is already a very effective missionary!
Life is good!
