Old buildings, new Saints, cold weather, blue sea!

Dear Everyone,
This week we have been busy meeting with our investigators, helping prepare them for baptism. Blanca, a Spanish lady of about 60 or so years, is our most prepared investigator. We are still working with the family of Maria, Veronica, and Ariana towards baptism. They don´t feel ready quite yet though. Blanca has a baptismal date for the 8th, and we are praying she will feel ready when the day comes. I have really grown to love Mallorca, and I am for sure coming back. It is so beautiful. We are going today with a member out to a lighthouse which is pretty famous around here. It´s on the completely other side of the island, which is about an hour drive. It´s such a small island isn´t it? When we ask if someone can give someone who doesn´t have a car a ride to church, and they have to drive 10 minutes out of their way to get them, they act as if we´ve asked them to drive from BC to California. The other thing that´s different here is when it gets even a little cold, everyone bundles up and asks you "aren´t you cold?". I always say no, I´m from Canada and I´m used to there being snow right about now. It´s actually really hot in the morning here. I´m sure it´s boiling in the summer. I love the history here, and the old buildings. I also love the bull fighting stadium we walk by every so often. It´s huge, and it´s be quite an experience to watch a bull fight there. They don´t happen very often though. I hope you enjoy the pictures of the cathedral we visited last week and the view from the steps. You can see out over the Mediterranean with palm trees lining your view. It really is beautiful.

These pictures are from a cathedral we went and visited here in Palma last P-day.
