Two for the price of one!

Dear Everyone,

This week was a historic week for the Balearic Islands. We had here in Palma, in the period of a week, 2 members of the Seventy come and do 2 seperate visits. The first was Elder Ruiz de Mendoza who is from Madrid but lives in Logroño. He is a very well educated man and a great speaker. He gave a few firesides. One directed at investigators, recent converts and less actives about the Book of Mormon which was great. He also gave a fireside about marriage, which we did not go to. The second visitor we had was Elder Evans. Elder Evans is a member of the First Quorum of Seventy. He is also the Executive Director of the Missionary Department of the church. That means he has direct responsibility for all missions, all mission presidents, all missionaries throughout the world. Under the direction of Elder Russell M Nelson of the Twelve Apostles, Elder Evans has direct responsibility for missionary work throughout the world. It was the first time in Palma´s history that we have had a member of the First Quorum of Seventy come. He spoke to us missionaries on Saturday and all the zone leaders of the whole mission flew in to be there. Then on Sunday he presided at a District Conference for all the Balearic Islands. We didn´t fit in our chapel so we had to rent out a school´s auditorium. It was the most exciting thing that has happened here in a long while. Sorry I don´t have any photos this time around.
