We Have Arrived!!

We spent one night at the Madrid Temple complex.

There we attended some classes.
We were so tired we went to bed at 8 o'clock.

We were reunited with our neighbors,
President and Sister Hinckley.
They got us ready to go to Mallorca.

The elders packed our suitcases,
five boxes of Books of Mormon,
and all the mail going to the missionaries on Mallorca.
After finding the ferry in the dark,
we drove our Opal onto the deck and waved good-bye to the elders.
We were on our own!

The first night on Mallorca,
we stayed at this hotel, Casa del Virrey.

The young missionaries took us sightseeing.
The coast is beautiful.

Brother Fabricio learned it was my birthday.
He made a cake with fruit inside and chocolate sauce on top.
The meal was divine!

The Elders in Manacor are very dedicated.
They are doing a lot of interpreting for us,
but each day our language skills improve.
Sometimes we find Germans, and then
Elder Thompson has no problems!

We are getting more experienced --
We just attended a zone conference in Palma.
We love our mission!
