A feminine touch has been added to our zone

During February, los Thompson had the assignment to find a piso (apartment) in Inca. President Hinckley was going to send us some more missionaries. The Inca Branch was particularly grateful to hear of this plan. After finding a piso owned by a member, we brought two lovely young sisters to fill it--Hermanas Martin and Bennion. Having these sisters here assigned to Inca makes life more manageable for the Manacor elders. They can concentrate on their own area and allow the sister to perform miracles in Inca. We are pictured at our zone conference which includes the Menorca elders and on our p-day on the Palma tennis courts.

Celebrating with the Scharsigs

The Baptism of Bro. Scharsig was not only eventful for Los Thompson. Sister Scharsig couldn't believe it was actually happening. She and her daughter have been waiting for many years for this day. Pictured are los Thompson, the Scharsigs and our three elders presently working together in Manacor--Egan, Greep, and Farley.

A German Baptism in Spain

February has been a memorial month for Los Thompson. We have been working with a couple from Hamburg Germany, the wife was a member, but her husband, Rolf was not. We met them on their vacation in Mallorca last February, 2010. When they left for Hamburg in March 2010, we encouraged Rolf to read The Book of Mormon. Bro. Thompson bore his witness of its truthfulness and I wrote my testimony to him in an email. When they returned in November, we began our visits again, without too much progress. We decided to give up, but Bro. Scharsig became serious about studying the Book of Mormon. Elders Egan and Greep joined us in our meetings with them. They encouraged him to listen to his feelings. That made the difference. He accepted a baptismal date of February 19th.Elder Greep did the baptizing--in German, no less with Brother Thompson's coaching. The following day, Brother Thompson confirmed him in German. Pictured are elders Egan, Greep,and Farley with Rolf Scharsig.
