Preparation Day in Palma with all elders in Baleares zone.

We found an old tennis club with an unused pool and four clay courts. The elders were sure that Los Thompson would get beat this time, but once again we prevailed. The elders teamed up to play each other in fun competition but ended up throwing a football--Elder Harris'favorite sport.

Four elders succeed in preaching the gospel to Marcy

It took 6 elders to finally convince Marcy of the truthfulness of their message. Elders Hansen and Roos began the lesson. Elders Bodily and Ballard, Ames and Harris (pictured above) continued until she was filled with love for the doctrine.

The Book of Mormon touched her heart

Elder Thompson is privileged to baptize Marcy, our sweet friend from Brazil. At first she wasn't interested, but once Elder Hansen and Bodily got her reading the Book of Mormon she felt the spirit. As she said, "She was hooked." She cares for a senior citizen in Manacor and has used the Church website to learn more about the church.

A lost member found in Portocolom-Catalina

On Sunday afternoons the Thompsons and the Elders went hunting for lost members on the branch records. Most members have moved, but one was found--a jewel named Catalina.

Preparation Days are a needed relief for the missionaries
