Spain Barcelona Mission: March 2014

About the Mission

The Spain Barcelona Mission extends from Santander on the Bay of Biscay (on the Atlantic Ocean) to Valencia on the Mediterranean, and includes the islands of Mallorca, Menorca and Ibiza. Major cities include Barcelona, Bilbao, Burgos, Santander, San Sebastian, Pamplona, Girona, Tarragona, Valencia, Zaragoza, and Palma de Mallorca. It also includes the
principality of Andorra in the Pyrenees. About 14 million people live within the boundaries of the mission.

The mission includes three distinct languages and two additional dialects: Spanish, Catalan (and its derivatives, Valenciano and Mallorquin), and Basque. However, Church services and missionary work are all conducted in Spanish.
Missionaries serving in the Spain Barcelona Mission can expect to baptize regularly. It is possible to baptize weekly in this mission. Spain is entering a great "second harvest" (the first great harvest was in the 1970s), and missionary work here is more like South America than northern Europe.

The mission home is located at:
C/ Calatrava 10-12, bajos
08017 Barcelona

The Spain Barcelona Mission was lifted and blessed by Elder Patrick Kearon. He conducted our Mission Tour and inspired each one of us to be better and draw nearer to our Father in Heaven. Day 3 of the tour concluded with Mission Leadership Council.

Day 2 of our Mission Tour was a 6-zone conference at the Barcelona Stake Center. Feeding 155 for lunch was no challenge for Carolina and our Senior Couples!

Mission Tour Part One included the Bilbao, Vitoria and Baleares Zones. Elder Kearon lifted our vision and we feasted in a marvelous way!
