Spain Barcelona Mission: May 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

After a stormy morning with thunder and rain, the sun finally came out. We were glad to be able to have a photo with our Mission Leadership Council. Six members of Concilio will be returning home in the next transfer.

Four zones were blessed and inspired by the visit of Elder and Sister Dyches, Elder and Sister Snow and Brother Neilson.

The Church History Department paid a visit to our mission. It was a joy to have Elder and Sister Steven E. Snow and Brother Reid Neilson here for two days. They were accompanied by Elder and Sister Dyches of the Europe Area Presidency.

Bienvenidos to six new El Faro missionaries who come to us from the USA, Spain, Peru and Italy!

It was hard to say adios to these six outstanding missionaries in our May Transfer. Their leadership, faith and obedience will stand as shining examples in this mission.
