We got 4 new missionaries this last week and sent 6 home. We got 1 American sister and 3 Spanish elders. We sent one sister back to Japan, who is an American, but her parents live in Japan. We sent 2 Spanish elders home and then 3 back to the states. It is sometimes hard to keep up with all the transfers, because there has been transfers almost every week for a year, because of the visa waiters, Spanish elders that don't stay as long in the MTC, etc, and then missionaries going home at different times, because of the combined missions from last year. From now on we should be on the 6 week cycle, keep our fingers crossed. We still have an elder in the States who is waiting for his visa and could come any time.
It has been a busy busy time with conferences, departures, arrivals, trainings etc. It keeps us being busy. The branch is doing great and we love them. Next week is our monthly Munch and Mingle, where we pot luck lunch after church. This combines all of our monthly get togethers, because it is almost impossible to get the branch together any other time during the week. We have several members who are caretakers, servants, etc that can't get off during the week and the distance is too far for several of them to come again into Fuengirola for another time during the week. We also have several who go back often to England to visit, but then we have visitors that come regularly to visit Fuengirola.
We hope you have a wonderful week.
