Holly is Transferred to Torrevieja

Transfer time again and Holly is now in Torrevieja. Still on the coast, but further south. Here is her new address:

Hermana Holly Thomas
c/Travesia Gabino 19,1,1
Fase III CALABLANCAS DEL MAR
03183 Torrevieja (Alicante)
SPAIN

And here's where she is on the map. It's such a small city, it's not even listed on the map!

Just before she left, Nice and Alex were baptized and Holly sent this photo!

Asher Gets Glasses

When Becky realized that Asher was having trouble focusing on objects up close, she took Asher to the eye doctor and learned that he was farsighted. So at 20 months old, he got glasses. I was worried that he wouldn't keep them on, but right from the start he left them alone, unlike the sun glasses that Becky tried to get him to wear. These new glasses must help him see really well! Doesn't he look adorable in them?!!!!

Valldemossa in February

This was a long-awaited pday trip for Holly to the quaint, historic village of Valldemossa in on the north-western coast of Mallorca. This village is a favorite site for painters, because it is so beautiful. And you will surely see that is true! This slide show is a treat for the eye!

Palma in January

This is early January (and New Years) in Palma de Mallorca with the cute missionary.

Holly Becomes a "Mom"

Here is Holly meeting her new "daughter" for the first time in Barcelona. That is, she is training a brand new missionary. It's referred to as giving birth. She is Hermana Melani Grant, from Michigan. They rock as comps!

Farewell to Hermanas

I think these are photos of the Hermanas traveling to Barcelona - Hermana Ferranini to go back home to Argentina, and Holly to pick up her new missionary just out of the MTC that she will train!

Virginia's Baptism

This was truly an amazing day for everyone. Virginia is really special. She was baptized the day after Holly's birthday. Here are excerpts from Holly's email:

VIRGINIA WAS BAPTIZED!!!!!!! It was beautiful. She was so happy and truely looked like an ANGEL. We sang I like to look for rainbows (all the hermanas) and I played the piano. She cried the entire time. She recently told us that she wants to be a leader in the church. She is going to be a missionary in the heavens one day this angel.
