We enjoyed an afternoon with some investigators that live in the home town of Dulcinea, El Toboso. We enjoyed two museums, one was a house like Dulcinea could have lived in with olive presses and wine presses and all the furnishings. The other museum was a collection of copies of Don Quiotje, Man of La Mancha in over 70 languages. Books were donated by many dignitaries including Ronald Reagan, King Carlos, Mussolini. It was an amazing exhibit. Ana and her husband are great investigators. They are ready for baptism but her husband, Raúl, has not been divorced from his first wife and they are trying to get things worked out so they can get married and then baptized.

These are the missionaries from our Zone. They were in our piso for Thanksgiving Day. We have missionaries from Sweden, Chile, USA, Spain, Ecuador, and Netherlands in our Zone. We had a wonderful day with them. We had transfers the day before Thanksgiving so 6 of the missionaries are new to the area and two of them started their first assignment here. We have over 200 missionaries in the Málaga mission.

We are doing well. We are visiting many members of the branch. We travel to several cities surrounding Alcázar that are in our branch area. Most people don't like visitors until it is 8:30 p.m. We have been able to find everyone we look for even though the cities are new to us and it is dark. The GPS comes in handy. The street names usually change every block or two. The streets are narrow and it is hard to find a place to park.
