The Ferry and Transfer Day at the Bus Station

We took about a 20 minutes ferry ride to get to the mainland (Italy) to visit part of the mission.


Transfer day brings in missionaries from all across the mission. There are bunches of white shirts hugging each other at the bus station for several hours every six weeks.

Touring the Mission

The road to Mistretta, lots of roads on "stilts" and tunnels.














The view of Mistretta--beautiful!

A Baptism and a New Chapel-Palermo

This is the new chapel in Northern Palermo. They have a strong branch there.


This sister is the first baptism in the new chapel. She was an "eternal" contact. Her daughter (to the right) has been a member for a year.
