In September, Idoia Makazaga, the President of MISEVI Spain, shared the following information about the activities of MISEVI Spain.  It is interesting to note that MISEVI was initially begun in Spain, and has now spread to include 18 countries.

In Spain, we are missionaries in our usual locations and in the most daily ways: family, work, parishes, pastoral, associations, and neighborhoods. Additionally, there are also members who have been sent to Angola and Bolivia, which now include 3 members from Spain and 1 member from Argentina.
