Welcome to the El Faro Mission Blog
Welcome from President and Sister Dayton
Madrid Temple
This picture was painted by Jan Zwick, the grandmother of one of our dedicated missionaries, Hermana Eyring.
Origin of our Nickname-El Faro
“El Faro” means lighthouse in Spanish. Our nickname arose after a visit from Elder F. Burton Howard who was serving as the Europe West Area president at the time. After touring the mission and witnessing the success the mission was having as well as its obedient, hardworking missionaries, he is reported to have said, “this mission is like a lighthouse -El Faro- for the Europe area.” The name stuck and we carry the wonderful legacy of El Faro today. This logo was created by one of our El Faro missionaries, Sister Lofgran. The anchor symbolizes that we are anchored in the gospel of Jesus Christ. The waves represent the Savior calming the sea and the peace that comes as we follow His teachings and example. The light emanating from El Faro, of course, represents the light of Chirst.
