Hello everyone! This week was pretty solid.  I realized that what we've been doing isn't going to help us reach our purpose.  We´ve been spending way too much time in "gypsyville" trying to talk to all these people that aren´t going to progress.  We need progressing investigators and people that are going to read the book of mormon and pray and everything.  So we´re going to change things up a little bit. This month of June is month of invitation here in Spain so we´re going to work hard with the members!  That´s the best way to work.  So we´ll see  how it goes.

Friday we had zone meeting and it was really good! They talked about the importance of weekly planning/setting goals, and also about our image as missionaries.  In President Deer´s letter this week he said that the mission has had the least amount of baptisms in a 5-week period since a really long time ago.  Coincidentally right since we've gotten our ipads..  So he´s trying to help us focus on our purpose and not get distracted. 

Yesterday when we went over to Isabel´s she gave us our Book of Mormon back and said that she wasn't going to read it so we should just take it back.  If anyone needs the gospel it´s her but whatevs it's all good. 

Sunday fast and testimony meeting was so good yesterday, definitely one to remember.  I´ve never seen this before but it happened a few times where a family together would go up and each of them would bear their testimony.  My favorite part was when a couple went up and when the husband named Javier bore his testimony he talked about prayer.  He said how his family never really did family prayer, but this week they all prayed every night together that their 20 something year old son would come to church on Sunday to watch Javier bless his new born baby.  The son was there! (not a member so I was all over that ;) ) Javier testified about the power of prayer with true intention. He also said something really amazing. He said "The greatest happiness a person can have is from bringing others to Christ."  That is so true.  Bringing someone to Christ really is the greatest feeling.  Being a missionary is the best opportunity and blessing.  This sunday we fasted as a ward to see success during the month of invitation and I hope that we can see success and help other people come closer to Christ.
