 Thank you for the talk from Elder Holland, it gave me goosebumps! Just a quick fun fact, He is coming to my mission on September 16th and the entire mission gets to to go to Málaga and hear the words of this great man. Yes I know, I'm in the best mission in the world. I have read on lds. Org about Melton Gonzales Trejo in the CCM , but I would love to learn a bit more. I  think about my ancestors often because there are talked about so many times in my patriarchal blessing so I'm curious. I feel so blessed to be in Spain learning Spanish and just being here knowing the people I know it's a beautiful thing.

We had a fantastic week this week! FANTASTIC. We had zone conference on Friday and interviews with President so we were in Sevilla a lot this week. Zone conference was so refreshing it was awesome. I learned so much and we got a lot of this on how to involve and strengthen the members. And one thing that was super stressed was having Family Home evenings in the homes of members and have them invite non members, Investigators, menos activos or anyone, which we have tried to do, it just hasn't been working very well. But we took this idea  to the ward council on Sunday morning, and our stake President/ bishop was all over the idea and that day it was announced in sacrament meeting, Sunday school and relief society! A calendar was made to have the missionaries in the homes of members and the members could sign up for a day and it just really took off WHICH IS A MIRACLE. A MIRACLE. We have been trying to do things like this for so long and they just never really turn out BUT THIS IS A MIRACLE. I'M SO HAPPY IT WILL MAKE SUCH A DIFFERENCE HERE IN THE STRENGTH OF THE WARD. And we can find some new people while we are at it. 

This Saturday and Sunday we did a mission wide fast and we included the members for the mission work here. And more specifically we fasted to be able to meet our goal of 22 baptisms for the month of July. We were all encouraged at 3 pm on both days to pray with whoever we were with together and open and close out fast. I was really looking forward to it because everyone was just so faithful about it and I have already seen so many miracles. So many! We had 3 investigtoras in the capilla yesterday! And we had 2 less active there who haven't come in months and years! Members invited their friends and there were just so many MILAGROS. I'm so pumped right now for this hot month of July. It will be a good one.
