Bon Dia!

Hi family!

So I'm still on the mission and still absolutely loving it!

I have decided it's really smart to have us missionaries email on P-Days because we have been able to relax a little and we are always in a good mood. If they had missionaries emailing home on Sundays it'd be a little different, I think. Sundays I am always so exhausted! Which is good. I love coming home from proselyting with Hma. Shaffer on Sunday nights and just looking at her and we both just talk about how dead we will feel (and then we get super excited cause it's P-Day eve and we make cup brownies or something else that's awesome).

This month we have been working especially hard for "Mes de Mil" (Month of 1,000). I think I might have already mentioned this but President Pace challenged us, as a mission, at the beginning of this month to find 1,000 new investigators (we usually find around 700 but where June was the "month of invitation" he knew we could find more). Everyday all of the missionaries in the Spain Barcelona mission would say a prayer at 10 am for this goal. We just got the results back and we found 1,013 new investigators! It was a miracle of prayer and hard work and I am so happy.

Last night we got to watch the rebroadcast of the mission conference from last week (we couldn't watch it last week because of the time difference but we had heard some stuff about it throughout the week). I am so fortunate to be a missionary during this time. It is so cool to be a part of all of these changes and innovations and this stronger emphasis on missionary work. I loved the call to action for members everywhere. I'll be honest when I was home I never thought about missionary work (except for writing letters to friends who were serving). Growing up I rarely talked to any missionaries in my area. But members are KEY in missionary work. This last week we had a member in our ward offer to come to all of our appointments one day even though they were super far apart, and it helped so much. I know things are a little different in Utah, but my invitation is to find a way that you can help the missionary force in your area. It's so important and will bless your life.

Oh and we have three new baptismal dates! Princess (13th, such a miracle!!!! we are super excited!), Oscar (13th), and Victor (20th). Woot woot! We are so excited for them! They are all such great people!

Sorry this week wasn't super exciting but I love you and am so grateful for your letters and prayers!
