listening to the spirit

Well some good news to start it off--I´ve lost 13 pounds since I came back from the islands! Pretty happy.
The people here aren´t doin too well after their tragic loss to the Netherlands...pretty bad. This is their life. I´m not even joking when I say there was no one in the street. I hope they can get it back together and not make a fool of themselves. It's sad though because we can´t watch it, and I was hoping the president would let us if maybe Spain made it to the final or something but nope. That's okay though, it´ll help us focus on the work. 

Okay the chair I´m sitting on right now was just slowly going down and I had no idea until my butt was about on the ground. Annoying. 

This week was a struggle with some things, like having our investigators not show up for the lesson or not answer the door when we had called them that morning to confirm it. But it is out of our control, so we just have to do our best. 

I had a really cool experience this week with the spirit, actually multiple experiences. For a little while in my mission I wasn´t exactly sure if I was receiving promptings or guidance from the spirit, and it frustrated me, but lately it has changed. We were walking down a street and my companion stopped just for a second to stretch his leg, and I had just a weird urge to go to the right, change our course. I followed that thought and we walked that way, not knowing what was going to happen, and we came across a recent convert that we needed to talk to and were able to chat with him for a second. It's happened multiple times now and I´m so grateful for the spirit. Maybe in the pastI  just wasn't able to recognize it as the spirit, but as I´ve been studying and really praying to have the spirit, it´s become more evident to me. 

Happy Father's Day to the best dad out there--I´m so grateful for everything you taught me and for helping to get me prepared for my mission. You´re the best.

Also, my camera broke...it's really weird. The lens is out but it wont turn on or do anything. Should I look to buy one here mom or would you rather send one, like the pink one or something? 

Also, could you find out what little town JV Bollar is from? He´s from here in Spain right? I would like to know, if its in my mission, maybe I could visit it. 

Okay, love you all. Have a great week!
