ZARAGOZA

 Visit with Isabel, we taught her in Barcelona as well, it was fun seeing a familiar face

Hola a todos!

We have been busier than ever, certainly the most busiest time of my mission, thus far. There is lots of work to do here in Zaragoza, and even more work to do with all of the social media work. 

Quick miracle of the week. We were heading back home from a visit with a family, and as we usually do, we took the bus back to piso. As usual, there were a few people waiting at the stop, and so to try to multi-task, I pulled out my phone and started sending messages, and doing some things I needed to do. While I was doing that, a person who was also waiting asked me, where is your church? And we said ah well it is over in this neighborhood, and I went to finish an important message,  but I received a very strong and very clear, put that away, impression. As I received that impression, she then asked us are you guys the Jehovah's Witnesses? And so, we explained a little bit, and we started talking. She is from Africa, but has been in Spain for about 5 years, she has a very cute little boy, and she is currently looking for a church. So we got her number down, and we are going to meet with her this week. Just goes to show that God makes people cross paths, and I think this "path crossing" could be for the better. I can't wait to explain to this mother that she and her young son can be together forever. It is going to be so awesome!!

Another miracle we have seen this week was this past week, we were working pretty late, finishing some things we needed to do, and right as we were going to bed, we get a  notification that our ad account, the account we use for running all of our pages and paid content, was disabled. This meant that all ads, page boosts, and just referrals work on Facebook came to a complete halt. We quickly started doing research on why this happens, and how to fix it. Based on the research we made and looking at the reasons Facebook gave us for why they disabled this account, it didn't make sense. We even saw that this problem can take weeks, even months to fix. So, we kept trying, but we were praying and relying that the Lord would make something happen because we were not sure what to do. A short few days later, we finally get in contact with a Facebook support dude, and this guy is a beast. He fixes the problem for us, and we went on our way. It took us just a few days for everything to get resolved and back and running, and that's not how this problem usually goes. The Lord surely had a hand in that. 

Until next week!
