Summer means two things here...Vacation and HOT!!!  It is easy to tell that summer is here because so many people are in vacation mode.  Here in Europe, people usually take a month long vacation.  Things begin to slow down and businesses aren't open as frequently or as late.  Some only stay open until 2pm and then quit the rest of the day.  It is also very hot here.  Many days you just feel like staying home.

A goal without a plan is only a wish.

Even though it is summer and vacation time for Spain, we are trying to stay busy planning the start of our new work.  We had another ministry meeting today.  Our main focus was to concentrate on two main things.

1.  When the person watches the DVD gospel presentation (click here to learn more about this) that we will be giving out, when they go to the website that is given at the end, what do we want them to see?  What kind of information do we put there to keep them interested, etc.

2.  What do we do next?  After we distribute the DVD gospel presentation, what is our next course of action?

So those are the two main things that we were able to discuss and nail down.

After talking and planing for a couple of hours, we took some students that we have visiting to downtown Madrid.  We went to Plaza del Sol and Plaza Mayor.  We all enjoyed being there and seeing some of the sights in Madrid.
