The previously posted WT letter of December 15, 2017 "Re: 2017 Service Year Report" was for the UScongregations.

The second (and third) paragraphs of the letter are being re-written to feature highlights in the local field to the congregations that it is addressed to...

Below is the local section of the SPANISH letter:

December 15, 2017, TO ALL CONGREGATIONS Re: 2017 Service Year Report

Dear Brothers:

[snip]

Regarding the activity in Spain. You will be glad it was a historic maximum in the number of publishers, reaching a total of 112,916, which represents an increase of 1% over the previous year. On average, each publisher devoted about 11.8 monthly hours to preaching. which equates to 1,332,408 hours each month. It is very encouraging to see that 16,499 brothers served as regular pioneers. As a result of that evangelizing work and Jehovah's blessing, 2,037 new brothers were baptized during the past year of service. This is the equivalent of 29 congregations of 70 publishers and assumes an average of about 5 new baptized people every day of the year. In addition, more than 52,000 Bible courses were reported and we had an attendance of 188,092 to the Memorial of the death of Christ. This summer we also enjoyed the motivating regional assembly entitled "Don't give up". A total of 129,992 were able to benefit from the program. What an animator! True? You will also be happy to know that we currently have 34 congregations and 24 Spanish sign language groups in the country. It is also worth noting the work that many brothers are doing in other languages and that it is evident that it also has the blessing of Jehovah.

The branch of Spain also supervises the work in Andorra and Gibraltar. In Andorra there are currently 3 congregations (Catalan, Spanish and Portuguese speaking), which have a total of 164 publishers. As for Gibraltar, there is a Spanish-speaking and an English-speaking congregation, in which there are 124 publishers. In both places, the brothers have also been constant in their activity and deserve praise for it.

      What is the best way to do fasting?

      By Pudgy · Posted

      In 1971 I fasted for 90 days and lost 100 pounds … a pound a day … with the IBWH, “I’m broke, and what the hell” diet. The first week was uncomfortable. Not recommended if you are over 40 years old, or are not chubby to start with. I did drink a lot of water.

      What do Jehovah's Witnesses think of Bitcoin?

      In real life “Maria” is probably really someone that looks a lot like Danny DiVito with a skin rash.

      Maria followed me on Twitter one fine day and she was drop-dead gorgeous. No, I did not follow her back for that reason. Trust me on this: drop dead gorgeous women throw themselves at me all the time; it is a great nuisance because all I want to do is think about God. In fact, I didn’t follow her back at all, not even for the reassuring profile photo she displayed, consisting solely of “Jehovah” in gold-embossed letters. However, I did scroll her timeline and found a suitable place to leave a comment. She soon replied that she had just texted me. Sorry, I told her, I don’t do DM. I stay on the public side of Twitter. “Why?” she wanted to know. “Because if I do so I am immersed in dozens of private chats and I can’t keep up,” said I. She responded that, in that case, I could contact her on WhatsApp. I didn’t reply to that one. Next thing you know she has disappeared and all her notifications with her! I searched out her username: “Account suspended for violation of Twitter rules.” Hmm. I searched for the name on Facebook. It links to a certain bit-coin trader, also drop-dead gorgeous. No, Maria, my dear, I have all the bit-coin I need, thank you very much—even though you are drop-dead gorgeous, even though your profile does say ‘Jehovah’ so I know you are one of us, probably belonging to the congregation right next door. I’ve no doubt she has a separate profile that says Jesus, another that says Buddha, Dagon, Moroni, Baal, and a dozen others.  It is called ‘Affinity Fraud,’ winning someone’s confidence through feigned common roots. It factors into the making of E.T—The Sequel, a movie you may not have seen. In the original, cute, adorable, toddler E.T. charms all who are pure enough to let him into their hearts. But in E.T.—the Sequel, he returns as a surly teenager. He curses, spits, brawls, swears, and in the end destroys the earth with his white-hot power beam, starting with Wall Street.  Steven Spielberg, the movie’s creator, had just lost an ever-loving fortune to the Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme. Both were Jews. Virtually all of Madoff’s victims were Jews. It was affinity fraud. Not that Maria’s scheme is a fraud, necessarily, but her means of contact certainly was. She’s probably not even drop-dead gorgeous. She’s probably an old hen. And even if she is not, so what? Is not Mrs. Harley also drop-dead gorgeous?

      "Grace" means "undeserved kindness".
       
      "For we all received from his fullness, even undeserved kindness upon undeserved kindness."
       
      "Speak to one another with psalms, praises to God, and spiritual songs, singing and accompanying yourselves with music in your hearts to Jehovah,  always giving thanks to our God and Father for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ."
       
      As you reflect on the blessings (superabundant blessings beyond all we could ask or conceive!) made possible by Jesus' precious blood this Memorial, may you continue to rejoice in the undeserved kindnesses of our beautiful Creator and Friend, Jehovah! Praise Jehovah💖☺️
