Goodness I feel like I have been gone forever when I think that I
haven't seen anyone in a while, but when I think about my time here, gosh, I've
still have lots more to learn in the next 2 weeks!!...2 weeks! Where has the
time gone?!?!?!
^^^ I know that probably didn't make
sense, but it is how my mind seems to function :p
I love my life. There isn't a greater joy than being in the
service of the Lord FULL TIME!! This means I get more time to study the
teachings of Jesus Christ. It is truly a remarkable experience here. I feel so
much love for those that I teach, and especially my terrific companion. Hermana
Afu has taught me more so how to love unconditionally, and to slow down and
smell the roses (or at least the flowers that my wonderful mama sends me..
which by the way I keep in our classroom so everyone can enjoy them with me..
and also cause it's where I spend almost my whole day) There is always so much
to do, but I must enjoy the ride.
This past week as we have taught investigators, I have felt so
much more calm and peaceful. I feel like I know enough Spanish to mostly
understand what is being said, or at least the concepts and others are able to discern
what I am getting across as well. Because of this, I feel like I don't have to
make up some lesson where I am speaking at our investigator the whole time; I
feel comfortable talking and learning with them. Not worrying about what I
should say, because we tailor our lessons more so to each investigator as an
individual. It is much less stressful this way.
Each time that I teach a lesson and get asked questions, I find
that I learn something new, or think of something in another light. I've been
able to rely more on Jesus Christ at these times, and this has helped my
testimony to grow as I know that the Holy Spirit is guiding me. :)
So I sent mama and dad and grandma a letter about a James
Tagg... yah it was Jim who the guy at the temple was talking about... I saw him
again today, and it was cool because he knew that Harlem Globe Trotter road
trip story.
Another wonderful surprise was when I went to the temple today and
saw my dear dear great friend MELISSA HOPE!! I was so thrilled to see her, I
was freaking out!! I haven't seen her since January, so yay! I may or may not
have told her when I was planning on going to the temple today in a previous
email...
I'm glad the fama jama is doing well! I've memorized the first
vision in Spanish now, and our "purpose" in Spanish. My companion and
I are started to memorize D&C 4 in Spanish too! My other goal is to finish
1st Nephi in Spanish before we head out. I am on 1st Nephi 11 right now, every time
I read in Spanish I get quicker and quicker and understand more and more. There
is no doubt the Lord is helping me learn and understand all this stuff in
Spanish!
Well I think I've covered about everything
Con mucho amor!
Your favourite missionary.. (I hope) <3<3<3<3 xoxoxoxo
