Well last week was a little rough leading my sector for the
first time and making all the decisiions and talking in Spanish all the time.
But this week we destroyed! we had 18 lessons which is the most we have had in
a long time and we are working really hard with Emmurson and his mom Paula.
Emmurson is really the only person we are teaching right now that is
progressing and learning anything. He is 10 years old. I feel like I am
teaching Ben the Gospel when I teach him. It is challenging but also fun at the
same time. We have to search and find different ways to teach the Gospel and
help him understand. It is like an adventure and I am always ready for
that!!
So I think i have reached the stage where I
can communicate and talk with everyone so they understand almost everything I
say, but my understanding of spanish isnt too good still. So this Change I am
trying really hard to work on my understanding so I can be a better messenger.
Also I am trying to polsih my spanish and study up on the grammer so I can
sound like a missionary and not a 3 year old. But It is hard to measure
progress with the language I just talk and hope it is correct sometimes but I
think that just means I need to study harder.
Also I think this is the thing I need to
change the most. I am a missionary and I talk about Christ all day everyday but
still I forget him. I forget him when we are walking house to house and
everyone we talk to is not interested and won't listen to anything. Then I
remember him when we talk to someone and they say "ya come in I have some
questions for you". Well it is never like that but the point is I remember
him in the good times but not the hard times. I am trying to focus and him
always because this is not my time it is His time. And when we focus on Christ
we are focusing on others too. Thats the Goal
Ether 12 says to search for Jesus in our
lives. Are we all searching for him or are we just living lives waiting for him
to find us. We need to search Him out because he is there but it is our job to
take the step of faith and act. He is waiting for us to find him by helping
others and searching the scriptures and doin all good things. Moroni
