I
figured I can justify putting a subject line in Spanish since I taught two
lessons in Spanish this week. It was very difficult, but awesome. It was to the
father of a Part-member family in the ward here--the Chavarrias, from El
Salvador. They are so awesome. Thankfully one of our investigator Rafael's
sons, Dennys, who is a member, can translate for us. I have managed to teach
the principles of the lessons in really simple Spanish, after lots of study,
but I still have such a hard time understanding what they say when they talk so
fast.
We
also had some other really cool experiences this week, like being able to see a
well-loved member of the ward who hasn't been out to church for a few more than
a few years now, and seeing Georgia, the girl that was baptised just before I
came here, get up and bear her testimony in sacrament meeting yesterday.
2015 is here and 2014 is gone! How crazy is that! 2014 was the year that I
spent entirely in the full time service of the Lord, and at the end of it, I'm
still the one indebted to Him, "and will be, forever and ever"
(Mosiah 2:24). I will forever be so grateful for the opportunity I have to
serve as a missionary.
Our Bishop gave an incredible lesson in church yesterday to present the area
goals by the Europe area Presidency to double sacrament meeting attendance in
10 years. The plans for each person to do individually are to bring a friend,
become physically and spiritually self-reliant, and to find an ancestor (it
matches the 3-fold mission of the church). Anyway, I'm pretty excited about it
because if the members do there part we will see some amazing miracles here.
I
love you all a ton and I hope that you have an amazing week!
Love
Elder
