Dear Family and Friends,
i can't believe i'm leaving for North Carolina
on monday! actually i have to be at the travel office at 3 am but at least i
can sleep on the plane!
So this has been crazy. i've had amazing
experiences pretty much everyday and i love my companions. somedays i want to
kill one of them but my other companion is amazing we have gone through thick
and thin and we are so a like. our families are almost the same. Mostly this
week has been packed with the lord challenging me and trying to get me out of
my comfort zone and allow myself to just speak up or just teach instead of
doubt myself and pull away.
Mostly this week i have learned the importance
of companion and personal study when preparing for teaching. i took a class one
on one with a sister where she helped me through different scriptures and how
to study and how to explain it to a specific investigator or anything. also
just last night i noticed the importance of listening and being influenced by
the spirit. we have had a hard time preparing a lesson and having it go well.
my companions and especially Sister Bingham were getting doubtful and
frustrated and i did all i could and prayed so hard and then when we got back
together i said we are not going to plan an actual lesson we are just going to
read the book of mormon and answer her questions and our end goal should be to
try and end with an end goal like bringing the Book of Mormon back to the
atonement and so we went in to teach we talked and asked about the Book of
Mormon and if she had any questions and it smoothly went into the Plan of
Salvation and wow i knew the spirit was there she smiled and she started to get
emotional but she always told us what she thought. she told us what she
believed and oh my goodness she believed everything we told her and everything
she thought about. we finished and left and i have never been so happy and up
lifted.
i knew even though it was a practice but not
felt so real and so amazing and i knew Heavenly Father was their the whole time
and he helped me and my companions. i have dealt with Stress and doubt this
week but i have never been more grateful. Don't worry mom not enough to use
your letter. i knew that this doubt and fear was coming from Satan and wanted
to get me down. i felt like it was motivating me and i was able to strengthen my
companions with my love and help to them. i learned also if we plan a lesson
and it may not go as planned that my Savior will help me because i put in the
work!
I love This Gospel and the light it has
broughten me already in just 10 days being in the field and i can't wait for
more experience yet to happen.
i have to go but i want to thank to
people this week who sent me letters through " Dear Elder" your
letters were never more perfect in timing and never has left my mind in how my
week has been. i know my Heavenly Father is watching over me and i am where i
am supposed to be. i am grateful i get to finish off my time at the MTC
and go to the temple. What better place to go when my weeks has been so
enlightening and Next time i will be emailing i will be in Wonderful humid
North Carolina and i can finally start the real thing. Till next P-day!
P.S. Sorry no pictures couldn't figure it out on this
computer!!!!
