Week 4

Hola! So we got less email time today so this will be short - but I have alot of stuff to talk about!

 

I have 2 more weeks left in the MTC then it is off to the field which is so scary because when we went out tracting on saturday I really learned how much I do not know. I went with a latina companion that speaks no english and we taught lessons ( well she did and I would testify at the end haha) Even if I didnt contribuute much just me being there I could tell made people want to listen to us more. Alot of the people are reallly impressed that I would come down and preach and be a missionary so when they find out I don't speak english they are super nice to me and tell me I am pretty all the time. I don't hate it hahah. It is frustrating though because I can follow where the conversation is going and I want to say things to help them and to make the lesson better, but I can't and it is so hard! Everyone kisses down here on the cheek and some guy pulled me into a kiss and I was like oooo, but oh well, I will have to get used to it. And you all know how great I am with person contact and hugging.

 

In other news me and my comp were asked to be the new Sister Leaders. We are in charge of all the North American Girls in the MTC which is about 60 . So I can't say that I am excited hahah, but I think it will be great and a growing experince for me. I will actaully need to socialize. haha

 

We play soccer durring physical activity time everyday now and we play with all the Latinos ( who are so good!) I never knew how much I actaully like soccer.

 

We committed our investigator ( we are practicing on in the MTC) to baptism and it was so great! BAPTISMO!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 I am getting pretty tan..... on my arms, feet, and face only though haha

 

Now for the spiritual - What I have learned most this week is about the spirit. We teach everyday and people will say how they just felt the spirit so strong in our lesson and they have all these spiritual times every day (and as i talked to other girls in my district they felt the same  way). Well I don't feel like that. I feel like I was missing somthing they all had. But then I realized. Its not that I am not feeling it, it just that I have it with me all the time.  We as missionaries are already endowed with the sprit and when we teach, it will be there to bring what we are saying to the hearts of those we are teaching. We dont need a huge experience to have the spirit. I am just so used to  the feeling of the spirit which is great!... Ok so I have so much more I wanna say  about TESTIMONY VS CONVERSION but we have to go, so bye! I love you guys! The chruch is true!
