Hey everybody!
I almost forgot to write this again but I remembered so I'm proud of myself lol. This week was good, We started practicing teaching in spanish this week. Me and my companion are teaching "Isaias" who is actually just our teacher Hermano Betancourt. He does a great job pretending to be a real investigator tho. It's difficult to try and teach in a language that I still don't know very well but we are all getting better fast. The amount of stuff we have to memorize in a day is kind of crazy and the fact that we are all keeping up for the most part is even crazier. The gift of tongues is REAL. I've already learned more than I did in three years of spanish in school.
I went to the temple with my mom today which was great. While I was there I thought a lot about why I'm serving a mission. I think there's a lot of reasons that I could give but in the end it comes down to the fact that I know God restored his gospel through Joseph Smith so that we could come and live with him again. We can learn about how to do that by listening to the words of his prophets, both from the past by reading the Book of Mormon and the Bible, and by listening to the prophet that guides the church today. It's great that I know all of that but there are so many other people in the world that have never heard any of this, and never will unless we go and teach them. The great thing about the gospel is that you don't have to be a missionary to share it so I want to challenge all of you to see if you can find a way to share the gospel with someone this week. It could be anything from sharing your favorite scripture or quote from general conference on social media, to talking to a friend or someone you work with. I know that the Lord will bless you and all the people you share the gospel with so just do it! You won't regret it :) It's almost 10:00 and I've got a lot of stuff to do before I need to be asleep at 10:30 so I'm gonna end this here.
