This week we destroyed!

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 for a long time and we are working really hard with a 10 year old and his mom.   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 hime 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 so 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 polish myspanish and study up on the grammar so I can sound like a missionary and not a 3 year old with spanish. But It is hard to measure progress with the language I just talk and hope it is correct.

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 hard walking house to house and everyone we talk to is not intrested and doesnt want to hear 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 remeber him in the good times but not the hard times. I am trying to focus and him always because this is not my time this 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 doig all good things. Moroni 9:6 Says we should work until the end and if we dont we will be under condenacion. This life is the time to work and prepare to meet god and the next is the time to rest from our labors. I LOVE WORKING!!!
