Hey
everyone!
IVE
BEEN OUT FOR A MONTH!!! that is just crazy to me! it literally seams like just
yesterday i was on a plane and now im in the last stretch of my time here at
the mtc! In the course of a month ive learned so much spanish, it is
incredible! the gift of toungues is real and i know it helps me every day! the
more we practice the easier it is, it just shows that through the lord, nothing
is impossible, if anyone has any trials in their life, the atonement can and
will help you! christ has so much love for his children and if you show him you
love him he will do anything to help you, thats what older brothers are for.
On
sunday i was made the new district leader of district 9-c, our old district
leader is now our zone leader and so im in charge of our districe, its not
anything special, but it gives me the opertunity to better serves those in my
district, and i feel very very blessed to have that opertunity! In our district
meeting i asked for imput on goals, and my district really stepped up to the
plate! our classroom is now a spanish only zone, any english in class results
in the punishment of 30 seconds of wall sits every single time it happens! you
can already see everyone improving from it! our study time is more focused and
our language skills are increasing rapidly! its like seeing blessings unfold
right in front of your eyes! in addition every saturday and tuesday are solo
espaol. meaning no english all day for any of the district members. Its hard
but the more you practice the easier it gets. Through hard work and massive
blessings i know the lord will help me speak in a way that will bless peoples
lives!
So
to share one expirience before i end, Me and my companion have had some
troubles working in unision during lessons, so a few days ago we had a heart to
heart about hoqw we would teach. I am some one who likes to talk and he is
someone who has a much harder time just talking about stuff. We studied PMG for
a while together and found that if we would set our lessons up in a way that
one of us talks about a topic and then the other talks about the next topic we
would be more successful. We also read to pray for your companion while he is
speaking. IT HAS BEEN AMAZING! the spirit has been so much stronger when we
have taught together rather than just one of us talking! we share scriptures to
back eachother up and you can feel the strenth of your companion praying for
you! Weve been able to share many more expiriences and really focus our
lessons on how to help our investigators rather than just a pre writen peice of
paper. That is the true way to tach, by the sprit, so that the spirit can be
the real teacher!
Lastly
i am super excited because as i was writing this email i received the use of a
violin! the choir director lady asked if i would play for the choir on sunday
at devo and i am so pumped! we are given talents to use them and i know i need
to practice but im so excited to help create a beautiful peace of music again.
Music truly does bring the spirit. look at d&c 25:12 ´´for my soul deliteth
in the song of the heart, yea the song of the ritous is a pray unto me, and it
shall be answered with a blessing upon their heads´´ Im not much of a singer so
having the opertunity to play is really awesome for me :)
anyways,
i want everyone to know that i love them, that through the power of the holy
ghost, through god, we can do anything. and through christ and the atonement,
we can live forever with families, for thats what is truly most important in
this world.
love,
Elder steele
