Hey everyone!
I
just want to start of this week with a quote a learned this week...
"A
wise old owl lived in an oak,
The
more he saw,
The
less he spoke,
The
less he spoke,
The more
he heard,
Why
can't we be like that wise old bird"
I
love this! Its such an important life skill that ive been learning on my
mission, and that is to listen! This week we had a zone training and a large
seccion of it was just about the importance of listening. It truly is powerful
though, when we really listen intently to someone, not worrying about what to
say next, we truly know what there saying, that way we can truly help them. it
also helps us feel of the love that person who listens to us. i know when im
talking if someone listens i respect and love them back so much more.
“You can make more friends in two months by becoming
interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other
people interested in you.”

So,
this week, i would encourage everyone, to become interested in other people,
give them your full attention and show them you love them. its an awesome thing
:)
As
for the rest of my week, it went very well! I was sick from tuesday-saturday with
a bad head cold, but thanks to my good friends musinex and dayquil i was able
to still do some work and make it to all of the appointments we had! Now i am
better and ready to work even harder for some of the time i missed due to
sickness last week! should be a great week comming up!
A
few really fun things happened though! Friday we had our second
installment of saturday frisbee at the park, it went awesome! we had
around 12 people playing and we were able to have a great gospel discussion and
teaching moment after we finished playing. hopefully it will lead to great
success in the work!
We
also met some amazing people tracting! some very solid people that we have now
been teaching a few times. hopefully they will be able to come to church this
sunday. one specifically named Sonae, is about a 30 year old black lady with a
crazy desire to learn the truth! she has so much faith and i have great hopes
she will be ready to accept the gospel :)
We
also have a potential new hispanic family that the english elders found for us!
so we are very excited about them and hope to work with them soon. Spanish is
going well for me too! Me and my comp try and speak all day every day together
in spanish, so, im doing great!
Love
you all!
