She´s an exchange student and she´s been here for a year so she can speak Spanish. We got to talk to her and teach her. It was SO cool. The actual lesson was a little bumpy because it was SO HARD to teach in English. There were actually some parts that I HAD to teach in Spanish because I couldn´t remember or think of the words in English.
The coolest part was when we were talking about Joseph Smith. I think that´s the first time I´ve ever taught about Joseph Smith in English. Well, half in English haha but the spirit was so strong!
I have such a strong testimony that Joseph Smith is a prophet of God. I know that just like Joseph Smith we can pray y preguntar a Dios si la Iglesia es verdadera. I know God listens and answers prayers. We might not have a miraculous vision like Joseph Smith, but we can receive answers through the scriptures, attending church and por medio el Espiritu Santo.
Sunday mornings are always busy! We are calling everyone reminding them about church and then we go around to the houses of our investigators to pick them up and walk with them. We literally run around from house to house banging on their doors trying to wake them up.
This week we were a little more persistent than usual. Poor Gabriel. We are just super persistent. We called him so many times and when he didn´t answer we ran over to his house and started banging on the door. Woke up a couple of neighbors. When he still didn´t answer we started banging on the window right over his bed, and my companion was yelling, "Gabriel! Lavantase!!"
Life of a missionary. Waking people up for church.
Church is SO important. Not only is it a commandment, but it´s a privilege to partake en la Santa Cena. This next week try to bring someone to church! Wake 'em up!
Love you guys!!
