The baptistry had 3
youth in the morning and we had 2 youth at 4pm. We were done at 5pm.
We had a charla with Aida and Miguel at 6:30
pm. Her visiting teacher was there. She
works at the temple on Fridays. What a
great sister to support this sister who does have some challenges. We taught them how to pray correctly. We gave them a daily prayer chart so that
hopefully we can help them create a habit of daily and nightly prayer. We also
gave them a calendar to mark the positive things they do each day with a +
symbol. It was a great visit and we
have another one scheduled for next week.
I am so terrible at actually speaking Spanish. I don’t know why it can’t translate from my
head to my mouth correctly. I brought
them cookies and told them that my Spanish is not good, but hopefully my
cookies are good. I often feel like just
giving up, but then I think of the people we are teaching and the principle
being taught most often it is about not giving up. It is line upon line. If you mess up, it’s okay as long as you keep
trying and are progressing. So I guess
that needs to apply to me as well! I am
reminded of a picture I once gave to Justin…J It’s hanging
on my door now!
I think my biggest fear was a language when I put in my papers. I struggled at the beginning with a un-loving trainer and wanted to give up a time or two but I could not give up I loved what I was there to do...Thanks for sharing it brought back memories of that!
ReplyDeleteI am the RS pres and lately I have felt so burned our and frustrated. We just went through temple as a family and we were sealed. I Often through working through both of these I have wanted to give up..I m grateful that I have such fantastic examples in my life through the church like you to never give up!
