WEll unfortunately, I'm sick:( Elder Hilton in our district got the sniffles and throaty not-goodness last week and it has just been spreading around our district. It's kind of impossiblenot to get what your district members have because you are in a 12x12 room with them all day long:) I woke up the morning before yesterday with a very swollen throat and a stuffy nose. Yesterday was the worst of it, but thankfully today was P-day and we didn't get up early to go work out and I had an hour to get ready instead of just 30 miinutes. So it was REALLY nice to have a nice long hot shower and I am feeling much better. Plus I have plenty of medicine, and I know the Lord will help me get over it quickly.
This weeek has been much better than last! I've definitely still had my moments, but everythign seems normal to me now and I am doing just great. We have taught 6 lessons and just started learning how to do door contacts. and yes, MAteo did turn out to be our other teacher. I learn so much here and it is zwesome. Still have a ton to learn though We door contacted a new investigator yesterday (Cesar--one of our teachers;) and my compainion and I were the only one to get in/get a return appointment out of our whole district! Everyone else basically got the door slammed in their face. Even though we definitely have a lot to work on as far as door contacting, I was pretty darn proud of hermana Lythgoe and myself! There have been a few funny moments in lessons where our teacher just starts busting up laughing and we have NO IDEA what we said that was so wrong in spanish! I wish I knew so I could tell you guys, but at least it makes for a funny moment:)
We seriously have to most awesome devotionals here. Elaine S Dalton came to speak in RS on Sunday and it was so SWEET! She is the one that I went to a fireside with and that is when The spirit told me I needed to serve a mission, so it was really awesome to hear her speak. She spoke about the verses from the song "Savoir Redeemer of my Soul" and applied it to missionaries. The spirit was so strong, the whole congreation was just in tears the whole time. "NEver can I repay the Lord, but I can love thee like you word. Then let my lips proclaim it still, and all mylife reflectThy will" It just doesn't work when we think aboutourselves, we have to alwasy look outward and serve others! No matter what we do we can never repay our SAviour for what He did for us, but we must do our best to! WE'll never meet his requirement, but we have to do what we can! Sooo so great. We also had Sherri Dew speak for the Sunday devotional and that was dang good too. I love having the Spirit surround me and fill me all the time it is just so uplifting and awesome. She spoke about the gifts of the Spirit and all the many blessing that we have. WE are so blessed. So so blessed. We have the Gift of the Holy ghost to be with us ALLTHE TIME if we are worthy of it! And we have the gift of the Atonement. SEriously. So blessed.
Another scripture that I found this week was in Alma 18:32 " Yea and he looketh upon all the Children of men, and he knows all the thoughts and intents of the heart, for by his hand were they all created from the beginning" Love that. He know exactly what I am going through EXACTLY. And he loves me soo much. He loves You too and he knows exactly what you wnt and what you think. THat is just so reassuring. He loves us. Amen
