wow, already? that was quick. how are they both doing? both healthy? i thought of her when i was in the temple this morning.
ill remember her and cooper in my prayers.
speaking in church, huh? haha no worries. talks are easy, i had to give one in spanish this past sunday in sacrament meeting. it went pretty well, i was happy. i spoke about the gift of the holy ghost. to have him as our companion we need to be baptized, have faith and be obedient. oh course the holy ghost can be with us temporary before baptism, but if we want him constantly (which everyone should) we need to follow the saviors example and be baptised by immersion. and i also added for the missionaries that if we dont have the holy ghost with us, we will fail. as missionaries we might sometimes think we go out in two sharing the gospel. but we should always be in 3's. and i expounded on all of that, but thats the main part of it. missionaries and anybody is useless without the holyghost there testifying though you and directly to our friends (investigators).
if i could give any adive on your talk, it would be to stress the point of "every member a missionary". i wish i know how important sharing the gospel to everyone you can was before the mission. you dont need a nametag to bear your testimony or invite a person to a ward activity. also think hard on others who you can suggest to the missioaries. people are so much more willing and excited to here this message if they are refered by a friend. even if you dont think theyll like it. the numbers dont lie. the success rate is dramaticly better than converts found through tracting. talk to the ward/stake mission director. he'll give you plenty to talk about! get excited, and get others excited, youre sharing the message of our savior...
i could go on forever about this because i am very passionate about it at the present time, but i think that much will do.
i cant think of anything i need yet... i so distracted by so many things, but ill keep note of what ill need. thanks.
i dont have my date yet, by my latest letters say im leaving a week early, on the 1st...i think thats in 8 days. way excited!!!!!!
and spanish is really coming now, i taught for 20 minutes in spanish the other day. it was so cool! the only slow part is understanding native speakers and their huge vocabulary. but ive been getting lots better through turning to the lord. the gift of tongues is real! and singing in spanish is much more fun too, everything rolls better.
oh gotta go out of time love you all
