ịHola todos! It's been a week, but... I wrote everyday in my
journal! I'm so happy:) So here are some highlights of everyday...
Wednesday: We are now teaching progressive investigators in
TRC and our investigator is Victor and he's really nice and loves his family.
He's heard from the missionaries before, but all of their lessons were
scattered. So we started at the beginning with the first lesson and he loved it
:) Classes were the same as always, and we taught Jorge today. We were going to
teach him the part of the Plan of Salvation that we didn't get to in our last
lesson and we ended up talking about the priesthood and that or church is the
only one with the true authority. He's just frustrated because he doesn't think
that he needs to be baptized in our church if he already is in another. It was
good, but not a perfect lesson because we were so unprepared...
Thursday: We had to make investigator profiles so that we
would have a character to play if we ever had to act as an investigator. Mine
is Amalia Vasquez :) Hermano Toledo got sick today so we had a sub during our
last block of class. It wasn't the same, but it was still fun :) And we made a
candy poster for Hermana Johnson. It's her birthday tomorrow :)
Friday: Hermana Johnson loved her birthday poster :) We took
it to the classroom before breakfast so she would see it when we went to class.
We taught Victor again about the Plan of Salvation. I swear I am going to be a
pro at volleyball after the MTC. I love playing and we do everyday. And I'm
getting better at it :) We have started on past tense in Spanish... So much
harder than German! There's like 50 kabillion ways to conjugate everything! And
rules!
Saturday: We had some really good classes today. We learned
how to relate the things in an investigator's life to the lesson to help them
relate to the things they are learning, but also how to effectively invite
someone to baptism. It was great :) And I had a really good experience that
helped me get to know my companion a little bit better :)
Sunday: Fast Sunday!
And best day of the week! We got to listen to Music and the Spoken Word and
Relief Society was really good :) I loved hearing everyone's testimonies and
having the chance to share my own. There was an amazing spirit there :)
District meeting was good too. I had to help lead a discussion on the Book of
Mormon with my companion and some of the insights from my district were amazing
:) And the devotional! So good! Richard Elliot spoke to us. He is the lead
organist for Mo-Tab. He spoke of experiences in his conversion and his mission.
But he also played the organ for us... ¡Hijole! Can that brother play! I can't
see how people can play the organ. They need like 15 other senses... :)... Oh
ya! And I sang with David Archuleta!! Literally :) He came home from his
mission in Chile two weeks ago and he came to speak and sing for us. And in the
closing song we joined in with him in the last verse of Hark All Ye Nations. It
was cool :) Our film for today was Legacy. I forgot how cheesy that movie is,
but it's still so good :) And I met some Tongan missionaries too! They were
super nice :)
Monday: Classes classes classes..... They're really starting
to crack down on us so that we will be prepared when we get to Mexico. More
volleyball and just having fun as a district :)
Today we went to the temple and hopefully THIS week we will
hear from Elder Holland. We didn't last.... Anyways love you all and please write!
Love Always,
Hermana Walker
