Learning So Much
Hi Nanay!
I
hardly know how to start this week. It went by sooo fast! I am learning
so much! Mostly spiritually this week, while last week was more
language that anything else. Probably my favorite part of this week was
TRC. It's when members who speak Ilonggo (mostly RMs but also one
Philipino lady) come and are taught by us. 20 minutes each, which flew
by! Almost like visiting teaching. Except in Ilonggo. It was great
because Sister Lewis and I had just been talking that same day about how
it has been hard for us to feel the Spirit when 1) we are stumbling
over our words and 2) we can't understand anything that the investigator
is saying. But, in TRC we were stumbling over our words and having a
hard time understanding them, but the spirit was super strong! It was
great! We only have one more TRC with real life people, and then we just
skype with people in the Philippines...which I'm kinda bumbed about.
Skpe isn't the same as real live contact.
The
temple today was by far the best temple experience I've had so far.I've
been thinking a lot about the Atonement and the Plan of Salvation and
have received a lot of cool insights. It's amazing how many of my own
questions I think of when I am about to teach something. I mean, my
questions are about things that are beyond the scope of the missionary
lessons. But still. Teaching the lessons has opened my mind to my own
questions. Poor Sister Lewis--she is so full of faith, and I think
sometimes she worries about me when I ask the questions that I do...and
also might be a little frustrated because she doesn't have the answers.
I also ran into my old RS president, Heather, (from my ward at
Allred) at the temple. She was walking out just as we were entering the
temple That was great.
