Our investigators didn't really progress this week which was kind of a bummer. Hopefully this week is different so I have somethings to tell about their progress.
This last Monday and Tuesday a member asked if we could help her teach seminary and we accepted! Let's just say the first day was rough cuz well I haven't taught seminary. In Mezapa my trainer taught it while I sat there confused as to what was going on haha so it was interesting! But the second day we planned an awesome lesson that we were excited to teach all day long haha. The students are learning about the Book of Mormon right now and the second day my part was to teach about Helaman 10 which doesn't have much to it but with the lesson manual it went deep into the details of the chapter. The lesson was talking about meditating/pondering. The students actually payed lots of attention which was awesome and I feel like they learned a lot. There was a phrase that I loved. It said something like we need to put God's will before our own. I loved that because all the students just sat there amazed which was kinda funny top see their faces but the message is so true! God's will before ours and then everything will work out and we'll be happier in the end!
So having pondering on my mind I learned a lot. My comp and I were talking one night about lots of things which some of them were deep doctrine which kinda freaked me out haha but as we were talking I was learning but afterwards i went to shower and was "pondering" on what we had talked about and all of a sudden ideas came flowing to my head for my talk. Oh yeah I gave a talk on sunday about missionary work. I had it all good and planned out and I gave it but when i sat down i had realized that I had been talking for about 30 minutes...... don't know how that happened but the members sure loved to bug me about it. Hopefully I don't have to give a talk in this area again haha. But yeah I felt like it was a good talk and was super glad that through the Spirit whispering and giving me revelation I was able to write my talk. It was kinda funny cuz I was getting out of the shower when all the ideas came to my mind so I was hauling to dry off and dressed so I could write it all down.
Hope all is well and that you're learning lots. Good luck to those starting school back at home!
