The Holy Ghost is no longer my only companion. I have five! The three sisters who share a room with me are my companions when I'm outside of the classroom and I have two elders I'm companions with during class. I know. The scandal.
I'm really glad for them though because it makes teaching our "investigator" so much easier and takes a lot of stress off of me. Because before I was pretty much teaching all on my own with the occasional help from a teacher. It was hard.
Speaking of teaching I had a really cool experience. Even though our current investigators aren't real and we're just learning how to teach in Spanish I know that the spirit can be brought out at anytime. We were teaching the plan of salvation. And if the spirit didn't testify it to our investigator it testified to me and to at leas one of my companions that Joseph Smith was a prophet of the lord. Through God's power he restored the true church. And that the Book of Mormon is another testament of Jesus Christ. I was able to bear my testimony about the Book of Mormon in Spanish and still manage to tear up because the Spirit WAS there. It was really amazing.
And the past two weeks I've had the slight fear that I wouldn't be able to share my testimony effectively and bring the spirit the way I know how because of the language barrier. But that wasn't the case and it makes me so happy that the Spirit can be there even if my Spanish is crap.
Anyway that was a really cool spiritual experience for me. But besides that I've been chilling here at the CCM. Learning Spanish. Learning the Gospel in Spanish. And trying my hardest to speak Spanish as often as possible. If you can't tell there's a lot of Spanish. I did really well yesterday. I went three hours without speaking a single word of English. I didn't talk as much. But I didn't speak any English so success!
Anyway I must go! They're kicking me off! But I love you guys! And I love hearing from you! Till next time!
