So yes, it finally happened and I got a little bit sick on Thursday
so our schedule fell a little. But, it picked back up on Sunday and we had
8 straight lessons after church yesterday! It was great!
To answer questions on studying, we study anything personal for an hour. I study in
English, as does my companion. Then we have a companion and language
study which is us practicing lessons, talking about lessons, talking
about the language, etc. There are many things members struggle with
here including smoking, drinking, and not married people having kids.
There are some really dependable people and some that are really not
dependable..which really stinks because some people live so far and we
walk everywhere.
So this week we focused a lot on enduring to the end. We go and we
ask people, what is enduring to the end? And they usually say well being
good and following the commandments. Correct! What else? Haha and that's
where we start teaching. It's more than just keeping the commandments and
avoiding temptation. Its continually strengthening our faith and trying
to become more Christlike. no one is ever done enduring to the end. Why
do we endure to the end? To get eternal life and eternal happiness! Easy
as that!
A few other things, they don't really celebrate Thanksgiving here. Cinnamon bears from Rocky Mountain are something I miss and working there..but still love it here. We've had fun playing soccer for p-days. I'll try and send videos but it depends on the cyber.
Well I still love it here. Great week ahead!
