This was such an amazing week (like
usual) I got to teach EIGHT real life investigators!! It was so good to
get some practice with real people before I hit the field this week! Two
of my favorite lessons were when I got to help a full grown man learn
how to prayed. I prayed word by word and he repeated it for his prayer!
It was so fun!!
Then we taught a lesson and we were talking
about the saviors sacrifice and what not. While hermana banks was
testifying I felt super prompted to share Alma 7:11
with this investigator and so I turned to it super fast and had him
read it. As he read it he got really emotional and started to cry. I
asked him why he was crying and he shared some personal trials he has
gone through and how the saviors atonement helped him through it. It was
a very powerful lesson. It is so crazy to think with my broken Spanish I
was able to help the spirit testify of the power of the atonement.
Then
me and Hermana Banks got to help translate from Spanish to English
because the nurse needed help figuring out what was wrong with a Latino.
It was so exciting to finally have enough Spanish to help someone else
understand!
I have been laughing SO hard this week and I am
pretty sure it is my way of trying not to act nervous for when I enter
the field this coming Tuesday.
We sadly found out that a missionary got shot in Honduras this past
week because of gang violence. Hearing that made me super nervous but I
know in whom I have trusted and I know that the Lord will always provide
a way and he has a plan.
It is not about numbers once I get
to the field. I am not trying to see how many baptisms I can get on my
mission. My purpose is to make disciples of Jesus Christ, and by so
doing they will have the desire to follow his example and come unto him
through baptism. I know that leaving to the field will be a big change,
and it is gonna be a little scary. But never the less I am so motivated
to share the Fathers story, and the sacrifice of His son.
Alright I am not sure when I will email next but I will email as soon as I can in RETALHULEU!!!!!!!
Con Amor,
Hermana Salisbury
