Awesome week, we were busy with non missionary stuff so it was sort've like a half week
Went to the temple and i absolutely love the temple, it put me in a good mood for like 3 days, i hadn't had the opportunity to go since i was in my first area
I love my mission president he was talking to us and he's like, if theres a girl in the mission that you have feelings for, good, it means you're human and Gods plan is working, but just don't act on any of the feelings during the mission, then after the mission get her email and write all the novels and love letters
We have a super good investigator that wants to turn his life around, he said he wanted to repent of things, and also that he is struggling and doesn't really have a social life, after the first lesson with him he came to church this week, and between the 3 hour block at church, of all the lessons and talks, the only 2 topics were fellowshipping among the members, and the sweetness of repentance, so that was awesome
We got to watch the face to face with Elder Oaks and Elder Ballard it was suuuuper good
So 2 stories for the week...
We went to a members house for a family night, and here they always sing before they start but i've noticed that Bolivian mormons can not sing, and neither can I, also it was after a long day and we were very tired with not a lot of will power, so were singing this hymn and its just so off key and everyone just sucks at singing and while listening to it i could not help but just burst out laughing, my comp also did the same, even tho we cant sing were better than most so we kind of lead the singing so when we stopped the room was a lot quieter and we were just laughing and couldn't stop, and it was 23450923184 times funnier cause it was a time we shouldn't have been laughing, so yeah it was interesting, thankfully it was a member and hes super cool and didn't care
The second one was a little more spiritual, I don't want to sound cheesy when i write this but i learned more about what the gift of tongues really is, and how it is one of the gifts of the spirit. We had an appointment last Monday night and i noticed a difference, the gift of tongues isn't just for learning a new language, when someone has the gift of tongues they speak with the spirit, they know exactly what to say and what will help the person and what the person needs to hear, and the words are powerful, which is something that everyone has heard before and probably already knows but it was just cool to experience it first hand, and i know it has happened at other times in the mission but i just didn't really realize i guess, i was speaking very good Spanish and saying things i hadn't really ever said before, and was excited to answer the questions it was great
Twas a good week
