Learning
this was a good week! I learned a lot. I feel like i am
getting better at teaching investigators. I am learning a lot about myself and
my weaknesses. the more i do the more i feel like i am progressing. I used to
get so frustrated with myself because i didn't feel like i was improving/
wasn't as good as everyone else and i didn't understang why. I have learned
that president Uchdorf's talk about looking inward before outward is true. this
week i found as i evaluated myself and let others evaluate me i felt more
happy. I am able to see where i really am at, what i need to do and how i need
to do it. I am getting better everyday and i can see it.
Writing in Cursive
you may think this is funny but among all the other
things i am trying to improve and learn i decided i want to learn how to write
in cursive. haha i learned how when i was in elementary but i never used it and
i quickly forgot. this past week i was thinking about the General Conf.story
about the woman who forced her kids to read and give reports and i kinda realized
that successful people all have libraries(they read) and (this is the
revelation part) they all write in cursive. haha. so every night i have been
writing my journal entries in cursive. haha at first it looked worse than joe's
handwriting!haha(don't tell joe) but it is slowly getting better and i am
slowly getting faster. there are still some letters (especially capital
letters) that i can't remember how to do. can someone send a guide? haha!
thanks!
Zone Leaders
this week the Zone leaders came to our district meeting
to see if i am doing everything i need to. they are both very good at giving
trainings and inspiring missionaries to do there best. at the end of the
district meeting they gave me really good advice(improvements haha). After the
district meeting we went on exchanges again with the elders in our district.
this time i went with the Jr companion, Elder Francis. he has only been here
for 4 weeks and he is experiencing the joys of not knowing the language. haha.
He is a great guy. super nice and always happy but, I never realized how hard
it is to teach without the support of a companion that can speak the language.
I have always had companions that could speak very good tagalog. haha lets just
say i gained a lot of respect and gratitude towards my trainer Elder Payne.
haha.
