Hola familia,
como esta? bueno. how is everything? everybody doing good? i really hope so. things are going really good here. it is spanish week where we cant say anything in english. well i slip up ALOT. but im trying. it is really making it difficult to get along with my companion elder leive because he doesnt understand me and i dont understand him. so basically we just get frustrated and dont talk but......in mexico i wont be able to say what i want for awhile to my native companions but oh well. the lord will provide.
yesterday we had a devotional and it was elder clayton of the seventy (i think) anyway he talk about the dream the nebacanzer (i know i spelled it wrong) anyway the dream is in danial and it talks about a stone cut from the mountian without hands. then rolling and feeling the whole earth. the stone is the church and it is growing rapidly already starting to fill parts around the world. over the past years prophets have said the church is growing fast and they keep saying "this is only the begining" i thought that 333 mission was incredible but if this is only the beginning i wonder what it will be like when we get going faster. im excited to be apart of the rolling stone we all are. we are examples through the way we live our lives. i love you guys keep doing your best to follow the gospel of jesus christ. we are so so so lucky to have it.
we taught josue again. it was really difficult because we had things to teach him and he had questions and we only had 15 minutes. my companions kept going with the lesson and i tried to answer his questions. like stuff about the god head. my companions dont listen i think to the investigator. they are to busy thinking what to say next. i try and listen and understand the best i can. it is really difficult when we are all strong in different areas of spanish. at the end of the lesson he said he likes praying it makes him feel good. but he doesnt ask for anything for himself. he wont ask about the BOM and he needs to. so i think we are going to address that next time.
we didnt get to teach ashley this week. (she had someone take her shift in the TEC) so i dont have an update one her.
we are starting to teach lesson 2 (the plan of salvation alot) it has a lot of vocab in there that is hard to explain. atonement is hard to explain in spanish. haha. but with pracitice ill get it.
conference is this weekend and i am so excited to go to salt lake feel close to home again. well closer then i feel now. pracitces have been way good to help me relax. they are in the morning so it is a good way to start my day. we are singing hark all ye nations, go ye messengers of heaven and of course called to serve. it is alot of fun. i love the music staff that is helping us. they make it relaxing and rewarding.
other then that there isnt anything to exciting. i feel better then i have ever felt in a long time. with the wieght that i have lost. (im not gonna say becuase mom will send me more food so i get fat again.) i feel so great everyone in the district saw a picture that was taken of me one the first day....they said i look great. where everyone else (except my companion elder hansen) looks fatter. haha. i feel so good about my self. im not where i want to be but i feel so much better. anyway im out of time for today we havea service assignment to do today before the new elders come in today (like scotty)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!im so so so so so so excited to see him again. i have missed him a ton. oh and connor left for texas fort worth. he got reasigned for a bit. i will most likely be put state side for a bit so ill call (yes i get to call) when i get that so be waiting to hear from me next week or so. ilove you guys so so so so much. keep of the good work. i love you and the lord loves you
love
ELDER TAYLOR PASKETT
