Ya'a'te'eh
This week has been good. We have been working hard, and
still having fun, which is how it seems to go most of the time.
My companion
Elder Eging has been in the area 8 months now and has been 13 months of his
mission on the rez, so he says funny words all the time like 'sit on the
floors' or 'lets go chop some woods'. Its almost like he's barely speaking English now.
We started teaching the children of this less active family this
week. Even if people never come to church they always want their kids to be
baptized. We taught them twice this week and the kids were at church. It
sounded like part of their family will be there next week, I hope that us
teaching the girls will bring the family back, because they are just wonderful
people.
I got the chance to teach Sunday school again this week, which is still
an odd experience No one really ever wants to answer questions so there will
be times when I ask a question and sit and wait for an answer and no one will
answer so i just end up saying the answer and some other stuff. I do kind of
like teaching it though, it gives me a way to serve the people and also to
express some thoughts that I wouldn't any where else.
We are starting another
scripture study class during the week on Tuesdays Thursdays and Saturdays which
will be really good. We will start with the Book of Mormon and go from there
on. I am so excited about this because I know it will be a blessing to these people
if they are able to understand the scriptures better. I have found a true love
for the scriptures and the doctrines out here and I simply want to share what I
know and what I have gained with everyone.
I know that I have a Father in heaven who loves me and knows
me perfectly. My Savior and My Redeemer is Jesus Christ, who died and now lives
for me. And I know that they have put me here for a reason and I will work
until they tell me 'it is finished.'
