I can't believe I'm down to the last week at the MTC already! I got my flight plans a couple days ago and I leave next Wednesday really early in the morning. I'm supper excited! This past week we have been reviewing a lot. Going over a lot of the Gospel Doctrine and reviewing all of the Spanish we've learned so far. My companion and I taught our investigator for the last time on Friday and that was so hard to say goodbye to him. I've grown such a love for him and I love seeing him so happy as he continues to grow a love for this gospel and gain his own testimony! He gave me his email so we could stay in touch:) My companion and I taught each other and it was such a cool experience. I had been praying about something and the scripture she shared with me was the exact answer I needed to hear. Its amazing how revelation through the spirit works, and the same experience happened to her. I have learned that if we constantly strive to keep that spirit, then we will be able to teach our investigators what they need to hear. Yesterday we were able to hear from Jorge F. Zeballos of the seventy and there were 3 things he said that stuck out to me. He said "Its not enough for them to just know the facts, they need to feel the truth of our message, and they need to make the decision themselves to make the change in there life. Our commitments and verification is essential to there conversion. If we don't commit them and follow up it's like starting a journey without finishing it. Without action the commitment is hollow. Last but not least this Gospel is a Gospel of Love. Everyone is a son/daughter of God....treat them like so! Your attitude can change everything. The way you smile and act around people influences them! I challenge you all to smile everyday!" God loves everyone no matter what!! I love being a missionary and I can't wait to get to Texas next week!!! This Gospel is True!! I can't deny it! I know Joseph Smith was a true prophet and that he restored this gospel on the earth for us today! Without it I don't know where I would be!! I love you all!
Love,
Hermana Mann
