Andria's Letter:
Hola!!! Como estan??? Yo estoy super bien!!! Super Super Bien!!! It has been a great week this week!!!
Nothing out of the ordinary really happened this week, but I have had a great time. On Sunday, we had a district meeting and we had a lesson from an Elder in our district. He taught us about the importance of recognizing the spirit and about how we can help our investigators recognize that they are feeling the spirit.
As we talked, the spirit testified of the truthfulness of his words. Really, the most important thing in missionary work is the spirit. Without the help of the spirit, we would be nowhere. The spirit is the real teacher and is the one who helps our investigators become truly converted.
It's quite amazing actually. Because even if you aren't that fabulous at speaking Spanish and if you don't really know how to explain something using the words you know, as you do your best and testify of those things that you know are true, the message will be felt in the hearts of those you teach. Because really, having learned Spanish for all of 13 days, it's amazing that anyone is able to understand what we say.
Since last week, we have taught 5 lessons in Spanish and one in English. And we have 3 tomorrow in Spanish. Another thing I have learned this week is that I am not hastening the Lord's work. The Lord is hastening His own work. The work will go forward whether I am helping or not. But I am so glad to be a part of it, and to help God's children find Him.
I am so happy to be here in the MTC!!! It really is, as Elder Holland said, "a rare-ified experience". Seeing so many people who are my age, willing to give up a year and a half or two years of their life to the Lord, is amazing. I love you all!! Have a great week!!!
