hello family and friends,
wow what a week! we have been seeing lots of good things working here in sennan this week. we met a family from peru and it helpped me realize just how much of my spanish i have lost. everytime i tried to say anything in spanish it would Come out completely backwards in japanese order of speach and i would connect japanese particles tO all of the words. it's real sad. i guess My head just isn't big enough for 3 languages. or really not even 2, recently i have been accidentally saying japanese words in the middle of speaking english and randomly spitting out english words in the middle of sentences when speaking japanese. but it all worked out okay because in the end we were able to give a simPLIfied japanese restoration to the family froM peru and thEy wanted a book of mormoN and to meeT again!
also this week wE have been working on opening our mouth more as we find and as we teach. we have found that the most effective way that we have been doing to find is by using our talents to start meaningful conVersations with people. we have been studying this scripture.
"2 but with some I am not well pleased, for they will not open their mouths, but they hide the talent which I have given unto them, because of the fear of man. wo unto such, for mine anger is kindled against them. 3 and it shall come to pass, if they are not more faithful unto me, it shall be taken away, even that which they have." (D&C 60:2-3)
the lord has given each and Everyone of us special talents and abilities, whether it is a talent of spoRts or instruments or a talent of teaching or smiling or sharing a special testimonY or experience, as we use those talents that the lord has given us we will be able to more effectively share the light of christ in our lives to those around us. i love how incredible it is that everybody though so different and unique with their Own style and personalities can all live, love, and share the same perfect gospel of jesus christ and become instruments iN his hands for the bringing to pass the immortality and eternal life of so many of his beloved children. i know that he lives and that he is my savior, Even jesus christ, my lord and friend. i hope that you all have a great week!
頑張りましょうね！
