Oh my dear mother i love you. its crazy how long its been since pday. two extra days is just. so much harder! hahaha i broke down twice this week. but! its ok. i got this. =D hahaha just a couple of bad lessons oh well i have alot to say today!
First off dad. your letter. thnak you for them i love them always =D
guess what ive won the game of speed more than anyone here. so be proud dad! im draining threes all day! Cadia! =D My luggage is the same as it was when i left. im not worried one bit. ill let you know more once i go to costa and it takes a flight... =P: keep it in your prayers >.< can you do that? who knows.. im a missionary. i pray for everything.
So my teacher, and my investigator Hugo, (they are the same person.) hahaha switched with our schedules and i cant figure out this picture thing i have to go to main campus to use it. =P but. i miss him =P but we got a cool new teacher, hermono serrato, native from mexico and like that isnt hard enough to understand he has a lisp. so yeah. its cool to me. i like it but.new world to our lessons! oh yeah! so my spanish is at a point where im not learning im losing it. so we have to talk in only spanish now. which is hard cause our spanish consists of the restoration vocab. but... hey. thats how you learn! hahaha i love spanish now. =D
so yeah. had a bad lesson yesterday. i didnt feel the spirit and i couldnt remember my spanish. not sure. why. but afterwards. hermana powell. the greatest teacher ever. sat down and she can follow the spirit so freaking well! well she taught us to listen to the spirit. and we practiced. asking questions and answering through the spirt. it was the best feeling in the world i was so mad after our crappy lesson. and how bad i did. than. i got to bathe in the spirit. i loved it so much. i love the spirit. =D
Our new investagotor. is easy. she is open and knows alot. its throwing me off! hahaha we always have the tough investagadors and we havent taught an easy lesson. hahaha thats prolly why its not going well.
Another new investagador is Eric, our new teacher, he is like a rock. its so hard to teach him. but the spirit is like a sledgehammer. well. a sword too! you know what is so cool!!!!!
Well we had the presididng bishop in the general athourities talk to us. and he talked about the armor of god. but what is thee only thing we have to use. the only weapon. the only offence! well. its the spirit. the sword of the spirit. without it. we cant do much. against the armor of satan almost nothing! just keep that in mind.
Another cool thing i learn this week was from gordon b hinkly. in preach my gospel he saiid. if every one prayed for the members and not just for the missionaries. the gospel would have a much more profond affect on the hearts of the children of men! thats my own words but isnt that so cool! its so true. we need memebers and im not even in the field yet. =P
Keep members in your prayers cause thats how the work will move forward. >.<
another cool thing i learned was from an investigators quote, not sure where i heard it. and im paraphrasing again. =P my memory sucks.
"the First thing a new investagators see is two persons when they open the door. is it a coincidence that joseph saw two personages? our door approaches have to have that kind of affect we have to show them we are from god! and that he has sent us. =D
back to my life. i think i broke down the other day. well. ill just tell you. Pearce and Birrir aka Peirce and beer our best friends in the district above us, well. they left. and that was hard. than! our other good friend elder farmer, (from idaho... yeah i laughed about it everytime i saw him for like a week ahahhahah elder farmer. from idaho.. classic.) and elder lane both went home. its so hard to see it happen but it does. we are the only district in our zone that hasnt sent anyone home. and we dont plan to.
so thats been really hard. but its ok. im doing good =D cause that same day god blessed me with a package from brooke. you need to see some pics of me in my PJS!!! hahaha i love them. she is just amazing! so that was just enough that i needed when i needed it. to lift me up. now im back on my spiritual high. like the spirit is a drug. i just want more hahahah (can i say that?) not sure. but yeah... =D
Cycle of the spirit. i invite you all to practice it. god wont let you down. it goes(hold on while i translate it back to english, naw... ill say it in spanish.)
i dont konw how to write the accent marks on this computer so.. lo siento or spell spanish...
Inspirado preguta---- Eschuando----Pausar (at least 3.8 secondos) compartir por medio de el espiritu.
Its amazing! we practiced it and it just. the spirit speaks through you. we used it on a doubt and investagator had bout being baptized and i love that even when your practiceing god lets you have the spirit. if your trying to learn he wont be like. no. its not real. he will hlep you no matter what! thats so cool! i hope to get to practice it more, practice listing to the spirit cause its so amazing the things that it can do. =D well...
THats all for me this week folks. and i hope to get on later. (oh and the temple opened but our time is so wack im not sure we will make it. but next week for sure)
I love you all... so much. i love this work, and this gospel.
yo amo nuestro salvador y redentor, Jesucristo. Solomente por medio de jesucristo y su expiacion puedemos ser limpio de nuestro pecados. Y Volver de dios. te amo todos personas, y mi famillia. yo se que el libro de mormon es verdadero. que jose smith es un profeta. en el nombre de jesucristo amen.
Love Elder Evans
