February 6, 2017 - Changes

How is it already February?!?! I know I have said this before but the time is already flying. Everyone has always said that the MTC and your training feel like a lifetime. After that is when it supposedly starts to go faster and faster. The MTC sure did feel long but my training has been going so fast. Today is my first day out of my training and im scared for it to go any faster, it will be over too quick. 

So today we found out that Elder Bailey has changes so we will see soon who the new comp will be (changes are on wednesday). Elder Bailey and I have become super close and I feel like we really have gotten this companionship down. He has been here for all 4 changes he has in the feild and he is finally leaving me and is home :(

So besides that this week was another that we worked hard and had some good lessons. This week we have been working a lot with a some what new family in our teaching pool. It is a family of 3, mom, dad, and 8 year old son. We first taught them last friday. That lesson we set a baptisimal date for the 4th of March with them. We passed by their house the next day to just remind them about church and reinvite them. They ended up inviting us in and we taught them that day too. The dad was sick the next day for church but the mom and son came. Well we have kept teaching them this week and they have all been progressing a ton. They read the pamphlets that we leave for them and the Book of Mormon too. I mentioned El Salvador time last week or the week before, but if we are ever late to a lesson we had planned with them, we get a call wondering where we are. They all were at church today and they are doing awesome, I cant wait for the 4th haha. 

Well this week one of the highlights was having interchanges with Elder Junior and Elder Feliz. Not only because I got to have a break from Elder Bailey, but I learned a ton. We had a half day with each one, which was awesome to see how they teach and go about things, and apply it to my style and way I teach. I really learned that people can tell if you are confiedent in your message. If we show that we are not confiedent in our message, people are not going to follow through with committments and actually trying to come to know the things we teach are true. Why would they take advice and teachings of someone who doesnt even seem to know it for themselves. I know I am always going to have to learn more, and I am grateful that I got this lesson early in my mission so I can apply it sooner then later. 

Well sorry but we didnt have anything too out of the ordinary happen here. Sometimes that is the best though. I get to be a servant and tool in the Lords hands, help and see lives change, what is better then that? I love you all and hope you all have an awesome week! With much love and many prayers from the best place in the world!

Love,

Elder Adams
