Heyo officially finished my fourth week, so I'm like 4% through already but who's counting. It was a really good week, definitely feel like I can feel the spirit more than the last few weeks, I'm understanding more Spanish so I can focus more on the doctrinal side of things. That isn't to say I'm good at spanish yet, It's so difficult and slow to express myself correctly but definitely understanding more. I practiced giving a message with Hermana Patricia over zoom, and it was actually so cool because I could see how far I came. I was able to understand her, (only asking her to repeat a few times haha,) and able to give a good message with Elder Fletcher. Definitely felt el don de lenguas coming into effect there.
Speaking of elder Fletcher, I am realizing I never said too much ab him in my last email. He's my companion, he lives in Eagle, ID. He is pretty shy and doesn't talk too much, but he likes mountain biking and is generally a cool guy. Anyways, not a crazy amount happened this week, just the Spanish memorization grind. Something I've definitely realized thus far in my MTC experience is that our point of view is a powerful thing. I absolutely love the home MTC. It allows me to do the things I love with the people I love and still prepare to serve the lord. I am as amped as can be to get out in the field and bring people to the knowledge and light that has brought me so much joy, peace, and hope in my life. I know i'll probably get out there and it will be like BAM humbling but definitely never been so excited for a humbling in my life.
I've been asked a fair bit for advice on starting a mish in tha home, and while I'm definitely not the most qualified person for this I will say there have been three major sources that have helped me.
1) the fourth missionary- a talk I read. don't actually know who it's by I just looked it up lol
2) Alma 26- banger chapter.
3) Feed my sheep by elder holland- this one was the biggest pivot in my point of view to me. Listening to this talk literally changed the course of my mission.
