Terrell: Dear Elder Sweat
Hello! Sounds like you are learning how to teach and contact investigators in Spanish! This is something that you will likely learn on an ongoing basis throughout your mission. The more that you can improve your teaching and your Spanish, the better off you will be. I still like the idea of choosing 15-20 words per day, writing them down, and learning them.
Elder Sweat:
I've been trying to speak solamente Español through out the day and that has helped me a lot. I try to memorize around 20 or 30 words. It's hard to fit in sometimes, but I want to learn.
Terrell:
How is Elder Trepanier doing? I liked your scripture in Matt. 9:37-38. I'm pleased to hear that you are finding scriptures that are meaningful to you. It's hard to believe, but your time in the MTC is coming to a close. I hope that you are making the most of it as it's a great time to be totally focused on learning and preparing to go out into the real world and serve. I look forward to hearing about your week! I'm so pleased that you are serving and doing your best. Stay strong and keep up the good work!
Love,
Dad, Mom, and Family
Elder Sweat: He is doing pretty good. He got pretty sick and I ended up giving him a priesthood blessing cuz he felt like he needed one, so that was def new. Ya, the scriptures have some pretty cool stuff in them and applicable for today. It was def written for this generation. Ya, we actually leave early. Not a full 6 weeks cuz of meetings with the stake presidents or something, so really soon, ha. This is the last full week. I'm trying hard to stay focused and not waste time. Ya it will be crazy. More missionaries left today in the morning, so it keeps getting faster and faster. Nothing too much happened this week. Still a little sick, but it's all good.
Terrell:
"Although your beginning fire of faith may be small, righteous choices bring greater confidence in God, and your faith grows. The difficulties of mortality blow against you, and evil forces lurk in the darkness, hoping to extinguish your faith. But as you continue to make good choices, trust in God, and follow His Son, the Lord sends increased light and knowledge, and your faith becomes settled and unwavering. President Thomas S. Monson said: “Fear not. … The future is as bright as your faith.” - Elder Neil L. Andersen, October 2015 General Conference
Elder Sweat:
That's a sick quote. Thanks.
Love,
Elder Sweat
YOUR FAITH WILL NOT GROW BY CHANCE---BUT BY CHOICE
