this past week we taught Togeg, Ali, francella and keioni, arvin and
linda, mike flowath, kayleen, maia, rita, carl, megan, yanrow, yinmed,
maria, wilma, shelma, velma, justina, jim, and.... I think thats
it...? Before every lesson we pray to invite the spirit. It's
interesting I've noticed that when I feel the spirit I get chills that
wrap around me from my spine to my extremities. It's kinda cool. I can
feel when I teach if it's just me trying to spit out words, and when
it's the holy ghost. When it is the holy ghost I can feel authority
behind my words. I don't need to stop and think of what I'm gonna say
next because it just comes I try to always teach this way because
well, it's the most effective way. If i was a pagan missionary... man
life would be rough.
hmmm answers to my prayers? well I think my biggest answer was the
language. In the packet it says to always pray in yapese, but it felt
empty to me I didn't feel like I was talking to God, plus the locals
always pray in their native language (woliean, chuukese, palaun...etc)
so i thought they would think I was fake if I prayed in Yapese. one
night I was super frustrated (sister T kinda nagged me about my
praying) so I went out on the tiny back balcony alone and prayed in
yapese that God would help me with the language. slowly as time passed
I learned. I can now understand people well enough to reply in short
sentences but thats all I need to share the gospel. :)
next question, I may not ever go to Guam again :/ they pulled sisters
off Saipan so now were the only island with no STL and they will
probably just skip over us :P no Fro yo for us :[
next I can't really pin point one BOM story. but often times we relate
ourselves to Alma and Amulek because Alma was a totally foreign
missionary and Amulek was a local. They were together for a long time
and they suffered together. Finding the "isles of the sea" scripture
was cool we used that in a lot of lessons. Abinidi was a power house
missionary Gotta look up to that guy. Ammon was pretty good with
knives I can relate to that ;)
well I hope this answers your questions kafel!
