Well it has been another good week
here in Opelousas. The weather has definitely taken a big turn, some
might say for the worse, but I like it. For the past week it has been
cold and very rainy!! Yay! It isn't fun for the English Elders though
because their car has been in the shop for two weeks now so they have
been on bikes. Can't do much when it is raining all day everyday. Elder
Bean and I took them to some of their appointments when the weather was
really bad.
So another thing that is new this
week is that Elder Bean and I have started teaching Fransisco English.
He wants to learn the Gospel in English because he gets asked questions
when he is at work. He told us that he needs to learn the words in
English so that he can actually explain what everything is. We are
teaching really basic at this point. We have gone through the ABC's,
verbs and other things like that. This next week we are getting into
more of teaching the Gospel in English so it should be fun! And I never
want to be an English Teacher.... It is to hard to explain all the rules
of the English Language.
We also had another
lesson with Floyd this week. We met Floyd last transfer when we went to
drop off a Bible for his wife who ordered one online. When we dropped it
off he answered the door and asked us if we would come back a different
day and study the Bible with him. Yesterday was our second day being
able to meet with him. While we were studying the Bible we had the
opportunity to bring in the Book of Mormon and also a short little
Restoration lesson. It was really awesome and Floyd seemed open to the
idea of more scripture. We also got to share with him the
#lighttheworld video. He really enjoyed it and we could tell that it
made an impression on him.
Other than that our week has been pretty slow. Just trying to spread the Gospel and live as best as we can.
Remember, Christ is the reason for the season. He is the greatest of all gifts. In John 14:27 He says:
27 Peace I leave with you, my
If we center our lives on Christ then we will have peace greater than the world can ever give.
I love you all and hope you have a Merry Christmas season!
