Training !

Hello everyone!!

Wow, what a week! I found out last Tuesday that I am a trainer! Im
training a new missionary!!! Her name is sister Hansen and she's the
best. She is so ready and prepared and we get along so well! Im
privileged to be able to be her trainer and her companion. Last week
was just a bit stressful for everyone just because we had to go over
so many things and set up technology and get used to the schedule. We
were able to meet and contact referrals and just talk to people in the
street. I think that's one of my favorite things to do, just walk by
someone and stop and talk to them about their lives and about their
day.
We had district meeting on Friday and I gave a discussion on
"adjusting our teaching  to the needs of the investigator". I actually
loved this topic so much because I have a real testimony of it. I
taught that it's important to get to know your investigator, know what
they feel, their concerns and how they react to certain things. We are
taught to teach people and not lessons. This means that we should be
teaching to what that specific person needs to hear. I love getting to
meet new people and love them because of who they are and who they
want to become. By teaching to the investigators needs, it helps me
realize and learn how to be Christlike. It's such a great feeling when
you are trying to help someone for their sake and not for your own. I
think that's why service is so important!
Fun/awkward story of the week.... We received a referral from some
sisters in another mission for a family that was in our area. We
didn't really know anything about them, but we decided to go over and
check it out. We get to their apartment complex, knock on the door and
meet this boy who was probably around my age. We asked if his mom was
home and he said no but to come back the next day. Sister Hansen and I
come back the next day and a girl answers the door and invites us in.
We talked for a little bit, she was from Africa and she knew English
which was nice. Then their mom came into the room and I started to ask
her some questions... She just stared at me and the daughter said she
doesn't speak English. So I asked if we could share a little video. We
shared "because of him" and started to ask questions... The mom and
the daughter went back and forth talking in their native language.
Finally the girl said "my mother doesn't want to hear about your
religion, she just wants a bible that's in keelangi..... I don't think
I spelt that right haha but I was just kinda shocked..... 1. I've
never heard of that language... And 2. I don't even know if they have
that language translated for the bible..... Maybe they do but it was
crazy. So we are currently searching for a bible that is in keelangi
😂
I absolutely love my companion, she is so much fun. We are definitely
going to have a great transfer. I found out that we are going to be
able to go to the temple this Thursday with my old zone. We will go in
the morning and then have lunch at the mission home. I am so excited
for that :)
Miss and love you all. Have the best week ever!!
