So this week has been kind of interesting. First of all I am
writing today because yesterday was a hollady here and nobody goes to school or
works so the President just told us it would be better to just have Pday today.
Anyway last week on wednesday my companion had surgery on
his big toe because he had an ingrown tonail. It was super nasty and he couldnt
walk so we stayed in the Pención (apartment) for all of thursday friday and
saturday. It was kina a long week but we got some good studying in. We pretty
much just read all day long and pracitced teaching lessons. But on Sunday he
was ready to go and we were able to go to church and work on Sunday night.
As of right now we really only have one pregressing
investigator and his name in fillyberto. He is really awesome and we are really
excited that we found and are teaching him. Today for our district meeting
President Heyman and the assistents came to do a practice and help us be better
teachers. The practice is they have a bag of all of the seccions from chapter
three in preach my gospel (the lessons) and each companionship picks one
randomly and then gets two minutes to prepare to teach it to a mock
investigator in ten minutes. Then President Heyman tells you what you did well
and what you did crappy on. Yeah no pressure. So ofcourse me and my
companion got to go first. We did pretty well but i really enjoyed the advice
we and all the other misionaries got. First I am going to praise my dad a
little bit because he gave me some advice that President Heyman repeated to me
pretty much word for word. My first really hard class that I took in highschool
was my junior year history college level class. we had to read a lot of books
and take a lot of notes and study a lot. Well I asked my dad how I should read
and take notes and how I should study (especially if I dont have much time) and
he told me that almost always the first declaration or sentence in every
section is the most important. Well president Heyman said that exact thing
about Preach my gospel. He said the most important thing in every section is
the forst sentence unter the topic and if we can only read one thing about the
topic thats what it should be. So thank you dad. I also learned a lot more on
how to be a better teacher and how to teach the true, simple, and pure doctine
of the gospel. I dont have much more time to write but I want to let you all
know that I am corking very hard out here and I am trying to be the best
teacher, missionary, and servent of god that I can be. I am so grateful for the
gospel and all the people in my life that are examples to me and help me very
much.
Love Elder Anderson
