Week 4.5 Sept 6, 2013 -MTC

Time goes by so fast!! 

I don't know what to saayyyyy. Oh. so we had a sub on Wednesday bc irmao roberts was sick :( He makes our day. haha and we hadn;t seen him in forever as it was so it was disappointing. Our sub was awesome though, we did something really cool.. We all took turns teaching her as an investigator and we had 2 minutes till it was the next set of missionaries but we all had to keep going with what the other set were saying. It was way cool! The spirit definitely leads the lesson. It went a lot smoother than any of us thought it would go. 

Yesterday was awesome, Irmao Roberts was back haha and his lesson was just great. Part of it we taught him as him. Just listened to the spirit and said what we felt he needed to hear. So I was kind of flipping through my scriptures.. lah di dah waiting for something to pop out at me or see a scripture mastery that just went along perfectly with what he needed. And i came across Alma 32:41-43. (it's about being patient and dilligent) so i open up my Portuguese set and just sit there. He notices that i might want to say something so i ask him to read Alma 32:43 (the blessing part sort of) And he smiles and I realized that that was the scripture he told us at the beginning of our MTC time that got him through all of the hard times on his mission. It was just so cool! I don't know if it helped him at all but the spirit told me to say it:P and it was just awesome that i had totally forgotten that it was his favorite encouraging scripture and i had been prompted to have him read it... Just great.
Also with Irmao Roberts, we talked about teaching people and not lessons. So that was cool. Dah the Holy Ghost is so important in this work. I seriously have no idea how/why people try to do it with it. We don't know our investigators as well as our Heavenly Father, but if we listen to the spirit, we can say exactly what they need to hear. :) 

We have TRC today, i'm not sure what it stands for but we teach people in portuguse for like 15 minutes, so we planned that lesson. It's about the Book of Mormon:)

We get to go to the temple in the afternoon now! so it won't be as hard to stay awake ;P haha but i'm excited to do that later.


I can't believe i only have like 11 days until i'm in the field. Insane. 

There was a double rainbow yesterday!!! ha it was cool. 

I'm becoming a pro in volleyball btw;) beast ovah heeerrrreee. 

Everyone thinks i'm super ghetto hahahaha. An elder said i have a black lady personality. thanks? He also said i'm Cindy Lou-Who hahaa nice..

I'll send a picture of the double rainbow :) actually, the picture isn't the double... but it's still pretty:)
ACTUALLY, it's not letting me send it,. sorry:/ 

I love you!! I can't wait to tell you where i'm going in a week!!! I had a dream last night that i got my visa.... It was so real. Dah.

Tell me how all of you are doing!:)
Love, Sister Holden
