So I'll cut to the chase. I love
America! We had a good time on the 4th of July. We had an activity as a zone
and played volleyball. It was a good ol' American time. We had a good week
teaching as well. I've been stressing my teaching skills lately because I need
to learn how to teach more clearly and effectively, and I was able to feel the
Lord's hand in my life this week helping me teach, and being more bold in
teaching as well. I think it is because I've put more trust in my Savior, and
I've tried to forget myself, and my weaknesses. We've seen progress in a lot of
our investigators. We only had 2 come to church ( We had over ten committed),
but nevertheless we are seeing improvement. We had two, what I call,
"breakthrough" lessons with two families
because we were able to identify what they need, and now when we visit them
this week we can teach them more effectively. Another investigator is still doing
well, and is searching for an answer, but said she doesn't know how to
recognize it. I've tried to put myself in an investigators shoes, and
understand how we can help them receive an answer, and recognize it, and I
think sometimes it requires patience. All we can do is help them by inviting
them to do the simple things like praying, and reading, and coming to church,
and if they do those things they are promised an answer. ...
Anyway, I love being out here! I'm
amazed at how far I've come, and how much I've learned. I'm still amazed
sometimes as I walk away from a lesson and look back and realize I just taught
someone, in Spanish, the gospel. In Spanish! And they understood me!! I know
it's because I have the help of our Savior, Jesus Christ. I've also come to a
greater understanding of the Gospel which is a great blessing!
So I love you guys. That hasn't
changed! Thanks for all you do, and have done for me!
You guys rule!! Love, Elder Higgins
