We have done more tracting this week than the last 5 combined. :) dont worrry i like it. We also try to oym (talk to random strangers, give them a card, ect.)
I am getting to speak a lot more spanish here in knoxville lately. its good. We have a class now for sunday school in spanish. Its excellent that people are willing to sacrifice so much. the newest returning member has to drive 45 minutes to church. Its hard for some to drive to the temple 5 minutes away once a month. real uplift to see the sacrifices of others.
We are continuing to teach Kayla, the wife a member. She is real sweet. Enjoyed the lesson on the temple. it was a great help for both of them.
for you to learn more watch http://www.lds.org/media-library/video/2013-02-1070-temples?category=missionary/introduction-to-mormons
Currently we are focusing the missionary work on teaching. centering it on listening. Its real important in any situation of life to show real concern for others. You will know how to respond not by thinking of what to say next but rather by
The Cupp family in the Chilhowee ward is excellent. They feed us almost every week and its always the best food. and they have tons of it. She is real modest about it also. My favorite family as of today.
Commercial break. Simply apple juice is pretty good. its a darker colored aj. maybe more pure? kindof expensive but you can get a $1 off at coupons.com (also many more good coupons)
Congrats to Elder Daniel Leonard McCombie getting his call to the Baltic Mission (its by Ukraine)
Someone suggested that i read - The Virtue of Kindness by JOSEPH B. WIRTHLIN
http://www.lds.org/general-conference/2005/04/the-virtue-of-kindness?lang=eng
i have not yet but will still pass on the info.
Also a missionary suggested i listen to/read "What i wish i knew when i was single" by john Bytheway text at http://deseretbook.com/misc/pdf_books/bytheway_single.pdf for your enjoyment. to long for me to read right now. and not really an important subject today. but you might like it. he gives good talks. actually came one for a fireside in the stake.
