Tere, tere!
This week has been soooooooooooooooooooooo
much better! I've felt like I've been walking on clouds!The language is
still tough.. yesterday we had a teach and we walked in and I had a
paper with a few notes on just in case, my scriptures and everything
else you need when you teach.. when I came into the room I realised I
had forgotten my notes but strangely enough I managed to say what I felt
I needed to say even though it was far from conjugated correctly and it
was very much in a caveman language! :) "I know..when I pray.. God
answer... I know.. YOU pray.. God answer!" anyways.. the spirit has been
very strong and everyday I feel like I get the opportunity to become a
better version of Ode Peterson! I still have a lot to learn, but I'm
getting there, if yet slowly!
Last sunday we had really good meetings and during the
sacramentmeeting a few people shared their testimonies about eternal
families and I could really feel how greatful I am that I have the
knowledge that I can be together with my family forever! ..as we sang
the clsoing hymn "Closer My God to Thee" (which was sung at my
grandparents funeral) I could really feel their love for me! It was an
overwhelmiong feeling as if they where sitting on each side of me and
whispered in my ears that they loved me and they were proud of my choice
to go on a mission! I couldn't continue singing, I was too emotional,
but that was an answer to my prayers! I had been a little sad that they I
can't talk to them and share my experiences with them, but they showed
me that they are right here beside me and they're following my journey
and are supporting me from the other side!
..Yesterday we had an apostle come and talk to us at
the Tuesday devotionals.. it was Elder D Todd Christofferson and also
his wife. She talked about the importance of loving the people we are
going to serve. That it is important to "look at them as if they were
our families" ..Elder Christofferson said that the 15 (first presidency
and the 12 apostles) can't do the work on their own, so they look to the
eight quorums of the seventy, but even that is not enough! "Will you
join us?" ..It was really special to have one of the Lord's apostles
speak to us!!
Today is ETTEVALMISTUSPÄEV!! (preparationday) ... SO
nice! .. I'll enjoy the sun, do some laundry and just relax a little bit
and have a good time with my companions!
Ma tean et Jumal elab, jah tema elab meid!!
Have a great week and MA ARMASTAN TEIE!!!!
