Cheerleaders

Bueno,

As I was in our apartment office this week, a little black kid came up to me and we had like a 30 minute conversation about Lil Wayne. I don't even know anything about rap music. But yeah he rapped for me. My favorite quote from English class this week, "Is it called cheerleading because the boys are cheerful when the girls jump around?" -Y from Russia. He sounds like Gru.

     

We had a bomb restoration lesson with J from English class. He's 17 and recently moved from Mexico. He has come to church a few times and loves the Book of Mormon. So we taught him and his Aunt this week. It was such a good lesson! He understood it and loved it! We are going back this week to teach him! He even marks his scriptures! He's going to get baptized. This area has surprised me so much. There are so many awesome teenagers here that are really ready for the gospel. 

     

So I'm getting transferred! We were covering an area that got dissolved into ours this transfer but now it is getting its own missionaries again. So I'm going there! That's where a few of our investigators actually live so I'm excited! I am quite sad that I am leaving Hermana S though... Also I just found out that I'm training a new missionary! That will be interesting because I feel like I just got here too!

     

I learned a lot about the spirit this week. It's so important to keep it with you. Even though all missionaries will have the spirit no matter how disobedient they are, the power of the spirit can weaken in your teaching if we are not obedient with exactness. It makes a huge difference. We cannot rely on our own abilities or talents. We must rely on the spirit, and that is how we will have the full power of the spirit to be with us. My teaching has improved a lot since I have learned to rely on the Lord and the Holy Ghost. I love Christ. The Atonement is real.

Con amor, Hermana Jorgensen
