Dear everybody I know,
Hows it going? Good? Good. My week was pretty good. I got to go on exchanges with my district leader which was a ton of fun. It feels like I´ve known him forever. Probably because I´ve known him since the first of my mission. I´ve been following him around. We had a pretty funny appointment. I took him to the appointment with Domingo, our deaf investigator that tries to talk but doesn´t realize his volume is a little higher than it should be. So they asked my district leader elder Malit to say the prayer and I translated it for him. Then we had a lessson on scripture study and praying. It went pretty well. I did as much as I could do with the signs I know. When we walked out Elder Malit told me that was the weirdest appointment he had been in on his whole mission. And he is going home in 3 weeks. I just started cracking up laughing. You really have to be there to appreciate the humor of an appointment with a deaf man. Maybe I´ll film the next one haha. Elder Malit also helped me a ton with my teaching. He taught me how to use persoal experiences and analogies to help the people understand better. It has helped me so much. I wasn´t a very creative teacher before. Tomorrow I´ve been assigned to teach the district how to speak spanish. I am going to need a lot of help because I have no idea how to do it. Ha it just comes out! I guess I´ll just tell them to say their prayers. Not a whole lot happened this last week though. It was another week full of hard times and good times and the learning that comes with it. We still don´t have anybody thats close to baptism here but we will have one soon. Our branch has the faith that it will happen and they trust us. I have learned a lot this week about recognizing strengths. God has blessed us so much with different gifts and talents and we need to use them to the best of our ability. We had a district meeting about recognizing their strengths and it reminded me of my mom telling me to write down 5 things that i was good at. I hated it! And i still do. My district leader had to say one for me but then I realized we NEED to recognize them and use them. I wish I would have realized that when my mom tried to teach me. Welp thats all I have for the week. Lets hope something exciting happens this week. I love you all and thanks for everything. Have a good one.
Love, Elder Langston
