By the Spirit

How is everything going?? HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Me and Elder Canova are going to the Napoleone's house for Thanksgiving, Bro.Napoleone is the BEST. He's from Samoa. His family is big, they have like 7 kids and a ton of other people (cousins) living with them. All the youth in the ward really like hanging out over there cuz their house is so fun.. bro napoleone is such a happy nice person..

Anyways I'm really excited for this week. This last week has been SOO GOOD. We had a district meeting and we were learning how to teach better. During the lesson I was giving something just clicked. I had finally realized something about teaching and how I can teach better, it has alot to do with the way we ask questions, (it takes a while to figure out so i won't try to explain it) but it was really cool to see how i can better invite the spirit.. it's really interesting to see how people answer their own questions through the Spirit.

anyways so after this training i was like "SWEET I'M GONNA TRY THIS' we had a lesson later that day with a lady named Annie so i thought i would try my newly learned method.. it was kinda rocky.. haha but the spirit was there to make up for it. as the week went on i was able to ask better questions and really perfect asking better questions.
so we had contacted a guy named Elon later in the week, he told us to come back the next day, so we returned, when we started talking to him he stopped us mid-sentence and said "are you guys mormons?" and of course we said yes.. after that he said "I'll be right back" he kinda looked mad, and i was really scared but i knew i was there for one reason.. to testify of the gospel.. he came back and stepped out on the porch and closed the door and said "ok what were you saying?" he looked ready to counteract anything i was about to say but i just open my mouth and i started to testify of prophets.. the spirit was so strong, i was able to ask him questions that really got him thinking and we told him why we believe in Joseph Smith and why this was the restored gospel, my trainer was just standing there looking at me like "DAAANG" and after we left the doorstep i was like "DAAANG" haha.. i didn't really know what i said, but i knew i had prepared myself and the Lord had placed me there, i opened my mouth and I testified.

anyways it was really cool... my testimony is growing alot. my comp. is going home in three weeks.. :( we'll see what happens, i know i'm going to stay in hayward for another transfer AT LEAST.. i'll prob be here for 6 months tho.

I LOVE AND MISS EVERYONE A TON!! happy thanksgiving
