Hola todos personas!!
So before I get into it I must say
that I will not be able to email home next week! I will be able to the
week after, however this upcoming Tuesday I will be going out to the field to
start actually teaching!! That´s such a crazy thought!! I will be
teaching people the gospel in one week!!!
Actually I have already started!!
This week my companions (because I am now a part of a trio of
missionaries) and I went out to teach people twice!! It was so cool!!
But the people all speak Spanish sooooo fast!!! The first time we
went out it was just street contacting, so like 5-6 minutes of talking to
people and getting contact information. That sort of thing! It went
really well!! The last person we talked to was really excited to meet us
and she took a Book of Mormon and we talked about it for a while!! The
people here are all receptive to the gospel and it´s so amazing!!
The second day we went out we went
on splits with missionaries who had been in the field for a while! It was
really cool, however I understood almost no Spanish that day... But I
shared my testimony about every 5 minutes and I was really glad I had that opportunity!!
The biggest regret I´ve had while
being out here is not sharing my testimony with enough people. While we
were on the Subway the other day I was just standing there and I could have
talked with so many people, but I shied away and now I feel really bad about
that. I know now to talk to as many people as I possibly can!!
So earlier my companion (Elder
Despain) and my district leader (Elder Robbins) both taught an investigator who
just came to the CCM and said "I´ve got problems in my life that I need to
fix. I don´t know why. I know I
need to join your church and I´ll do whatever possible." I can´t
tell all the details, but they said it was one of the biggest moments of their
life! My companion has told me how much more his testimony has grown
because of this experience!
I love you all and hope you are all
doing well!! You´re all in my prayers!
Con Amor (with love),
Elder Forsgren
