How are you all doing? I'm doing great, I love being here. Today I get to go out and tract with some of the missionaries from the Joburg mission. I'm excited but I'm a little nervous because I will be teaching in a real situation for the first time. But I know if I just teach with the Spirit then I won't have any problems. We do a lot of practice lessons with the elders and with our teachers. Yesterday we did some practice lessons with some members from the area. It is so much more difficult than I expected. Trying to find what the investigators need is the hardest part, once you do that then it is easier to teach the lessons.
We spend a lot of time in classes, but our teachers keep us busy so its not like it is real difficult to stay focused. It is amazing to learn about how many different things are involved with teaching lessons. You aren't supposed to jump around but then you are also supposed to teach what the people need. It is hard to balance but the mediator is always the spirit. We also have to be in unity with our companion so that we never have one sided lessons. Meaning that we have to teach back and forth and not take too much time speaking at once. There is a lot to take in but I love the constant companionship of the Spirit here.
Dad it will all work out in Milford, my prayers are with you. Did you feed Copper today? Oh and Dasher says hi.
Love you guys.
Love,
Elder Cecil
