The Lord Will Provide The Way

so... about this week... i dont have much time... but here it is...

we taught our first lesson in portugues at the trc this week... the whole 45 min in portugues!!! uh crazy! i am horrible... luckily my comp is amazing at it... so she did most of the talking! love her. it was way cool though because i was able to feel the spirit in the lesson in a diff. lang!! awesome!

this week for one of my personal studies i read about enos... uh, he is awesome! not because he prayed forever, but because you can learn how to pray and he is such a great example of sincere prayers! i have definately learned to rely on sincere prayers this week!!! i have had a way hard week with the language and how hard it is. i get really discouraged because of the language, but then when im starting to hit bottom, the Lord definately steps in and picks me right back up to an even higher start than before (if that makes any sense).

also, at a meeting someone prayed in spanish and i understood all of it!!! its awesome how similar they are! I cant wait to be able to understand tyler, devon, jarred and gary when i get back... too bad it will be hard for them to understand me... supposedly portugues is harder for them to understand... especially portugal port., but the argentina elders told me that buenos aires would be able to understand me more because they supposedly sh their s's more like I do.

My testimony is growing so much here and i love it! I am continuing to LOVE the scriptures... i now understand why Gary would get so giddy when we would go to institute or we would find something new in the scriptures... they are so amazing and such a help to our lives if we use them. the difficulty of the language has turned me to the Lord more than I have ever turned before and I am so grateful for that experience however hard it is during. i know that it will turn out okay, its just hard while youre in the middle... i know that the lord will provide a way just as it says in nephi 3:7 and also john 14:26-27 "... bring all things to remembrance and not let your heart be troubled neither let it be afraid." I know that if i do all that i can now to prepare, when i need His help He will be there guiding and directing me.

also, thanks for the answers on the questions last week! those were really helpful!!!

um... im sure that I am missing something... but I am running out of time... :/ sad day... thanks so much for the prayers and letters (im trying to get caught up on responding :) )
