Hey Everybody!
SOO I layed in bed too long and now I have a really limited amount of time to write this post!! Sorry, I know they're amazing, but it'll be short today. That was 100% a joke! but I do have to go fast that part was true! This week was really really good! The speaker at our devotional on Sunday was Elder Holland's son and he gave an incredible talk about Joseph Smith! Elder Holland was there too, and he got to introduce his son which was so awesome to see him as a supporting parent, and not just an apostle!! Brother Holland's talk was incredible, and he definitely is a spiritual man and an incredible speaker! Our devotional on Tuesday was also awesome! The speaker was Elder Perkins of the 70 and he gave a great talk on what missionaries need to look at to improve! And we all noticed that we could improve in every single area! Fortunately for us we have the Lord on our side and through Him we can progress spiritually! Without Him we would get absolutely no where and I have a firm testimony of that!! So if you wanna get better pray and ask for help, because that's how it is going to happen! I have already notice a great change within myself! And boy have these 3 weeks flown by! and yet if feels like we've been here forever, but I love it here and I am so grateful to have this opportunity!!
So I guess I'll just break up my days and talk about that! So we spend many ours a day in the class room on personal study (usually scripture reading or Preach My Gospel), Language study, companionship study (mostly we plan our lessons). hahah The language is coming along, slowly but surely! hahah um I can speak very little right now, but I do translate movie quotes to help me understand and figure out the grammar principles and structures that we have been learning. My favorite thing to say its Ka gjarpër në çizme time! which roughly translates to There's a snake in my boot! I know I'm pretty awesome at Shqip (Albanian) hahah just kidding!!
Ok I'm really running low on time now!!! Um I spend gym time trying to play basketball, which normally doesn't go well, but I have improved a bunch!! I do have a tendency to hit the rim over and over and over, instead of make baskets but oh well, I'll get there! hahah and because I'm getting fat, I've even started getting up at 6 to go running, although I've only done that twice so far! hahah hopefully I'll get better at that!!!
Ok that's it, sorry folks, I've run out of time, that's on me! hahah My bad, next weeks post I'll write first so that I can have loads of time!!!! Just remember that God loves you, Jesus Christ loves you, and I love you. Heavenly Father Answers our prayers and I testify of that because he answers mine!!
Have an amazing week!
Love,
Elder Simons
