STOP TALKING AND START DOING
So me and my companion learned something really cool. - ¨Talking is not
teaching¨ i believe its a quote from Elder Bednar but elder uceda is the
one who repeated it to us. You can take this quote in many different
ways. but what me and my companion have decided to do is stop talking
so much and just start doing things with those that we teach. Instead
of talking a bunch about our great message and then asking them to pray
latter about it, we kneel down and pray with them. We let them express
to the Lord their concerns and then we kneel in silence with them and
they feel what the Lord desires. Instead of explaining all about the
book of mormon to people, we just sit down and read with them in the
book of mormon. we disect it together. Its so cool because we are
learning too the whole time. My companion and i are coming to
understand what it means to be edified with those we teach and not just
try to bring them to where we are as it talks in D and C 50. Its always
interesting to talk about what they feel after they pray. Some dont
feel much. Others feel peace. And some have real testimony building
experiences. Teaching is so much better than talking! Cuidense todos
