Today was
good, Angie came with us on our lessons (which most of them fell through) so
that was pretty neat. She just got back from her mission in Brazil and still
speaks mostly Portuguese, but it's similar enough to Spanish that I could still
understand her, Portuguese is to Spanish what my first few weeks here of Spanish
is to English...weird comparison, but basically listening to her talk was like
listening to Honduran Spanish for the first time again since it sounded
different than what I was accustomed to hearing. Weird. Made me think of Julie,
can't wait to meet up with her again. She's
coming home pretty soon, too, right?
And some
quotes from our Relief Society lesson this Sunday that I failed to mention:
"No
hay precio demasiado alto...Ninguna lucha demasiada severa, ni sacrificio
grande, si como con secuencia de todo ello,
recibimos y disfrutamos el don del Espíritu Santo " - Elder Bruce R McConkie
"El
Espíritu Santo permanecerá con nosotros conforme honremos, respetemos y obedezcamos
los leyes de Dios."
"Si
somos humildes y sensibles, el Senor nos inspirara mediante nuestros
sentimientos."
And in
English! (I know there´s some errors in translation....sometimes the ideas make
more sense in spanish):
"There
is no price too high, ...no fight too hard, no sacrifice too great, if because
of all of this, we receive and enjoy the gift of the Holy Spirit" - Elder
Bruce R. McConkie
"The
Holy Spirit will be with us according to our honoring, respecting and obeying
the laws of God."
"If
we are humble and sensitive, the Lord will inspire us through our
feelings."
So that
was a pretty neat Relief Society lesson, I seem to enjoy the ones here a lot,
perhaps because Hna Diosa teaches fairly often, and she's awesome. Very
animated lady that says a lot of good things, wish you guys could meet her.
