Aaron Is Crazy
გამარჯობა!
This has been a week and a half. It's strange that I
have so much to say, yet I feel like I can't say any of it. There's been
a lot of learning this week. It wasn't a
language week or a gospel week, but certainly a mix of both. I made quite
a bit of language progress through Wednesday to Monday, and I got some amazing
gospel study done from Saturday to today. For language, I was able to
summarize each point of the first Preach My Gospel lesson in Georgian in at
least one sentence. My favorite was
probably: Joseph Smith translated the Book of Mormon through the gift and power
of God. The only word I didn't know was past conjugation of
translate. I love this language. As for gospel study, I am now studying. 1) The Infinite Nature of Christ's
Atonement 2) Last Words of the
Prophet 3) Power of Words These are fascinating topics. I was
reading in Revelation 12, and verse 11, amazingly enough, covers some of these
topics. In our district council meeting
yesterday, I brought up several scriptures relating to these topics. I love when I can bring my studies into those
meetings because I can gain greater insights from each of the missionaries.
Last Wednesday, we met with our new mission president and
his wife again. They are so cool. They
are French, but his ancestry is from Armenia, and has friends from Georgia
. They have a love for the people of Armenia already and they are so
ready to serve the Lord.
We all got pretty sick this past week, which was not
fun. It makes learning the language harder and studying harder and
sleeping harder and eating harder and waking harder and giving our goodnight
hugs harder. All around, not a good time. A more positive first this week is our first TRC. Nobody really knows what it stands for. Maybe Teaching Resource Center, but if that's
what it is, saying "we have one TRC a week" just sounds weird.
Previously, we taught our teachers while they acted like people they met on their missions. This time we were teaching return
missionaries as themselves. It was way
different. We teach two people for
twenty minutes each. One of them was
actually Brother Muir's wife. Crazy.
We have another one scheduled for tomorrow, but I don't know who would
volunteer to come on Independence Day.
We'll see.
Anyway, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day
Saints is true. We here in District 9F know it, and we want everyone else
to. Like, KNOW it. Literally
everyone. I have learned that, much
like Nephi in the Book of Mormon, I delight in plainness and in truth. I
implore you all to study the words of God.
Find simple pure truth and delight in it. Until next time.
