Christmas came early!!! Today I bought a pair of 25-pound dumbbells and a pair of 40-pound dumbbells, so it’s basically Christmas out here. Overall though, it’s been a pretty good week! My Spanish has improved immensely. I can actually understand most people, so that’s been a huge blessing. Some people still speak a different language ha but I can communicate with them when they start speaking Spanish ha.
So I made it through all six weeks in the CCM without giving a talk, and I made it through my first Sunday here without giving one. However, this Sunday I finally got the opportunity. Well kind of, last Sunday the bishop asked my companion and I to prepare talks for this Sunday. However, I’m not sure if he forgot or it was just because we were short on time yesterday but anyways we didn’t end up giving talks yesterday ha. So my streak is still going strong until next week... I was actually feeling pretty good about the talk that I wrote for yesterday. So I was kind of excited to give it, but I can always just translate it and use it for my Homecoming talk!
This week a figured out how to teach the Restoration with a Rubik’s cube so that’s been really good for our lessons. I had heard of elders using Rubik’s cubes for lessons, but I had never heard how they used them... However, this week when we were teaching the Restoration it clicked. So now when we teach about the Restoration, when we talk about the Savior’s earth ministry. We emphasize four main things the Savior’s church had, prophets, apostles, priesthood, and revelations with the four sides of the Rubik’s cube. Then we talked about the great apostasy as I mix the Rubik’s cube up. After that as we talk about the first vison and the Restoration of the gospel that Jesus Christ taught, I solve the Rubik’s cube. This shows that through Joseph Smith the four principles were restored, and now we have prophets, apostles, priesthood, and revelation, once again on the earth today. We have taught the restoration a couple of times this way this week, and it has worked great. The restoration is definitely one of my favorite lessons because the spirit never fails to fill the room.
Much love,
Elder Ceb
