First request of this email, feel free to send me some witty ideas for email subject lines, because I'm starting to run out!
Also, whosoever desires to email me in Spanish, please feel free. I would love that!
Anyways, onto my week!
The truth is that it hasn't been very eventful. The most difficult part of my mission now (besides the language) is getting investigators to attend church on Sunday. The church building here is literally walking distance from all but two of our investigators, and they always commit to attend on Sunday mornings, but when push comes to shove, they don't come. Pretty frustrating for a missionary.
Well, the language is improving. This week has proved to be my most spiritual week in the mission so far, despite the lack of success. As Ive had the Spirit as a constant companion, Ive witnessed my aptitude for Spanish increase. Ive been able to communicate better, and understand people better! But its still difficult, and more humbling than ever.
I have a wealth of spiritual experiences to choose from for this week, and its very difficult, so instead I think I'm going to share a quick scripture, D+C 82:10. It basically says I the Lord am bound when you do what I say; but when you do not what I say, you have no promise. As Ive worked hard to stay obedient and maintain the Spirit, the promised blessings of learning Spanish have really occurred.
Well, that's all for this week. I don't have much more time to write, because I have to hurry over to a district meeting. I love you all so much. I cant begin to describe just how much I miss you all, how often I pray, and how much I care.
With love,
Elder William Jacob Long
