Week 2

This week was been a lot better than the last week we are actually learning how to speak the language and have taught our investigator 5 times now. With each lesson we have gotten better and better at the language. After that we learned that she was actually our teacher, but I already knew that she was. This week has flown by. Overall I am learning the language pretty well. The gift of tongues is real. I can already read Armenian for the most part but I just have to make sure that I am sounding everything out. I kind of sound like I am in kindergarten. I know that as I continue to work at it I will learn more and more. This week I also learned why the country of Armenia is called Armenia. When the country was founded there was a guy names Armen who was the king so they named it after him. Other than that it was a pretty normal week I am getting better at Armenian each and every day. I have 2 new "investigators" next week so I will be preparing for that this weekend.

 In our Zone we have all of the Germans who  over the past 10 days I have gotten really close to. In the zone is the first missionary that is from turkey. His name is Elder Gulu. He is going to Berlin where he will speak Turkish because there are a lot of Turkish people there, but they thought he should known German too. I love him so much. Yesterday all of the Germans got there travel plans so its getting real that they are all leaving and its going to be sad when they leave. 

This week my teacher spoke English for the first time.(I have three teachers) As he went from teaching Armenian to bearing his testimony in English the spirit was so strong in the room and you knew what he was saying was truth.

As I go through each day I know that I am getting close to the Lord and I feel his love for me. The church is true and through the Spirit and the Lord you can do anything. 





the one in the blue suit is elder Gulu and the one in the other picture is elder moody. Oh and the one I took during devotional is Elder Knight. All of those guys are amazing and I know I need a haircut I am getting one next week because my p-day is today and the barber shop is closed today because of conference
