October 20, 2008

That's good about your missionary experience. Keep it up. This week I went on exchange with an English elder, Elder Webster. I taught him the words for coffee, tea, alcohol, drugs, tobacco in Spanish and he helped to teach the lesson. He also read a scripture in Spanish. We practiced all morning and during lunch, and we taught two investigators the Word of Wisdom.

Gabriel, who says he's been drinking coffee every day for ten years and he knows he's going to have a big head ache this week because he's quitting. Another investigator Mario is going to stop smoking. We had testimony meeting because it had been delayed, and he really felt the spirit.

I'm giving a training tomorrow on charity, so I'll be working on that.

Today I learned how to do a really cool spinning basketball trick. How to make a shot right under the net, by bouncing and spinning it. I used to think it didn't matter if I was good at basketball. I figure since every other missionary is good at it, I might as well be too.

Have a good week.

The Elder James Meiners
