Ronald Weasley?

What a week!!! Well... Not a lot actually happened this week, but at the same time a lot of stuff happened... It doesn't really make sense, but if you think about it like really hard for a couple of days then it'll make sense. But Elder Ashcraft and I had the opportunity to teach Ronald this week for TRC!!! I mean it wasn't Ronald Wesley, but it was this guy named Ronald Brito who is like at least 10 times cooler then Ronald Wesley. Anyways we were teaching him The Plan of Salvation for our third lesson because our second lesson was actually surprisingly good!! haha. But this one did not go as planned. We got stuck trying to explain to him what the plan exactly was and when we had finished explaining it we had 10 minutes left so we had to either hurry or cut out some of our lesson, so we decided to cut out some stuff from our lesson, but by doing so we got the Giggles!!!! For those of you that don't know what giggles are, they're these terrible, tiny, little bugs that tickle your stomach and make you laugh.. how they get in your stomach??... I have no idea, but they're terrible! We started laughing and I couldn't stop! I knew that if I kept laughing then the spirit would be taken from the room and the whole lesson would be ruined!! Haha. So I said a quick prayer in my mind asking for the spirit and right when I said amen the giggles went away, and we were able to teach the rest of the lesson.

After the lesson Ronald thanked us and complimented Elder Ashcrafts Spanish and his native tongue, and I'm sure he felt obligated to compliment me on something because he turned to me and said, and you're... learning. So I laughed, but he was nice and assured me that my spanish was coming a long and that I was learning fast. Which definitely helped, because my teachers tell me that Spanish people are really nice and love hearing from missionaries that don't speak the language very well, probably because it's really funny to listen to somebody butcher a language haha, but they also said that they appreciate it when people try, but I'm pretty sure they just think it's funny.

This last devotional we were privileged to hear from Elder Walker, a member of the 70's who served his mission in Japan. He told us how we can become better missionaries and shared a lot of scriptures that I know will help all people come to the Lord. I am so grateful for all of you and the great examples you are to me, and to all others that meet or even see you. I know this church is true, I love it with all of my heart. I am so grateful for the sacrifice that God and Christ made for us, I am so grateful for the opportunity we have to repent of our sins every day, and the opportunity we have to partake of the sacrament every week. I can't wait for the Spirit to testify this to the people of Fort Worth Texas, and I also hope that the Spirit has testified this to all of you and if it hasn't don't worry, if you study have faith and try hard it will come in the Lords time. I love you all so so much and I know God loves you. I hope you all have a great week full of service and fun! I can't wait to hear from all of you and I will try my best to respond. Peace out for now, stay cool.

Love,

Elder Francis
