Hello world! So three weeks have gone by incredibly fast here. The days have been filled with intense study, prayer, and learning. We were informed of the passing away of President Monson a few days ago. I know that he was a true prophet of God.
My companion and I Elder Foutz, have been working hard everyday here. We have set our goals for what we want to accomplish here at the CCM. I'm so grateful that he is my companion because he knows how to work hard.
We watched a talk on Elder Holland, He spoke of "The Divine Companionship" I have to keep this short but what he basically said was that the Spirit is a must when teaching, and that it is impossible to truly teach someone without it. The spirit testifies of our messages truthfulness.
I want to tell you about an experience i had while proselyting about a week ago....We went to an investigators house named Veronica and since me and my companion are just being trained we went with an Elder named Elder Johnson. When we made it inside we had planned to teach her the WoW (Word of Wisdom). She was an amazing lady! You could tell she had a complete desire to learn and want to know more about our church. We got to the point in the lesson where we committed her to stop drinking coffee since that was here favorite drink. I was able to share my testimony with her... I'm telling you right now I had no idea what i was going to say to her. I was super nervous because I didn't know a lot of words let alone how to say much! But...I felt the words come to my mouth! They really truly did! I was able to get in words that she understood. My testimony went a little like this..."I know that the Word of Wisdom will bless your life. I know that if you drink coffee less and less each day that you will be blessed, because in my life I've felt the strength from following that commandment (and I listed a few examples). I ended with that and I knew that was the spirit that led and guided me I know it!!
Love you all and hope everything is going well for all you. I pray for you all everyday!
Love, Elder Horton
