I can´t really remember almost any of my french, except for the typical e,es,e,ons,ez,ent that they drill into you in middle school, or random phrases like "Je brosse me dents." "Je parle un pue de francais" And then my English feels like it is just awful. So I apologize to everyone I have written this week, it's probably only going to get worse from here! jaja
I can usually understand conversations a lot more often, and I knew what was going on basically the entire time at church this week. I can understand the talks pretty well, and know more about the lessons. I've had a few people tell me that I am learning pretty quickly, and that my accent isn't too awful!
We had a really cool moment this week. We had an investigator bring out a little yellow book that is meant to help people understand the bible. She was explaining how it has really helped her. So I talked a bit about how the bible is kind of confusing, which is why there is so many different religions, and so many different books to help us interpret it. But so with so many different interpretations, we need someone to have the proper means to do so. God is well aware of this, and doesn't want us all to live in confusion. That is why he brought forth the Book of Mormon, to help us to clarify what His will is. But the cool thing about this book, is how we came to have it, and that we can pray to know if its true.

It was kind of an eye opening moment for me, because I knew that the Book of Mormon was meant to help us clarify and understand the doctrine taught in the bible, But I hadn't really realized how very much we needed a book of proper authority. And afterwards my companion told me I was speaking very good Spanish. All in all a very enlightening and cool experience!
Heavenly Father really has given us so many things to help us to learn and to grow, all so that we can return to live with Him again. And so that we can truly find happiness and peace in this life.
...Even when we are walking in the streets at 52 degrees Celsius. It wasn't as bad as I imagined it would be. My companion and I kept joking that the best way to help a Canadian adjust to the climate of Hermosillo is baptism by fire. I feel like I will find 15 Celsius cold now when it finally comes around!
