Hey everyone, this week we saw some miracles, did some service, and ate way more food than we should have.
The other night we were asked if we could go and be in the building when the relief society were doing their activity because they always want to have priesthood holders in the building for safety reasons. As we were sitting in the foyer messaging people we want to teach over Facebook, the relief society president came in asking if either of us spoke Spanish. Well, my trainee was learning French in preparation for France and I had a solid 1 semester of high-school Spanish under my belt so we said "no". She told us one of the relief society sisters had brought her husband along who only speaks Spanish and he was just sitting in a corner waiting for his wife. Never one to shy away from a challenge, Elder Murphy and I decided to give it a shot and one hour later and we had made a new friend named Santiago!
Even though he only spoke about ten words total in English, and we only spoke maybe a dozen ones in Spanish, we learned all about his Jobe as a teacher and then a lawyer, his life in the Dominican Republic, and also his past times coming to church! It isn't generally how people say they experienced the gift of tongues but I know it was important we talked to him that day. We are also going back to teach him (this time with a member to translate)!
Sincerely,
Elder Killian
