Hello! This week has been good for my language skills...my twe (an african language spoken Ghana) has been very useful in getting us into peoples homes! I learnt a little in Reggio and have been putting it to good use! Just speaking a little of it puts the Ghanans at ease and forms a friendship and bond that they appreciate, and opens them up. It makes me realise what the real bringer of the spirit is: love. As they realise that you care enough about them to want to learn their language and take the time to appreciate their culture they feel the love, and then they feel the spirit. Some of the Missionaries often think that you have to speak the language perfectly to be a good Missionary, but you don't. I've found that even when you don't speak more than a couple of words in a language that they understand (our Chinese investigator for example, Yuang shen), they still feel the Spirit and somehow get taught. The Missionaries don't really do anything, it's always the Spirit, and we're just there to help them let the Spirit in. With Yuang, for example, he doesn't speak much English, and even less Italian. So I've been learning Chinese, and I probably don't make much sense to him when I speak it, but he has the biggest grin on his face when I do, and the Spirit instantly comes! Remember when working with your friends trying to bring them the Gospel light, it's not the words you say, but the love in which you say it that really matters! I love you all! Anziano Nelson.
