Semana 54 - Mariano Moreno

¡Hola Todos!
Wow, what a week! I spent about a total of 24 hours spread across 3 days in training meetings from our mission president this week! And now I've gotta teach what I learned in those meetings to those in my district for the next few weeks in our weekly meeting! It's kinda changing the way that we go about teaching the doctrine to our investigators because we're quickly losing the sense of when the investigators have no idea what we're talking about. So what we do now is we ask a TON of questions during the lesson in order to find their comprehension as well as their doubts. I spent a few days experimenting on the idea, as well as a ton of other things we learned in the training, and I've seen amazing results and success! So I've learned that if you want to be a good teacher, you at least have to follow these two rules: teach people, not lessons, and always be asking good questions.
I finally found a scale the other day: I've gained 10 pounds, yay! :D
We also had a beautiful trip today for p-day. We visited these places called Purmamarca, Tilcara, and Humahuaca (check out the photos!). It took about the whole day, but it was definitely fun!
Not too much else this week (basically because the training took up so much time), just general success throughout the week (and the normal not-so-much-success, but the successful parts definitely make up for it!)!
Love,
-Elder Powell-
