So this week was a pretty normal week. We taught a lot but we had a LOT of walking to do. The closest town is 30 min away so you can imagine just how much walking we do because we pass that little town almost every day. Haha.
We are still planning a baptism for the 2nd of October but she needs to get back in town. We will just have to pray and have patience.
So I want to touch really quickly on the title of this blog. "The Right to Teach" is something that came to my mind one day while we were walking an hour and a half out to an appointment. In D&C, it says to first seek the word before you preach it. So then if you don´t study the scriptures, you really shouldn´t teach from them because you don´t have the knowledge nor the Spirit to recall the doctrines to your mind.
Also, a teacher learns as they prepare to teach because they have the purpose of helping others understand something. Someone that simply starts teaching without the desire to learn as well cannot have the spirit of revelation and therefore cannot truly teach. They will use the imperfect tone and words of humans and not feel love nor inspiration of the Spirit.
We talk to many people each week that only want to tell us about their experiences long past, but I say, where are your experiences from yesterday? What did you learn this morning? Here is what I read at 8-9 this morning and here is what my comp and I discussed from 9 till 10. That is what God has for us TODAY. Do you know what your Father has planned for you to learn today? No? Why? Because you didn’t put forth your effort and you aren’t willing to put forth the effort now to know that WE are what the Lord has planned for you to grow and to be closer to Him TODAY. Study each day and you will have the Right to Teach. Those who are not willing to Learn, don´t have the Right to Teach.
I love you all! Sorry if my thoughts are a little scattered in that. It was a good day of archeological finds. Pics next week!!!
