do you speak english?
yeah...

no...
... how do you speak english? hahah
So angela (her name) is 26, she was born in paraguay, her dad is
american-brazilian (didn't fully understantd) , and her mom is from uruguay and
speaks portuguese. She spoke all three perfectly. we started talking and for the
first time, i taugh the restoration in english and it was really... really...
hard. also she had some tough questions, but she was really smart and very
mature when it came to religion. she had grown up traveling and doing missionary
work with her parents so she could relate a little bit to what we do. but it was
in this moment that i was able to say- "what we have, and what the restored
church of jesus christ has is more. you have the bible? we have the book of
mormon and a living prophet." It was hard, but it was very to sit and talk with
her. i realized that i have changed a lot. that i truly have a testimony. its
weird to speak english. Portuguese is the language of my testimony so when i
teach or talk about the gospel in english, it's like a confirmation of what i
have been saying. it's neat to see how i have changed and what i can be when i
return home. missionary work can never stop. we have to be preaching and
teaching our entire lives.
THanks zac for everything that you do brother. you really are a boss bro.
