This week has been quite interesting, it consisted with a lot of ups and downs, some difficulties and some victories. I will try to explain in a few minutes the personal revelation im learnin about.
Every day is a battle here, because of the language barrier, it is getting easier, just the other day I was at church and i understood basically all of what the speaker was talking about, then in Sunday school i understood a lot. As the day went on though my brain fried out and the it was just noises of what people were saying. My mind is like a muscle right now, and its an endurance race, each day I can stand just a few minutes of understanding people speak.
But this week was special, because I finally realized what I need to do to deal with the stress of learning another language. My problem is patience. I often want to learn the language now, i was putting a time limit on when i wanted to be fluent, but in reality I'll never be fluent, I'll always be learning. The most important part of patience though is not stressing, when you don't stress about things it shows that you put your trust in god, stressing and worrying is a lack of faith and this week I realized that. I hope that this prinicple ive learned can help you as well,
I do recommend reading a talk;discourse that has helped me the stress and trust in the Lord.
Please listen i highly recommend it, its called " endure it well" by elder Neil A. Maxwelll. i hope you enjoy it.
Sincerely,
Elder Kochenderfer
