Philosophy Class!

It has been a brilliant week!! So teaching the Philosophy class... I was so nervous going in there, they had about 15 students, and about 7 or 8 teachers that heard the Mormon's were coming so they wanted to come in. It was probably one of the coolest experiences I've had on my mission. We taught the Restoration, then answered a bunch of questions. Then the investigator asked us to teach the Plan of Salvation, because he loves it. So we did that as well.  We ended up being there for about 2 hours, I never thought I would ever have to stand in front of a philosophy class and teachers for 2 hours and talk about the Gospel. The spirit was amazing, I felt like I wasn't even the one speaking, it was all the spirit, you could definitely feel it in the room, so cool. After the class, we had a line of students and teachers wanting a Book of Mormon. The teacher of the philosophy class and the "head teacher" or principle told us that they have had a lot of religious people come and talk to classes, but that what we shared was the best by far. It was a really good experience. We hope to hear from some of the kids this week and the teacher and principle want to come to church sometime because they live near bye. My companion and I have been working on contacting. I'm am working on not talking so much and my companion talking more, its funny because a lot of times he can't think of how to say things in English so he'll look at me.. usually I would continue, but now when he looks at me I just look back. He is doing so good though, he is progressing so much. We had Zone Conference this week! That was way cool, I got to see Elder Oleson which was way fun. We had 3 people at church this week, one of our Less Active members has an 8 year old daughter, we have started teaching her, and she came to church this week and wanted to say the prayer in sacrament meeting, she ended up saying it in Primary. We are playing footy again this week, I'm really excited for it! Last week it was epic! Hope everyone has a wicked week!
