Elder Cattron VI: Listening with love

5-20-13

I feel pretty good. Sometimes I have pain in my knee from all the stairs and hills. Other than that, everything is great. This week I learned what I can do to be a better companion. I was talking to Elder G---a of the need to listen. What I need to do is ask people how they really are, learn more from their lives. I already love them, but did not know how to show it. Moroni 8:16. And in the same verse, this is true also: ...And I speak with boldness, having authority from God; and I fear not what man can do." The missionary's interest can help a lot. I learned that we have to do it always. But more importantly than listening is listening with love. I'll keep doing it and learning more about it.

[From Mom: Is it getting “COLD” there yet? ] I just might need some warm wool socks. It´s actually pretty cold here in our pension every night. Who woulda thought it?
