Sister and Pres Beck on the day that I started training Elder Tharp

Time is way, way too busy and too fast. Well, to make it short I am now training. My trainee’s name is Elder Tharp and he is from St. George, Utah. He is the youngest of eight children. He is a good elder. Being with him reminds me a lot of my first few days in the Philippines. He is so excited and energetic about the work. The greatest is that he isn’t afraid of messing up and so he is always willing to talk to people. I have a lot to learn about attitude from him. I really hope that we will become firm friends. He is still a little lost now and so his real character hasn’t really started showing. We had a good experience yesterday when we showed Jhun the Restoration DVD. Elder Tharp bore testimony first and even though his Tagalog was really broken the spirit was strong. Everyone knows the language of the spirit.
