I need to share with you my growth in learning the Spanish Ordinances at the Temple. I've never taken any Spanish in school. However, this is something that I really want to do. I've learned all of it in Spanish. I've had the opportunity to actually do part of it in Spanish. (I haven't had very many opportunities yet-but I will.) Both times I had the opportunities, the sisters were very appreciative of me for learning the ordinance work in their language.
I subbed yesterday on the day shift. Wednesday evening are one of the Spanish shifts. I made arrangements to stay an hour later and have a Spanish speaking sister mentor me with how to actually pronounce the words. She said she was amazed that I was so-o-o good at most of it. In reality, she only helped me with just a few words. WOW ! THANKS HEAVENLY FATHER FOR BLESSING ME WITH LEARNING THIS. The mentor actually let me practice the Veil Ordinance work out loud with her. That was great experience! I had to actually think about what she was saying-because I was practicing as the patron. The first time you say it out loud is a lot different than saying it in your head quietly all of the time.
I subbed this last Tuesday. I almost got another opportunity to use my Spanish Veil knowledge. The Coordinators forgot that I know how. They said that they would remember next time.
Another example of Heavenly Father Blessing us when we try: is my ability to play the piano. I've never had lessons. However, I continue to improve. I'm so thankful that Bishop called me to play the piano in Relief Society some years back. It was difficult, but because of that opportunity, I can set down and play most of the Primary songs, and a lot more of the regular hymns -without playing the simplified version.
(However, I still prefer to play the Primary songs and the simplified hymnbook.)

I think there are so many blessings out there for us if we will just put our faith in God and take the path He has for us. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
I hope Heather's family is able to find some work. We can somewhat relate, Jeff graduates in May and we still don't have a job lined up either.
