Eternal Beggining

This week has been a rolercoster! I was so pumped at the begginning of the week for all the people we had contacted the week before, but then a ton of our appointments fell throgh! It was pretty sad and hard. But I am trying to trust in Gods plan! 

The update on Familia Caballero is that the 3 girls are left to live with their grandparents for december, so I probably will never see them again. It was sad, but maybe it´s good, so we can focus and help all the workers there progress. 

My companions are great! We are working hard. I have truly been humbled working with them, Elder Lowder and I were very similar and worked very well together, yet Elder Dacanay and Elder Barrietos and I are all verry different, so we have all had to sacrafice and compromise. It has been a learning experience, yet I have grown so much! They have tought me so much about being happy and trusting in God, and having pacience. I love them so much! 

For thanksgiving I did nothing special, but Friday we had an activity in the Church! It was lot´s of fun. There was food typical from all parts of the world, and it was all delicous! There were also some people who danced (It represented the Honduras culture perfectly). I love the food here in Honduras so much! I love Honduras! 

This week here has been a little cooler, many Hondurans have been wearing jackets, its been about 80 degrees maybe high 70. But it´s also been raining a lot! I love it! Although I can´t go crazy like I would at home becuase I can´t get too wet when I am working all day haha

I love you all! I know that The God loves us and has restored his gospel anon the earth today! I know Thomas S. Monson is our living Prohpet today! I know that Jesus Christ is our brother, our savior, he loves us, he knows us, and he is consious of us! I read a talk by Dieter F. Uchtdorf, he said, "There is never a true ending, just an eternal beggining!" 

I love you all! Let us take advantage of our eternal beggining this Christmas Season!

Life doesn´t slow down!

Hey everyone! Life here in Honduras just keeps going! This has been another crazy week! Tuesday Elder Barrientos and I went to work the new guys from the CCM. I went with an Elder from Guatemala. It was a lot of fun and a humbling experience yet at the same time helped me realize how far I have come. Then, Wednessday there was changes, but Elder Barrientos stayed my companion, so that´s great! I thought that that was it and we would go to work. But Wednessday we got called to go help the new elders in La Ideal close to our area. We went and helped them and then got another call from the Secrataries saying that we would be dropping off Elder Dacanay, and he would be staying with us for maybe a couble days, maybe the whole change.

So right know it is me, Elder Barrientos (from guatemala) and Elder Dacanay (From Canada, but his parents are from the philipines). We live in one of the smallest houses in the mission in Villa Florencia (smith 2)! It´s been quite an adventure. But after we all got settled in we have gone to work. 

We have been working hard with familia Caballero! The mom knows that the Church is true, but is always working, so we havn´t been able to talk to her a lot. But This week we had planed to baptize the 2 girls, Helen (8) and Nohelia (11). So we continued to teach them this week, but the house is full of great future investigadors. Because they own a taco buisness, so they have a lot of workers who are in the house while we have been teaching the girls, and for the first time we were able to teach formally all the workers, they are all verry interested! It has been so great! And Nohelia is so excited and loves to share what she has learned so this helps! But then on saturday for the baptism the Dad wouldn´t keep permision for Helen, so we were only able to baptize Nohelia. 

But I am so excited for the future! I feel like we can have a lot of success with all the workers in that house. There is Delci, Yadira, Ema, Favi, Hermando, Teresa! They are all so great and excited to learn more! They all committed to come to church on Sunday, but they worked saturday night until 3 in the morning, so they didn´t come, but I´m sure they will next week!

I love being a missionary! It is so much fun! I am so Happy! I know the this gospel is true! I know that the true gospel of Jesus Christ has been restored to the earth in preperation for his second coming!

I love you all!

Another Crazy Week!

Well, life continues here in Honduras! So, it turns out that my Companion Elder Lowder got a call from President Bush, and know is in the ofice. He is the General Secratary! He was super excited, and I know he will do great! He will get to drive here in Honduras... But he left this last wednessday, so I have continued with Elder Barrientos. This wednessday are changes. I am pretty sure I will stay here in smith 2, and Elder Barrientos will go back to La Ideal, and I´ll get a new companion!

But life has continued to be insane. I feel like I haven´t been working in my area varry much, I am also in La Ideal con Elder Barrientos or in divisions with Elder Chavaria or Jensen. It has been a wild work and a little overwhelñming but it´s been good! I know that everything happens for a reason!

But on a Positive note, we are going to have 2 baptisms this week! We having been working with this Family, Familia Caballero, and the parents are also working, so they can´t go to church, but there 2 doughters, Nohelia (11) and Jelen (8) have been coming and we are hoping to baptize them this week! They are super excited and love the church! I love the excitment in children! 

Other then that, not a lot has happened... I am super nervous for this next change, but also really excited! I feel like this area I am in is just about to explode with baptisms! 

I love this Gospel! I know that The Church of Jesus Christ has been restored onto the earth! I know that God speaks to us through revelation through his prohpets! I know the Book of Mormon is True! I know that The Bible and The Book of Mormon are meant to work toghether and support each other! 

I love you all!

Life Continues!

Wow this week has been crazy... So first we will start with tuesday. 

Tuesday we had divisions, which means I went to a different area with a different Elder. I went to La Ideal with Elder Flores from Peru close to chile. That was a good day, I flet really good about my spanish because I was able to talk and understand him really well the whole day. Then wednessday I worked in Smith again with Elder Lowder. Someone that we are working with is Karla. She is super great, but she has depression. She has one kid Enoch, and is living with a man, but she basically hate´s him. We are working hard with her, but she hasn´t come to chruch yet, and is struggling with trusting in God. Then, after this lesson President Bush called and said that we were going to be put into a trio with Elder Barrientos, the companion of Elder Flores, who I was on devissions with. So that night we got Elder Barrientos, and now he is with us. He is from Guatemala! He is super awesome, but really hard for me to understand. He talks super fast, and it has really humbled me, and made me realize how much work I have to do with spanish. 

So basically after Wednessday I haven´t been able to work with Elder Lowder at all, wich is really sad. It is funny, becuase I prayed to God Tuesday night telling him that I felt like I had gotten to the point where I loved Elder Lowder, and learned what I needed too, and then, its like God said great, you dont need him any more. It´s kind of sad, but God has a plan. So right now Elder Lowder and I are working in three areas, Smith 1, (The area of Elder Jensen and Elder Chavaria, but Elder Jensen still cant work for 12 more days) smith 2, our area, and La Ideal 2, the area of Elder Barrientos! So it has been crazy!

But I have learned alot this week, and am loving the mission! I know this church is true! I love you all! I know God loves you!
