Hoiiiii!
Wow
quite the week!! It was so good talking to you guys and seeing your
beautful faces and my companion enjoyed seeing Janaes battle wounds...
Bahahaha
I definitely will never forget this
Christmas. I prayed a lot for strength as I talked to the family and
felt a little extra strength from the Lord. I have never eaten so much
food before in my life. On Christmas eve we had 5 dinner appointments. At our last dinner appointment, which was the most food, I almost
started crying after the second bite, then said a prayer and all was
good! The members were so warm in opening their homes for us and showed
us the meaning of service. We tried going to all of our visits on
Christmas, but kinda had to recoop from all the tamales from the day
before. FIREWORKS. I guess they are pretty big for Christmas and on
Christmas Eve people party ALL night long until Christmas morning with
fireworks, There were a couple mini bombs that went off at 3 in the
morning and our entire house shook. Cant wait to see what new years eve
is going to be like!
If all goes well, we will have 2 baptisms this week
with Hermano Santos (which I dont think there is a more perfect
investigator) and Hermana Caroline! Hermana Caroline has a special place
in my heart. She is 9 months pregnant and has a 4 year old boy with
more energy than 5 kids put together. She is such a hard worker and so
strong. We passed her house one day as she was bent over cutting her weeds
with a machete 9 months pregnant. I had the opportunity to learn how to
use a machete and I felt pretty cool. She goes to church by with her son every week and feeds Hermana Alcequiez and I every thursday.
When we asked if she wanted to be baptized she asked if she could be
baptized the next day. She has had some problems with her husband, but is the perfect example of a strong, caring mother.
The Lord is keeping me on my toes with a call to give a 10 minute talk 5
minutes before we left for church, but Im learning how to be flexible on
the mission.
New years!!
Crazy to
think I´ll be here in Honduras for this next year, but Im excited! Ive
learned on my mission that when we set goals we are showing our faith.
We need to make goals to be aware of where we're at in life and where
we are going. Only through the Savior. do we have the opportunity to
become better, but we need to be humble. Also to realize that no one is
perfect, but because of the Lord and his eternal sacrifice, we can have
hope.
Ether 12:27
And
if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto
men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all
men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves
before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become
strong unto them.
I love you guys!

are always selling the juice inside called aqua coco and I finally got
to taste it! It didnt really taste like anything, but I felt cool
