week 94: BUSY

SO I didn´t make a recording this week, cause I´ve been busy. It´s been a good week. This Wednesday there were changes, but in the entire zone only one sister missionary had a change. 

Also on Wednesday, Elder Cuevas and I went to the dentist for his operation thing. It was pretty funny cause each X-ray showed up on a big screen. At first I saw the tooth, another picture of the tooth.... another picture of the tooth, and suddenly the next X-ray he had this giant rod straight through his tooth into his nerve. Looked super painful. Luckily they drugged him up. And lucky for you guys too, because his drugged up face is the funniest thing in the world (picture attached.)

The bishop finally this week is going to call a ward mission leader. Also... I have no idea what else. This month we have a couple of investigators with baptismal dates, but I´m not too sure if they´ll really ended up getting baptized this month. There´s a lot of work for now.

Anyway! Love you guys.

Also we tried burning Elder Cuevas´ tie for the longest time, but since it was part plasticy, it took forever. We ended up breathing those nasty fumes for like 30 minutes till we got the whole thing to burn.

week 93: Elder Cuevas Sure Has Got Some Nerve

This whole week Elder Cuevas has been complaining about a slight pain in his tooth, and I didn't really believe him, and didn't want him to make a dental appointment, cause I didn't want to lose time on P-day. Well anyway, it got worse, and he ended up calling the nurses, and they put a dental appointment today, so for that reason I am writing so lately. TURNS OUT. His tooth filling is damaging a nerve of his, and it's infected. SO he really was sick after all, and I'm just a bad companion hahaha. What nerve.

This week has been pretty good! We have placed a lot of new baptismal dates, and so we will see how that goes! This week there are changes on Wednesday, but Elder Cuevas and I are staying together. I'm happy cause he's cool and we work well together. This will be my second to last change, so I'm kind of thinking I might die/finish here in the 21 de Octubre.

Here's some pics that we took last night cause we didn't have pics to send this week.

ENJOY!

week 92: Mother's Day

Well it was kind of the coolest talking to the family yesterday, so thanks guys for that.

This week was actually incredibly busy. We had our baptisms and left a bunch of investigators the week before, so we went contacting a lot and looking for references this week. WHICH RESULTED WELL. This week we put two new  baptismal dates. One is for Eduardo, a 25 ish year old, who lives not too far from our house, his wife is a reactivating member, and his mother-in-law, is active. and Olga, who is actually Eduardo's legal cousin. SO it's been going pretty well. We also had a really cool mother's day activity on Saturday and my companion and I performed a skit. A member has the video, maybe someday she'll pass it to me. 

But I guess I'll share a thought on specific prayers. It's true that if you want a specific blessing or a specific answer, you really need to have a specific prayer. On Tuesday we decided to find new investigators. We went contacting and worked hard, but literally had 0 news. Hardly anyone let us in and those who did, didn't really have an interest. (An investigator isn't somebody that listens to the lessons, but rather somebody who is actively investigating the church with a desire to learn more and make a change.) And on Wednesday we decided to make a specific prayer asking for 3 positive new investigators. Without any surprise, before we had even eaten dinner, we had already found the 3 positives.

It was a really busy week. I'm not sure what else to write other than a funny story because I just barely talked to you guys.

Last Pday, we all got on the bus. The front was full, and so we went to the back, where it was completely empty except one seat 3 rows up from the back had a very pretty young lady woman person. I sat first in the very back and an Elder (Whose name I won't put, only that he is a north american.) Sat next to her. immediately the other North American elders began joking about him sitting next to her, and that he was dumb pretty much. He just laughed and raised his hands. While on the bus ride, he leans over and opens the window and her hair goes flying and everyone laughs again and jokes about it. AT THE END OF THE BUS RIDE, we all get up and one of the elders didn't have a enough for the fare, he turned to the rest of the NA Elders and asks for money. IMMEDIATELY THE PRETTY CHICK STANDS UP AND HANDS HIM THE AMOUNT OF MONEY NEEDED AND IN PERFECT ENGLISH SAYS "HERE YOU GO." HE ASKED HER IF SHE SPOKE ENGLISH AND SHE SAID "YES I SPEAK ENGLISH." AND SITS BACK DOWN. IMMEDIATELY WE ALL BROKE UP LAUGHING BECAUSE SHE HAD UNDERSTOOD EVERYTHING THEY HAD SAID. Literally was the funniest thing in the world. LESSON LEARNED? ENGLISH IS A VERY COMMON LANGUAGE TO SPEAK.

week 91: William and Suamy Celeste

This Thursday we had a big family home evening in the house of the Inestroza family. The mom and dad were baptized 17 years ago, but inactivated as soon as they were baptized, because they moved to a small town in the middle of nowhere where there was no church. There the family became super Catholic. Eventually, their first son, Alejandro, learned about the church from his Aunt when they moved to a bigger city, and was baptized and began to attend church. Then once Alejandro was 18 they moved to Tegucigalpa for the kids' education. William attended church in our ward and that's how we got to know the family. We've been working with them for a good few weeks. Anyway. So we invited all the leaders in the ward for a big family home evening with pizza and a spiritual video and that kind of stuff. It went super well, afterwards, the younger siblings, William, 15 and Suamy Celeste, 11, passed their baptismal interviews.

They are super awesome, William attends seminary, the mom has reactivated (which was really surprising by the way, she was super closed off). And the family is just the best to be honest. Saturday we had their baptism and everything went perfectly.

BTW tomorrow I have 100 days left. Weird right?

There are more pics but my comp has them in his camera and it's charging rn, so as soon as I get them I will send.  (they are attached)

week 90: WELL FLIP

I don't know what happened but I was writing and it all got deleted.

ANYWAY.

This week was chill. We have 2 baptisms coming up this next week. (William and Celeste)

On Wednesday I accidentally locked my companion and I out of the house in our PJs while doing laundry. I laughed and thought it was funny, but he got really mad.

Saturday we had a super rad activity. With water balloons and with games and treats and a lot of people came it was sweet. I DIDN'T TAKE FOTOS. But I do have a video I'll upload another day.

Sorry for short email, next week I'll write more.

Today we ate sushi and oriental food. It was all right but super expensive and now I'm poor again.
