week 95: Los Ortiz


So for a little while now we've been teaching a less active family, the Ortiz Family, they are pretty cool, and we have started to work them A TON. Originally, the plan was just to reactivate the family, because they are a TON of people, (The Grandparents, 5 of the Kids, a million grandkids, and a few great grandkids) in just one house. BUT little by little they have been giving us references. Out of this family we've started teaching Eduardo, (super duper positive, boyfriend of one of the grandkids) and like 5 of their cousins who live nearby. They are super dope and super helpful. Including bringing their cousins to church, and sewing my ripped up shirts. 

Also this week, we did divisions and were able to find some cool new families in the ward.

ALSO we had a sweet family home evening with a sister and her family. Even her husband came to church this sunday, and he hasn't gone in forever.

It's been a really busy week, awesome experiences, but nothing really funny to tell.

On Saturday, President Figueroa of the Tegucigalpa Stake Presidency called my companion and I to give a 20 minute lesson to the Stake Deacons on Sunday, on how they can be part of the mission work and share a book a Mormon with their friends. It was actually pretty fun preparing the lesson and I think we did a great job. Unfortunately only 6 deacons in the ENTIRE STAKE showed up haha. So he thanked us and asked us to do it again on the 25th. It was actually nice when he called because he said "I want you to come teach, blah blah blah, because I've seen how you and your companion work together and get along and I like it, so I want you to be an example for the deacons." 

While at that same meeting, our Stake President realized that he was companions in the mission with my companions cousin, and our Stake President got excited like a 10 year old with new legos, because he loved my comp's cousin. It was especially funny, because our Stake President, is HUGE, Ripped, and bald, and it was like seeing Vin Diesel turning into a little kid again.

Good Week, pics included.
