week 102 Clifford the Big Yellow Mutt

So funny thing is that after Olga was not at all that positive and we dropped her, she starting coming to church and supposedly wants to get baptized so that is crazy. Also has anyone else noticed that I almost always start with "so" or "well"? Anyway.

We found a new investigator this week named Marisol. She is super positive, and super chatty. She is already starting to read the Book of Mormon, in the first week of taking the discussions! That's weird here in Honduras, cause no one ever even reads the pamphlets. We have a lesson with her tonight and with a member, Dilcia. Hope that goes well! The only problem is that her husband is a little bit posessive and doesn't want to let her go to church, (but they ARE married which is a first for my mission too.) Haha.

So a funny story happened the other day. My companion and I left the house of a family of investigators we have been teaching, (Kimberly, Adonis, Marcos, Yamilet, Sione) and we walking to our next appointment at about 7:30 two nights ago. We were walking when we noticed that Clifford, their dog, an aguacatero (mutt), was following us. He followed us across a pretty large space of our area, and we couldn't seem to shake him off. He just wouldn't stop following us! As we kept walking towards a busier street, we noticed we didn't see him anymore. While waiting for a good moment to cross the street, we forgot about Clifford completely. Once we had an opening we cross the street, and see Pope, a member in our ward. We head over to talk to Pope, and about 5 seconds after we start the conversation, we hear grinding metal on the street accompanied by sparks and some shouts. We turn back to the street to see a motorcycle accident caused by, GUESS WHO? CLIFFORD, WHO TRIED TO CROSS THE STREET TOO. We quickly ran over to help the mirrors and lights and the plastic neck covering of the motorcycle was pretty beat up. It was a man about 50 years old who just laid in the street groaning. I pulled his motorcycle out of the street and put up the kick stand and after a few minutes helped the man to the sidewalk. BUT DON'T WORRY EVERYONE, although it was a pretty bad accident... Clifford remained untouched and ran away. And the motor cyclist too. The motorcycle however did get beat up.

Anyway, but Marisol is super cool, she shares what she feels, and says that God has been preparing her to meet with the missionaries. She is right! She also relates the Book of Mormon everytime we talk with her, to her life. 

Have a great week
