More Area, More Opportunities

March 23, 2015

Hey Guys,

We have another really exciting week here in Honduras. I am having a blast. This last week was transfer week, but only the sisters in our district got changed, so we officially inherited their area. They didn't leave us many investigators because the majority live in the part that went to the other companionship. We have contacting a ton, and we have found some people that are seriously incredible. I feel like every week we find more and more people that have been prepared by God.

This Saturday we are going to have a baptism! I am so excited. Their names are Ossman and Stim (pronounced "Steam"). They are two brothers and are 18 and 16 years old. It should be really cool.

This week we found a lady that is less active while we were eating dinner, and we asked if we could go to her house and share something with her. She said that it was fine, so on Saturday we went to visit them. She let us in and introduced us to her two kids and her brother. Her brother is super cool. Two years ago, he was in an accident and his legs were basically destroyed, so he can't walk or even stand. He just hangs out in his house all day, but he is the funniest dude. He likes to make fun of all the gringos and he is just an all around happy guy despite his condition. We are starting to teach him the lessons and hope to baptize him in April or May. The biggest issue is getting him to church, but we are going to talk one of our taxi friends into driving him to church every Sunday for free. Plus, he has tattoos, which will make the baptism just that much cooler! Haha.

Our week was pretty uneventful. I am loving the mission more and more, especially now that it looks like we are going to be seeing some of the fruits of all this work. I hope you all have a great week.
