Hey Familia!
Wow it seems like forever since I last emailed. A
whole lot has happened in the last couple of days! Mi first impression of
Honduras when I walked off the plane was how incredibly humido it was and how
sweet the air smells! The plane flew so low over la ciudad I thought we
would crash for sure but I made it! I met my companero Miercoles! He is an amazing guy who is such a hard
worker. El termino la mision en Junio pero you´d never know it the way he
works! We opened the area of Laureles B and started with absolutely nadie
to teach. Once we dropped our stuff off at our casa we went straight to
work! We found una familia nueva cada dia so we now have 5 and around 30
otro investagadores! It´s so exciting. I did mi primero pruerto
contacto yesterday! It was super scary but apparently she understood my
horrible Spanish and now we´re visiting her Tuesday! I have a hard time
understanding people but my comprehension and ability to talk have gotten a
whole lot better since my first day! I can´t even talk to little kids
yet. They talk so darn fast! We have two incredible investigadores!
We were tocando en puertos, and we were about to go to a different street
but my companion decided to hit one more. He only had
time to say we were misioneros before they told us to come in! When we
did, they brought our a stack of books, (El Libro de Mormon, la Biblia, a whole
old testament seminary manuel, and a few others) and said their papa had read
every one of them and taught his kids (the hermano y hermana) sobre everything
he learned from them! We could hardly believe it. They wanted us to
start teaching them! The Lord really does prepare His children, and we
have met so many already who are ready to hear El Evangelio. Hoy we are
teaching a man, who has received the misioneros for two years now
and has gone to church almost every week, but has not gotten bautizado because
no siente llenar. But we are going to share alma 7, which says that the
Lord will pour his spirit our more abundantly after you´re bautizado and ether
12 which says you´ll receive a witness after the trial of your faith with him
today. I prayed a lot about him, and when we were figuring out what to
teach him, I really think the Spirit brought that scripture to mind. It
seemed obvious after, but we had really been struggling with what to do, so I
think this is all he was waiting for! Sorry we hardly get anytime to
write, but love you guys! Pray for my familias
