F
amilia!
This week was sweet! And a huge
bummer. Our investigator ended up not being baptized. But we found an awesome new
family! We were knocking on doors and the guy told
us to come back so we could teach the whole family and to bring a Book of
Mormon!! We got there for the lesson, he sat all of his kids and wife on
the couch, took away all technology, and told them to pay attention. It was
amazing! We have never had a lesson like that where the whole family was so attentive.
The dad said once we finished that he wanted to start reading the Book of
Mormon everyday as a family until they finish!! We were SO pumped! We
also found another family. Every single one of our citas fell
through, every single one of our back up citas fell through, and every single
one of our back up back up citas fell through that day. We were seriously
bummed. We had literally just walked for 6 straight hours trying to find
anyone to teach. We get down to 8:30, half an hour before we have to
go home, and we decide to knock one last door.

We pick the street, and then got
behind the corner and I said one last, a little desperate, prayer. I
asked to find one new family and one new hombre mayor que 18 años. We just
wanted something before we called it a day. My companion picks a house
and we knock. Before I could finish saying hola hermana she invited us
in. She had a son older than 18. Not ten minutes later, her husband
walks in. They sit down, and we teach a short lesson about families and
the Book of Mormon. Our Heavenly Father listens to our prayers. My prayer
was answered with exactly what we asked for within minutes. I was humbled
and grateful for such a direct answer. My testimony has grown so much on
this misión! More than I even thought possible.
Love you guys!

I
miss tuna sandwiches. That’s the first thing I want to eat when I get
home. They don’t make cookies here! If I can do one thing for
Honduras before I leave, I will spread the joy of homemade cookies.
