Hey there! Everything is good here. How’s it over there?
This week has been a pretty fun one!
This week in church we had three male investigators come and
that is awesome!! They all have a baptism date and that means potential
priesthood! Up in San Marcos that is something we seriously need desperately!
For the moment my companion, the group president, and I are the only priesthood
holders that are active. And unfortunately, none of the other men really want
to come back to church so that is hard but now we have three potential
priesthood holders! I'm stoked about it!
Also today is the day of changes! I am going to be
continuing in San Marcos and I'm gonna be training! This will be my third son
here in the mission and I'm super excited to see how that all works out for me!
Training can be very stressful sometimes, especially when your new companion is
not one who wants to work or came onto the mission for the wrong reasons! I am
hoping and praying that whoever I am going to be teaching is going to be
willing to listen to me and my counsels! But, I guess tomorrow once I get to
the capital then I'll know who he is!! Exciting right?!
Well, this week was a pretty good one I guess. There wasn't
anything super duper exciting that happened but we did have a pretty fun
opportunity to go and see the cow herds of one of our new investigators! His
name is Jose and he is sooo funny! I think the best way to describe him would
be by saying he acts just like Mr Fredrickson from the movie UP and I just love
the guy! But yea so on Saturday morning we went up with him to go see his cows
and all of his land,which by the way is 90 acres, also he showed us his coffee
plants!! Haha. He taught us about why
coffee grows so well in Honduras and about how he and many others here ship
their coffee to the states to big companies like Starbucks that buy their
coffee from here! He also showed us how to pick and strip coffee! Haha, I never
once thought in my life that as a missionary of the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter Day Saints I would learn so much about coffee! Haha. I guess it was just
one of those many unexpected lessons i learned here in the field. Truly though
it was a lot of fun to go up there and learn all about him and tend to his cows
and he worked the land with him. As we were leaving it was funny because he sat
us down and told us that this was the promised land and so we affirmed
everything he was saying with scripture and it was awesome to see him come to
the realization that he has always known a simple truth he just wasn't ever
sure of it! That moment we were with him he had more light enter into him and
now he knows.
I really do love being here as a missionary and always
helping others to come to know these simple things. I love the church so much
and I know God loves each and every one of us! Also I know that Jose, our
investigator, knows now that God blesses us because He wants each and every one
of us to be happy! I love you all!
