¡Espero que ustedes tuvieron un semana fantástica! On Wednesday
in the afternoon, the power went out in all of Catacamas while we were
teaching. It was extremely windy and probably played a part into why
the power went out. If the power stayed off, we would have to go home
early because it would be completely pitch dark at 7pm
without any lights. We went over to one of the families in the branch
because they were having a celebration-homecoming for a returned
missionary that served in El Salvador. Elder Alvarado, or now Jose,
came home to Catacamas to no electricity. The power finally came back on
around 8.45.
Thursday
we ran into two other gringos. It's kinda strange to have conversations
in English. One of them pulled up to us in his big red truck and
chatted with us for a bit. Even though my Spanish is not that great, my
brain was in Spanish mode and I would respond to him in Spanish. He
eventually said, ¨Please speak to me in English´´ haha. He must not
have many opportunities to do so.
We also
contacted a guy that was listed in our area book named Raymond M****
(yes that is his name). He was super interesting. He was active when
he was younger, but also has a really interesting past. He grew up in
Tennessee and told us that he ran away from home when he was 17 and
lived in California and joined a motorcycle gang, that he specifically
said he was not going to name. He has all kinds of tattoos on his arms
and has traveled all over the place. He said that his wife passed away
and he needed a change in his life. He had a ton of friends that lived
in Honduras and decided to move here and has been here for about three
years. He was super cool and I am excited to go back and talk with him
some more. haha
We had a another Baptism!! Our
investigator Javier was baptized and confirmed this weekend. He is the
son of the Maria the tamale lady from the picture last week. I am not
sure how much I have mentioned of him before, but he is really good
friends with Nahum (a member) and they work together. He was one of the
first people we started talking to when we got to Catacamas. And as I
mentioned in other letters he is part of the family that lives way out
in the outskirts of Catacamas. Hopefully we will keep teaching the rest
of his family as well.
Good week!
¡Hasta Luego!
Hermano Nahum, ElderTorres, Javier y Yo
