Whoo! This week went by really fast and I am having trouble remembering
what we even did. It´s because I got really bad at writing in my
journal this week. haha.
We did a lot of teaching
new-ish people this week. We have been spending a lot of time exploring
and contacting in parts of the area that we haven't been in before.
Our area is so huge, I have two transfers here and probably have only
explored 50% of the area. So that´s fun. I like going to the outer
parts of the area because it's super scenic sometimes.
On
Wednesday, I had intercambios with Elder Acosta. We pretty much just
contacted all day. But once again in unfamiliar parts of the area. Fun
stuff.
We have this one investigator, Lurbin,
who Elder Torres and I contacted way back in February, but she has been
progressing a lot lately. She came to one session of conference and
read through 1 Nephi in just a few days and is reading in 2 Nephi.
Getting her to pray about it is the hard part. She always asked random
questions regarding music and dancing, so we gave her a for strength of
youth pamphlet to answer most of her questions haha.
Todo
esta bien en Catacamas esta semana. Creo yo puedo hablar en espanol,
pero eso es un mentira. Necesito practicar y estudiar mas siempre.
pues...
Tengan una semana increible!
Adios!

¡Hola!
Another
week gone. Time just seems to fly by. Funny story, it took me three
months to realize that there are fireflies in Honduras. The power went
out one evening this week at around 7:00 so we were walking back to the
apartment. I saw these little lights floating around the air. I guess
you can´t normally see them when all the streetlights are on. It takes a
power outage for me to even notice them. It was even funnier because
Elder Bradshaw and I were talking about fireflies just a few days
earlier. yup
Another
bug story! We found this giant demon spider in our house. It was on
Elder Bradshaw´s desk and we used Elder Acosta´s electric tennis racket
thing to kill it. haha Electrocuting spiders is kind of entertaining.
So
our investigator Lurbin makes and sells baleadas from her house, and we
made a deal with her that if she didn´t go to church, she owed us
baleadas. It was kind of a joke, but she actaully came through with her
end because she didn´t go to church. BUT, she did go yesterday! She
brought her two little brothers and her daughter, and they were so well
behaved during sacrament meeting and had a fun time in primary. She is
reading the book of mormon and understands the things that we are
teaching her, except prayer! She will get there eventually.
We
have had some really hot days in Catacamas and not a ton of success
contacting this week. A lot of people are not home or there were only
women home so we can´t enter the houses. And a lot of our investigators
haven't been home when we come by. But it has been fun to explore some
new parts of the area still. Walk down a random road until we come to a
house haha.
This morning, as a district, we climbed up la cruz again, because why not? haha.
Overall, a good week!
¡Adios!
