Another week has passed by! This week we had
interviews with Presidente Fortuna. We had them at the chapel and not
in our apartments this time. (which means we didn´t have to make them
spotless! haha) He wanted us to have scriptures memorized about the
atonement, so we could share one with him in the interview. I shared
Alma 7:11, which talked about how
Christ
suffered for all of our pains, afflictions, sicknesses, and sins. I
really like this scripture because many times people think that Christ
only suffered for our sins, but he took ALL of our pains and sicknesses,
sins, and pretty much anything negative in our lives upon himself, and
that we can be healed in SO many ways through the atonement.
Later
that day, we had divisions and I went with Jose Luis, a member, and
also the first counselor in the mission presidency happened to be in
Catacamas that day so he went with us as well. So I was just a little
nervous. But everything was great. We visited a less active family.
Sally and Suyapa. Sally was sick, so we offered to give her a
priesthood blessing. She asked me to give it, and I was kind of
nervous, because I had never given one before, let alone in Spanish.
But that is what the mission manual is for, so I was able to use that to
help me along. It was a short blessing, and I don´t really remember
what I said, but I know that the spirit was guiding me.
We
have been walking a TON this week, out in the hot sun, but we have been
able to visit a lot of investigators and less active members. We
technically had nine investigators with baptismal dates, but NONE of
them could make it to church on Sunday. But I have hope for next week!
We also had to give talks in sacrament meeting. Presidente Gomez
called us at 7:00 am
on Sunday and asked us to give talks about baptism and the gift of the
holy ghost. Too bad our investigators weren't there to hear them.
We
are going to Juticalpa again for p-day, but we are writing before we go
so we won´t have any complications. We might go explore a river nearby
or something. Whoo!
¡Adios! ¡Hasta Lunes!
