Week 3

Well, this week has been awesome. I learned so much in a week, and not just in Spanish. We have been practicing lessons in spanish with other districts so much. It is crazy. I think they are changing our teachers today, which is kind of sad. I really liked both of my teachers. They are both from Guatemala, but they were super awesome. Well today, we got to go to Guatemala City Plaza, and it was super cool. We also walked through the oldest cathedral in Guatemala today. It was super big, but the outside was super dirty. We got to place books of mormon today, which kinda made me nervous, but it was super fun. People here are super friendly, and it was awesome talking to this one guy. We were talking to him for about 30 minutes. We found out he was from Quetzaltenango and he was visiting family. The other people we talked to were all super awesome. We also met a bunch of members today who were just walking around which was kinda weird. I bought this really cool tie in the market down there today. Oh, Guatemalan money is super cool. They are called quetzales. They are pretty much full color. And on the 5 quetz bill, there is a clear section. It looks super cool. I am really enjoying the book of mormon right now. It is really awesome. I find stuff in there everyday to help me in my mission, it is amazing. I really like teaching our ¨investigators¨. It always gives me something to focus on either with Spanish or trying to be able to understand a principle more clearly. Today we have a devotional with President Duncan, and it is supposed to be super awesome. We got to have Wendy´s today, and it was amazing. It was a little different than the USA, but still american fast food. Down here they have an oreo frosty. It is amazing. I didnt realize how much i missed fast food. I love Sundays here in the CCM. They are always super awesome and spiritual. This last sunday we watched a Joseph Smith movie, and it was really powerful. This morning another group of the missionaries left for their missions, and that was super awesome. I cant wait to finally go out in the field. Funny story, today there were a bunch of pigeons at the square, and when we got on the bus to go eat we noticed these kids had a bunch of brown streaks on their shirts. We finally realized it was from the pigeons. It was super funny. We went to a food market today, and it was really sketchy. There were flies buzzing around all of the food. It was kinda scary. Well, thats about all i have for this week.
Adios

The last one!

Wow, this is the last email I am going to send from Honduras. I feel very strange, as if I were leaving home all over again. 2 years ago, I received my mission call to come to San Pedro Sula, Honduras. A city that I didn't know existed at that time. A place where I couldn't speak the language, where I would eat food that I had never tried before. A country where I knew absolutely no one, a city where people who google it, get scared of going there. Yet, I couldn't have chosen a more amazing place to have gone if I could have. 2 years later, I realize that I love this place. I have come to love these people as if they were my family. They have welcomed me here as if I were their family. I have been with them, teaching them about Christ, about the plan that God has for each one of us. I have talked with them about the Atonement, and that through it we can receive forgiveness, strength, and comfort, because the Lord loves us. He gave his life so that we could be happy. I h...

Happy New Year

Whats Up! New Year's here is super cool!!! Everyone here waits to eat until midnight, and  at midnight  everyone in the city sets off every firework they could possibly find. It was super loud, and all of the air was full of smoke and everything it was so cool! The day of new years eve we went to a members house and learned how to make tamales the way they make tamales here in Honduras. It was kind of weird, because they use plantain leaves instead of corn husks, and then they just put a bunch of the filling inside, but it is all raw. The chicken, rice, potatoes, all of it is raw. I was kind of weirded out, but they turned out really good. They cook them in a huge pot over a fire. I would send pictures but I forgot to bring my camera to email today. With changes this week, we lost one of the members of the trio, and I am still in Castaños. We also went to an investigator family`s house and we talked with them about making new goals for the year to come. We talked about how, ...

Honduras!!

Hola. I am here in Honduras finally! So the last day of the MTC was super boring. We just sat there and had a bunch of presentations. Funny story, the last day we were having to weigh bags to make sure they were good, and my companion was over by a total of 15 pounds. He had to leave a few things behind, but it was stuff like shampoo and mouthwash. Anyways, i had to leave the MTC at 3 in the morning to catch our flight to El Salvador, then we connected to San Pedro Sula. they were both about 40ish minutes long so it was really quick. When we first got here, the mission president was waiting for us to take us to the local stake center where we got a few talks about how everything works out here. Anyways after that, they sent us out in the city with one of the older missionaries to go talk to some people. I went out with Elder Lucha, and he is from El Salvador and doesnt speak any English. It was super funny trying to talk to him, and i am sure i sounded like a 2 year old....
