Just when it was starting to cool off

Alright, we had a pretty good week this week. Last week it was kind of starting to cool off, but this week was an oven. Sometimes more than an oven. We were almost dying. We taught more of the people that we had found. We are really working hard with 2 of them. One of them is Leyni Garcia. She is super cool, and really wants to learn more about the church. She came to church this past Sunday and had a ton of questions about it afterwards. The other one is named Manger, and he is super cool. When we cross the Bridge from El Roble to Castaños, we pass him. He is always selling Elotes, grilled corn. One day he called us over and we taught him a little bit. The second lesson he told us that he hadn't been selling hardly any corn. So, when he prayed, one of the first times he had ever prayed, he prayed to have success selling the corn. Whenever we pass him now, he is selling like crazy, and when he sees us he gives us a thumbs up and smiles. We are still working to get him to church, but it is kind of hard because he helps take care of horses on Sunday. So, we are doing really well. 
We watched the Christmas devotional with the same family that gave us Thanksgiving dinner, so that was really good. This time of year is one to be happy. One of the ways to be happy is by looking outward from yourself, and serving others. Here on the mission,  I have noticed that when I am thinking about how I feel, that is when I can start feeling sad. But, when I focus on what other people are feeling and how I can help them, that is when I am happiest. This time of year is to celebrate Christ's birth. There is a video about serving others on lds.org, the video is super good and everyone should watch it. Anyway, everyone have a good week!

Funny Story
1. We were talking to a few people on the street and this guy came up to us and started talking to us too. It started out fine and normal, but then he asked us if our church believed in talking in tongues. We were all like yeah, and Elder Trujillo pointed at me. The guy said, "No, talk in angelical languages." We said we didnt know what he was talking about. He started telling us this story about how one time he was sitting in church, and this light entered his eyes, and he started talking in a language that he didnt know. This lady asked him what language he was speaking, he said,"I think it was arabic, or hebrew." The lady asked if the people there could understand him. And he said that they could. She said," Oh, then you were around a bunch of people from that area of the world." He said no, got really frustrated, and didnt know what to say. Then he just stormed off. it was kinda weird.

Food
Sopa de Caracol- This is one of the soups that Honduras is known for, there is even a song about it. It is made with conch (i think) meat, shrimp, yucca, and green plantains. It is really good. why people in honduras are making soup when it is 100 degrees, i dont know.

  1. Did someone teach him about including funny stories? I think that's a great idea. Might be nice to include into my journal...
    He is learning many of life's greatest and simplest lessons. I'm so glad he belongs to you and that you share him with us.

Raining fish and 1,000,000 degrees

Heyo! This past week was really good. We were able to teach Jackelin and also Emili. It has been amazing to see the change that has happened in Jackelin's life. When we first found her, she was a little bit beat down by life. But, now she is so happy, and she has a hope for her life that she didn't have before. We are still teaching Jorge and Maria, and they are awesome. Jorge has a desire to change his life, he is just is a little scared that he will mess up and he doesn't want that. But, when we mess up there is always a chance to come back to the correct path. Through the Savior, Jesus Christ, we can truly change, even when we continue to mess up. We can continue to pick ourselves back up, and continue to do what we know is right. Also, this week was the hottest week I have had since being here. The fans have stopped helping, because all they do now is blow hot air on us, and it is worse than not having any fan at all. But, we are finding other ways to cool off.

Done with training

Well, i am officially done with training on Wednesday. Transfers are also that day, so I will probably get a new companion. It is most likely that I will stayin the area that i am in for at least 6 more weeks. This area is awesome,it is in the city,but it is pretty calm compared with other parts or San Pedro Sula that I have seen. The families here are awesome. This past week was pretty good. We almost baptized Lester Garcia this last week, but his friend was in a motorcylce accident so he was with him. We are hoping he will be able to this week, he is a really good guy, and he just wants to follow Christ and make his life better. Tomorrow all of the new missionaries that are coming get here. We get to go and work with them for the day so that will be fun. Looking back on the past 12 weeks, i realized that I have learned a lot. At the beginning walking down the street and talking to complete strangers was really hard for me,and now i hardly even think about it. I have learned a lot of

Warm weather is back!

Hey everyone! So this week was super good. We were able to keep teaching Lesly and Leiny. It has been awesome to be able to see their progress in this time that we have been teaching them. We are excited to keep teaching them, and we hope that they will continue to learn more about the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  This past week we were running out of places to contact, because our area doesn't have very many contactable houses because of the gates on the streets, so we went to a poorer part of our area. It was super cool, because we were able to find people that were awesome and prepared to hear the Gospel. So we will see how that goes with all of them.  Elder Trujillo was kind of sick this past week so that wasn't very fun for everyone but, we are hoping the medicine he has now will help him out.  Every time that I teach the Restoration of the Gospel I feel the spirit, it is amazing. I know that the Church is true, and that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God. In my missi
