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.
Did someone teach him about including funny stories? I think that's a great idea. Might be nice to include into my journal...
ReplyDeleteHe 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.
