Hey everyone, this past week has been crazy! We had a ton of traveling to do so we didn't have a ton of time to work in the area this week. We invited a ton of people to come to the conference, and 2 inactive members made it so that was super exciting.
Thursday
7:00 P.M. - What was supposed to be a 2 hour bus ride to Santa Rosa turned into 3 hours when the bus driver decided to drive at the speed of a horse with a limp.
We stayed with the Elders in Santa Rosa for the whole weekend. Santa Rosa is awesome! It has the same weather as Ocotepeque but it is a bigger city.
Friday
8:00 P.M. - Hour and 15 minute bus ride to La Entrada de Copan for the Zone meeting that started at 10. We learned a lot about finding new investigators which was something we needed to focus on a little more, especially in this area. We already have some new ideas on how to find some new people to teach.
4:30ish P.M. - Bus ride to Santa Rosa where we had interviews with President Bush. He gave us some ideas on to how to help this area a little bit more. Then we went and ate dinner, which was Mexican Tortas. Basically it is their version of a pulled pork sandwich, but even better.
Saturday
We had 2 meetings, one at 3:30 and the other at 6. We learned about how to be better followers of our Savior and one of the stories the 70 at the meeting told us was the monkey trap. They put some food in a hole, and when the monkey comes to get the food out of the hole, it can't get its hand out once he grabs the food. He doesn't let go and just sits there trying to have the food but get away at the same time. Then comes the hunter and captures it. He told us a lot of times sin is the same way. If we just let go of it, we would be able to walk away, and not be captured by the sin. Jesus Christ is always there waiting for us to come unto him, we just need to act.
Sunday
Another meeting at 10, and we learned a lot about being a person who will act. It is important that we act on our faith, and that we always need to reach out to the people around us. After the meeting we went and worked with the Elders from Santa Rosa. It rained so hard the whole time!!!!!!!!!! We were able to teach some people that are awesome.
Monday
We weren't planning on staying for Monday, but the zone had a super cool pday planned because it was one of the ZL's birthday. First we had an hour ride to La Entrada and we went to the church and played a little bit of soccer. Then we went to this waterfall called Tejute, which was super cool! Then we went back to Santa Rosa which was an hour bus ride, and then we came back to Ocotepeque. The bus driver this time was flying, normally the bus ride is 2 hours and change but this time the guy did it in an hour and 45 mintues. It was great.
Anyway, I hope everyone has a good week!
Love,
