Q&A's

Sam's week in pictures... and a few Q&A's.

What did you do for P-day?
We went to Santa Cruz to deliver a fridge, to the zoo, and to Lake Yojoa.

On your mission, when have you seen the Lord's hand in the work you are doing?
An experience that I have seen the Lord's hand in my life is whenever an appointment falls through. Something I have learned, is that when that happens, there is someone nearby that needs us to talk to them. So, instead of getting sad about a fallen appointment, I try to look for the person that the Lord is trying to tell me is there waiting for us to talk to them.

What would you tell a prospective missionary is the most important thing he/she can do?
The most important thing they can do is find themselves on their knees to receive, confirm, reinforce etc. their testimony of Jesus Christ, the Book of Mormon, and living prophets. That is what I would say.

How do you feel the Holy Ghost?
I know the Holy Ghost is speaking to me when I feel calm, or happy. Especially when I have days where it has been stressful or it has felt crazy, anytime I feel peace and calm I know that the Spirit is speaking to me. I also can feel the Spirit testify to me when I hear something that is true.

What do you do for exercise?
We play soccer from 6-7. I am not very good, I kind of know what to do, but executing what is in my head sometimes doesn't work out very well. 😂

How many comps/areas have you had?
8 comps, 5 areas

Pday!!!!

So Wednesdays will be my pday. The first week here has been awesome, and I am so excited to be here. In my district there are 10 of us. 8 Elders and 2 hermanas. Our leader, Elder Pututau comitted to play linebacker at Utah, and he is really cool. He is a huuuugee Tongan. For the most part our classes here are all in Spanish, but our teachers are super good. We have an "investigator" he is really one of my teachers, that we have to teach a lesson to everyday, and the lessons have to be in Spanish. Its really hard, but im starting to get a hang of talking about church things in Spanish, i still am not very good at talking everyday Spanish to the Latinos here :), but im working on it. My companion is from Orem Utah, his name is Elder Maynes, and we`ve gotten along pretty well. Sorry if there are any typos in here, this keyboard is really weird, the shift key is about the size of a tictac. So far with our "investigator" we have gotten to the third lesson, and its going

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.

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
