This week we did a lot of contacting in an area called El Naranjal. The Elders Quorum had an activity where they went around talking to people and collecting information for us to visit. But the fun part about Honduras is addresses dont exist, so trying to find people an adventure. Everybody lives, "that way in an adobe house" so when someone gives us that as their address we run around in circles until we find them. But we always find them!
This week I finished the book of Heleman in the Book of Mormon. In chapter 7, Nefi is rejected by almost everyone and is feeling really frustrated because of this. He starts to feel for himself the sins and the iniquities of his people because he wants their salvation so badly. We have met a number of people this week with specific challenges, people that really need help. This chapter really helped me to lean that even though I wont literally experience what its like to be an alcoholic or have a spouse leave me, I can invest myself in their cause. I can feel their pain by helping them overcome their problems and come unto Christ. And thats what Im called here to do.
Sorry no pictures this week because this computer isnt working well. But I promise lots next week!
Yep, we teach about 25 lessons a week. Honestly the majority of it is teaching new people the restoration, and we end up dropping a ton of people after that because they either dont want to pray to receive an answer or just dont want to listen to us. Or arent married and dont want to get married. We have very few right now who are progressing a lot because its honestly just really hard to find people who are living the law of chastity or who dont reject us after the first few lessons. Its funny that everyone told me I would have a ton of baptisms, because its just really hard to find people that are ready. Other areas are different though.
Haha actually I stayed in one morning this week because I had a fever, but we ended up going out because honestly you just feel guilty laying in your bed when you should be out and about. Ima ll better it was just one day. But honeslty the food is getting to me. Hermana Josefina, the one who feeds us lunch is great but the food is so heavy. Fried everything, rice, tortillas, SODA. Tons and tons of soda. People will offer us Coke up to five times a day. Its pretty hard on my stomach after a big meal so I eat barely anything at breakfast and dinner, and what I do eat is fruits and veggies and oatmeal and really simple food to try to balance it out.
Yes cooling off! Blessed. The rain is great we get reaaaaally muddy everyday haha but winter is here!
