That has been our theme song for this week, practically since Saturday afternoon we have been slammed with mission nurse work; in the office, going to doctors appointments, in the Chases house helping Hermana Chase. I forgot to say, like every mission has assistants to the president, we are basically the assistants to the mission presidents wife. Its a lot of work, but we love it and we LOVE Hermana Chase :)
This Sunday was the Tegucigalpa Stake conference. We ended up having a few emergencies and stayed the night with President and Hermana Chase, and werent able to visit and remind investigators about church the next day. We showed up to the conference and had NO investigators. We were so frustrated and discouraged in the moment, but used that to fuel weekly planning after church. But the best part is - the next day we got to the office and Elder Cherry and Elder Cuevas tell us that one of our investigators walked all the way to their building because he was confused about where to go to church. WHAT?! That doesnt happen!!!!
His name is Cesar, I dont know if Ive mentioned him before, but we sware he is a golden investigator. He is about 50 years old, very humble, and takes everything we say to heart. He is reading, praying, always ready and dressed up every time we want to take him to a members house, he is our favorite :) He has a baptism date for the 16th!
Our other investigator who is really progressing is named Eric, other missionaries have taught and dropped him, but this Sunday we saw him outside his house and he told us he FINISHED the Book of Mormon. Also something that nobody does as an investigator! With the lessons we had with him this week he really opened up about his worries about attending church, and we are truly hoping for the best for him.
Something that has been hard, especially this week, is finding time to teach. With our assignment we have only been in our area a few hours at night, if were lucky, every day except yesterday. But the lessons we have in those hours make everything worth it. We find people who are truly prepared, were able to bring members who can testify exactly to the need of the investigator, we get investigators to commit and follow through with invitations. The Lord is aware and He is blessing the little time we have to bring more children unto Him. For that, we are always singing "por bendiciones que me da, a el dare loor" (from the spanish version of There is Sunshine in my Soul Today).
A funny enfermera story this week - we had a missionary who was very sick and needed to see a doctor, so we figured we would try out a new general doctor with Hermana Chase. This is Hermana Chases first week of driving here, so we truly had an adventure trying to track down this place as none of us knew where it was and there are no addresses or directions in Honduras. We ended up driving outside the mission for a while, but we made it! And it was almost a hole-in-the-wall clinic which we will never use again, there was even blood on the floor when we walked in, I wish I couldve taken a picture of this place. Lots of new experiences as an enfermera!
Speaking of pictures, lost my camera! Hopefully some pictures...soon!
Hasta El Fin.
