Happy mothers day! How grateful I am for my beautiful mother! And being able to skype in an airconditioned room? Nothing better!!!! haha
Mothers day was great here. We had 10 investigators at church this sunday. Our gospel essentials class was so large we had to move outside under the shade of a tree! Pretty awesome. We brought a brand new investigator, her name is Isamar, to church. Very sincere nice girl. Shes 21 and loves her family and is very interested in the fact that families can be together forever. Church started perfect with sacrament being all about how the gospel blesses families, then 2nd hour about eternal families (perfect!) but then the 3rd hour....... They started talking about baptisms for the dead, not terrible, but the teachers were nuts!!!!!! Speaking all kinds of crazy deep, halfway false doctrine! So yeah. Luckily isamar was in her own world in the third hour, so she still is interested in the church haha
So this week was strange. We had all sorts of zone activities that were a grand waste of time. We really dont have enough time in the day as it is!!! Then, we waste more time with the zone doing nothing. But, this week I had an interview with my mission president and got to know him better! Hes super smart and is really loving. Hes awesome.
So I had a bittersweet experience this week. We found this lady, named Cassandra, who was just starving for the truth. She hollered for us from her balcony, thinking we were jehovahs witnesses! She just wanted to hear the word of God! So we taught he the restauration and she was blown away and without even hearing about the book of mormon she knew joseph smith was a prophet! But one of the first things we found was that she was gonna move soon. After our third lesson, she moved out of our area. But shell get baptized. I know it.
So funny story but testimony builder. Today, we ran out of money, so I went to a bank to try and change us dollars into honduran money. Were at the counter, and the teller is saying that without my passport he doesnt know if he can change the money. So the whole time im praying, because we needed money! He comes back and says no, but not ten seconds later his manager comes by and says whats the problem? Theyre missionaries! Change the money! haha!!! Super awesome. The Lord watches over us for sure. Even in little ways.
So this week I studied the talk the 4th missionary again. All need to read it. it has changed my life. again. haha
Well, love you all!
