week 12

Dear Family and friends,

How is everyone? I hope everyones happy. 

Life in Honduras continues! And its just great. I cant believe I left home 3 months ago. Feels like 2 days and feels like a century haha this week was really great and I want to share a few experiences.

First a funny experience. We have a family we are teaching, and the mom only wants for her kids to be in a good church, and her kids love it, so she loves it. Theyll get baptized for sure. But she has a 5 year old named chantal. Shes incredibly smart. We asked her why shes so smart and she responded in perfect grammar but her precious high voice "Because I grew up with the internet" so funny.

We had a multizone conference for 10 hours this week and it was great and I learned a ton from president klein. Hes awesome. 

My favorite experience from this week, 3 weeks ago we found a lady named cassandra who is 100% golden. But after 3 lessons she moved, and we had no idea where. So one day this week, we went looking in the morning. Walked a ton, but miraculously found her little sister in the street who then directed us to her house. We knocked on her door and she was SO surprised. She had been praying that the truth would come find her, and that she had been looking for us but couldnt find us. She said that when the jehovahs witnesses came by her house, she didnt want to talk with them because she already had her witness of the truth. So we had an awesome lesson with her and her little sister. Her little sister asked about us and cassandra answered her question by teaching her little sister the entire lessson of the restoration and about the book of mormon!!! It was awesome! It had been 3 weeks and she still remembered almost everything! The lesson went awesome, and were gonna have to give her to the sister missionaries because she doesnt live in our area. But something funny happened at the end of the lesson... She started chastising her sister!!! "Does your church have a prophet?!" "yes" "well, that prophet is false. Because the church of jesus christ of latter day saints has the real prophet and God only has one prophet on the earth" HAHA!!!! I was shocked really haha I was so proud haha 

But the lesson I learned this week is that when people are searching for the truth, and are praying for it, God will send us somewhere. When people really want to know the truth, God will give them exactly what they want. Its one of his favorite questions! 

The mission is awesome. life is great. Love you all.
