Week 60

9 Day Week

Dearest Family and Friends,

Its been a long 9 day week and pday is finally here! But its been a great 9 days. as always. 

We had a reunion in La Ceiba with all the mission leaders. It was AWESOME!!! I feel super excited to work even harder. President talked about how he really isnt just focused on baptisms. He wants us to be able to do EVERYTHING well. Not just two or 3 things super well and everything else is crap. So it helped me a ton.

This week with my district we put a new goal. To find 60 new investigators this week. And so everyday at 430-530 we all go contacting. Its the best hour to find anyone. And to make it more interesting we have key words we have to say. Yesterday was "pidgeon" or in spanish "pájaro" today is the word "chuleta" tomorrow. Who knows what itll be! Its a blast really.

Andy is doing better! He told us that he wasnt going to church because he felt terrible for some sins he had commited after his baptism. We helped him to speak with the bishop this sunday and now he feels much better! Repentance it what helps us to love the lord, and then its much easier to be obedient! That is why it is so important that everyone repents of their sins and gets rid of their guilt, because then they will really grow their love for the lord and they will want to be obedient! 

WE HEALED A BABY THIS WEEK! Well I know it wasnt me who healed him it was God through his priesthood but still it felt so awesome to work a miracle and be an instrument in gods hands! Rafaels 3 year old took a hard fall and split his head open. He was running a terrible fever when we passed by his house and Marin had the prompting (of hunger) to ask for an empanada. We entered and blessed the baby. I could actually feel what the Lord wanted me to say and we finished the blessing and walked out back to help rafael build his house (yes ive done everything in my mission from wash dogs to build houses) and the doctor was already on her way to see the baby. When she got there, there was no need to give any medicine to the baby, because his fever had already gone down and he was sleeping peacefully. The priesthood is real. Never forget it.

So funny stuff. I was getting fat so last week we started going to the gym. For 5 dollars a month I have full gym access and a personal trainer hahah how cheap huh? Well Im getting in good shape again and with being in good shape comes immense hunger. I cannot stop eating. I am ALWAYS hungry. My parents sent me 4 bags of beef jerky and two bags of peanut butter m&ms. Gone in 4 days. hahahaha Ive gotta figure out a way to control myself haha 

Well. Im loving life still! pumped to leave this area next week but i will always love this place. Nuevo San Juan will always be my pride and glory,

I love you all!
