Week 40

Hey everybody, Its me Elder Owen. I had a killer week, it was cool. But super hot here in Comayagua! But its good, I love it.


So had some cool thing happen this week. The first one is moises. I dont know if yall remember but, we contacted his mom and she hated us, but he asked us if we could come back. And so we did, and he said he could listen to us and we went back and it happened again. And it happen like 5 times until saturday. He said to us, "Hey, im going up the mountian to plant some trees. Could you guys come with me? I really wanna hear what yall have to say." So we did, and he is super into the Idea of the Book of Mormon. And, he started out explaining what he knows about God and our church. and so Then from there we just chatted for like two hours while we`re on that mountain (Im super sunburned for that haha) but it was awesome. And , he came to the chruch later that day for an activity.


The activity was almost a failure, nobody showed up and it was the missionaries and a few members and invest. who showed up hah. Even the bishop didnt show up.


So this week, we left with the bishop to visit. and we went to a lady who is a menos activo. and she loves the church but isnt going cause her mom faked sick so that she would leave the mormon church. like she used a dying wish and said dont be mormon. But shes fine now lol so its a tough situation. But shes a good lady and wants to get back to church but just feels like she doesnt know how.


We also left with a Less active member named alex, we eat dinner with hi every thursday. Hes a good guy, and wanted to go on a mish but he had a girlfriend and they got married instead. But as we left with him to visit, we found one person to teach in 3 hours. But, i dont care about that. The point is. Is that as we were with him, he started talking to us about religious expiriences hes had. And how he feels the need to have spiritual growth. So he said si or si. were gonna go to church this week, just cause we helped him remember the important stuff.


We had some funny things happen thi sweek too.
We had a contact, she is cathloic. My comp like to get into the scriptures with people sometimes so he asked her, "why do yall baptise babies?" She said, "for the original sin" and then she explained the original sin isnt adam taking th apple, it was how your parents made you. So according to her we are all sins. lol


We left with a member to visit his cousin and guy lives in a little mud house. but it has a roof of metal and everything. but, my comp had to go to the bath room and the guys wife says to him, "go whereever you want. we dont have a bathroom" so we "went" behind their house haha but the truth is people go to the bathroom in the street here all the time. its kinda normal.


As well, my comp is learning english with me and he wanted to say, "she is a flirt." but he cant say flirt, so he said, "she is a fart"


well thats the longest email on earth. enjoy


love yall
