Week 81
14 May 2018
Hey everyone.so this week has been cool. it wasmy birthday, and id say that it was my best birthday yet. i was able to celebrate it with a family that i love, them and my comp bought a cake and made a rice that here is eaten to celebrate and manit was agreat day. But the week was a little tough, we found a lot of new investigatores but we are having to use our time more wisely and stop visiting the people that dont progress,which that is kinda hard for me cause i love them and want to see them happy,but like they say you can take a horse to water but you cant make him drink. i bring these lovely familys the gospel, but its up to them if their gonna take the offer or not. which is sad but good. this week we also were able to teach thatone family that i talked about weeks ago. they named Yanel and Dunia. man, teaching them is great, cause one, we are the first evangelists that have entered their home, and two, they are very receptive. we taught themabout the resturation and them seem like theyregonnapray and ask God what to do,cause im SURE that they didnt believe us,but we told them to pray. and they will. Thats the beauty of the Gospel. Down here theres a church on every street, everybody beleives in God, but they just blindly follow their pastors doing what he says is the right thing to do. But what we do is different, we tell people to ask God directly if what we teach is the truth or if were the religion most incorrect of the world. And how is God gonna lie? and if they ask, theyll get their answer.
we also had the chance to do a lot of service in this week, i smashed my ankle with a carrito full of rocks. and its a littlebruised but im fine.
this week ive got changes, well im staying in tizatillo and del hoyo is gonnabe my comp.hes the same comp that i was with in cuidad españa. coolguy,well have a lot of fun here.
love yall.

Week 80
7 May 2018
Hey everybody. this week was crazy. i feel like its been three weeks of expirance in 7 days. man, its been nuts. haha.
First on tuesday we went to ojojona to do divisiones with the elders there cause they needed help we got there at 11ish and we were gonna lunch there but then a lady finds us and says i need help building a fence so from 11ish to 12:30ish we built a fence. (it was tough i got burnt and i was mad cuase i didnt wanna do that and i was already on edge because of things with these elders of ojojona) so finally we finnish and there wasnt transport so we hitched a ride to the pueblo. they actually werent gonna go to ojojona, but they took us there anyway. and so long story short, the elders never showed up. so we went back to our area, and wasted a ton of time. But we had the chance to help that lady build her fence and she needed help, and that had to be the will of God. and a lot of the time, it takes more faith to accept God´s will than to see miracles.
We also had consejo de lideres this week. its a big ol meeting for the leaders of the mission. it was cool, we got some nice ideas from pres so we can do something good in our areas. but coming back from tegus, there was a ton of traffic on the two lane freeway lol. a big truck lost control and crashed so nobody could get a round. we lost a lot of time right there. but after we went to visit a chick named kelyn, i think i talked about her last week. she got made at us for not visiting her and we invite her to church. and she says ill never go again. i liked it but i dont want ot go. so i mean, we could keep visiting her, but theres other people that need ot hear us and we just loose our time when people dont try to learn and progress. soshe went on vacation this week and i dont think well see her for a while. maybe she could change her mind but, i doubt it. the thing is is that she recived the answer that she had to go to church and get baptised, but she didnt act on it. and the spirit wont always fight us so she had her chance but she didnt take it.
this week was stressful and cool. im doing fine, i have clothes and food and water and air. the important stuff hah.
love yall.

Week 79
30 April 2018
Hey, this week was nice. ima try to write more for all the requests i get to write more lol. so we gotta killer storm this week, it was crazy. i was in a bus going to a part of my area that is sooooo far from everything, and at first we saw rain and thats normal, but outta nowhere it looked like there was people throwing water at the bus with a fire hose. and the conductor was still flying down the highway passing into the other lane to pass big ol trucks and guy couldnt even see. haha, and cause we couldnt see we passed our stop and got off where there was a little shack where a guy sells fruits and we enter and it happenes to be a wanna be pastor that tried contending with us the other day. lol. what are the odds. well after that we went to visit a family that said they were busy, but we talked to the guy we were looking for and he said we could comeback on tuesday. and to leave we took a hitch back down to the area. in this area we hitch hike all over the place, and the best thing is is that theres so many less active members of the church that one usually passes and takes us to where were going or close.
So our investigatores are progressing, were working really hard with a lady named maria luisa and shes a tough cristain lady, but she loves us and is going to from here on out give us lunch on wednesdays. and shes, really genuine, and has TONS of questions, and so finally when she gets to church shell be soild.
Weve also been teachign a chica named kelyn and the other night we called her to see how shes doing, but she macheted us and said that shed never go to church and doesnt want anything to do with us. it sucked, and then we visited her later and she was fine. and we apologized for whatever (who knows why she got mad, im 89% sure she doesnt even know why she got upset)
well, thats pretty much my week, im safe, healthy, eating well.
love yall.

Week 78
23 April 2018
hey everyone this week was awesome! Man, we have been working so hard, i feel like everytime i come to a new area, im starting from zero. (which pretty much is true) and then i get taken out of that area right when all of my investigatores are doing well. My last area, in Sigua, some menonites that i was teaching are going ot get baptised! WOo! also, Mario and his girlfriend are over and now can be baptised, and wants to do so. and his living with one of his bestfriends right now who is the one who told us to teach him. man, im so hoappy for them. also a family that i activated are still going and the boy Alexis is gonna get bapised. and two other kids that i found are gonna get baptised too. Man, that makes me so happy. Everyone is getting baptised up there.
And well, down here is awesome, i mean as a zona, were not gonna baptise that much but in our area weve found some good people who have accepted a fecha for their baptism.
So we got a chic named kelyn that has investigated the church for ahot minute. and shes been working in a bar and she hated it but needed money. but they were gonna kill her cause she didnt want in on the sketchy trandings so she bailed. and we got her a job with a member of the church form another area. and the guy told her that to work there she has to go to church lol. we told her that it was her decision, but secretly, i think that its awesome and that she should go to church.
also we had a cool expirance the other day there was a little kid that wsa super sick. hes the little bro of an investigator. and his mom gave him some weird honduras remedies, like putting motor oil in his ear. so we said, "we gonna give him a blessing." she says thats fine. and then we gave him the blessing and he was cured in seconds. the faith of the people down here is HUGE. i swear they could really move mountians, its just that they dont know how to puat their faith in accion. in their church they go to sit,to scream, to jump, to feel the spirit, to listen to people speak in tounges, but they dont go to learn. but i guess thats why im here, toshow them the path.
we also had a great leccion with a family. A family that is already married with stong family values that want to go to church together. man! that is the first time that i have taught a family like this. they are faithful followers.
but yeay that was my week.
love yall
