Buenos días de San Francisco, Quezada, Comayaguela,
Honduras!
Yup, Im in a new area with a new companion. Im in San Fran.
Honduras. I remember the time I visited San Fran in California. One of the
things i remember most was the steepness of all the roads. Well, its no
different than San Fran in Honduras. This area is literally built on the face
of one the tallest mountains in Honduras. I thought Monterrey was built on a
mountain, but Monterrey is a hill compared to this area. There are some real
beautifull sights from my area. I overlook the whole city. Id love to send
pictures as soon as I can. Other interesting things about my new area, is the
ward. The church house is pretty small, but the amount of active members is
huge. Yesterday, 200 members came to church. Thats really good for a ward in
Honduras.
Alright, so Ive been here for 5 days now, and I have a
decent vision of the future of the area. This area is bigger than my previous
zone was. There is a ton of people here, and hardly any have heard the gosple.
This area has a ton of potential, but it is a little dead right now. When I got here, we had 0, nunca, zilch investagators. I was a little
frustrated when I got here, because I worked so hard to build up Monterrey that
was dead, and we were starting to find sucess in Monterrey, and then I get
transferred to another dead area. Im literally starting from scratch here, but
I know its possible to revive this area. It will take time, and a ton of work,
but by the time im done here, this area will be thriving.
The other new thing is my companion. my new companion is
Elder Huanca, pronounced wonka. Hes from Bolivia, and he is in his last 3
months of his mission. Hes really good, and really experienced. All in all, this area needs alot of work. But thats okay, because Im
here to work. I know its possible to revive dead areas, because i revived
Monterey, and i know people can change, because i am a witness of multiple
people changing. If there is one thing that I have been learning more than
anything so far, is the improtance of work. This is called mission WORK for a
reason. Thats what im going to be doing this week, is working. Working with my
companion, working at my area, and working with my personal weaknesses. I know
that through my work, the lord will touch the hearts of those that im working
with, and the lord will help me carry out this work.

The Area... So this area is alot more poor than
Monterrey. It is really rural, but people here are really humble. The house is
pretty nice, but we only have water for 1 hour every week. We have a 20 gallon
bathtub that we fill with water in this hour, but together, me and my companion
only get 20 gallons of water a week to shower, wash clothes, clean dishes, and
for the toilet. Basicallly we shower once every two or three days. It kinda
sucks, but we need the water for other neciary things. Because no water, the shower
is useless, and the toilet doesnt flush. So its essentially the same life i was
living in Monterrey.
Just
have a good week!! Enjoy the 4th for me!!
