Good day from middle of nowhere Honduras hahaha
Campamento, Olancho, Honduras
Yeah, so you remember when I opened my call, and I showed
you the map of my mission? There was a good chunk of land without any cities or
anything. Yeah, Im there... haha. Campamento means encampment, and thats what
it feels like im doing. I feel like Im living in Island park during the
summertime. Im really extremly happy to be here. Im nestled back in the
mountains, and it really feels like home. It takes my back to my scout days
living here! This area is also gigantic, more than 40 miles long. It is the one
of the biggest areas in the mision I belive. Im in just a small little
brach of 20 members strong. Yeah, its kinda been a culture shock because ive
been in the capital city for all of my mission, and now im in backcountry of
Honduras. Other news, I finshed training Elder Espinoza this last week, and now
hes training in my loved area. And i was made a district leader, out here in
Olancho. The closest Elders in my district live more that 40 miles away from
here, which makes things kinda difficult haha. I also have a new companion, and
get this, hes white too!! My new companion is Elder Storrs from Nampa Idaho
haha. Yeah, I feel blessed to be working with a fellow eagle scout from Idaho
out here.
Other than all that, from what ive seen these last 6 days,
Things here are great. The work is a little slower here, but there is alot of
good going. We are working with well over 10 people who are practily ready to
be baptized. One thing Ive seen here, is that people live a very slow laid back
life. They dont do alot, but they are always willing to talk, and even willing
to come to church, and willing to be baptized. Its kinda weird, but hey, I aint
complaining. I am way ready for the future here. Im going to keep working and
Im going to keep doing misionary stuff. There is really alot that I do not know
yet, but I will let you all in when I know! Take care back home, and have a
good week.
