Okay, Muy bueno día familia!!
Yup, Im still here in Honduras doing what I do. This week
has been another good week. Ive had a few neat expieriences and opportunities
this week that were pretty great. So right now, our work is better than ever
before. We have about 10 investagators that have gone to church this last week
or 2 weeks ago. We have some real great investagators who are really doing
that, investagating the church. Weve had a good opportunity to help those less
actives work their way back to the path, and numerous are back on the path.
Weve also had great opportunities to help those that we have baptized. We have
helped them have friends in the church, weve made them feel important, and weve
been to this day visiting them still and showing them that thay are important
to us. I have felt better knowing that I have helped over 8 people in this ward
enter the waters of baptism, and that they are still coming to church and doing
all those things that they should be doing. I dont know if its right to say im
proud of them, but its true, I have the best converts. My converts are
literally the best. Other than that, theres been some interestingly funny
expieriences that weve had this week
So I want to relate an expierience of a man named Otto. Otto
was baptized about 3 months ago, so hes been kinda new to the system, but hes
known about the church all his life. Because hes a new convert, me and my
companion visit him various times in the week. Hes one of our best friends
here. One night we were just walking down the street, knocking doors, looking
for people to teach, and we ran into Otto. he was walking down the street with
a girl who he said was a friend. We walked and talked, and then I asked him,
"so whos your friend". Otto didnt hold back and straight up said,
"yeah, shes my chastity sin." I chuckeled a little and said "oh
really, thats great Otto.. at least you know its a sin." We talked a
little more about really what is the law of chastity, and he understood
perfectly, and I told him he should really think about getting married to get
out of sin, and he really thought about it. Then next day we visited him and
his family. We were just talking with his mom and his sister and Otto, and out
of nowhere, Otto said, "Mom, I have something to tell you, Im getting
married." Me, my companion, his mother and his sister all at about the
same time just went, "What are you doing!?" Out of the blue, he
announced that he wanted to marry his girlfriend. This was one of the craziest
things ive seen on my mission. He called her up, as we were still there, and
told her to come over for a brief moment. She came over, and we just talked,
and ate some tacos together. Then out of nowhere, Otto got down on his knee and
proposed to her. I could not believe what was happening, the mom was yelling at
me to get my camerea to take pictures for rememberance, because she couldnt
belive her eyes. It was freaking great. Otto out of nowhere proposed, and she
said yes, and now we are going to marry the hopefully next month. Also, Otto
took the girlfriend to church on sunday, and after their married, shes getting
baptized. It was a crazy experience that came out of nowhere, but God works
miracles. Its cool stuff. Theres so much more I want to say, but thats All I
got time for today. Love yall con todo mi corazon.
