Just writing a letter because my companion is sleeping! He's sick and took the medicine that makes you go to sleep on accident! Poor guy! He almost fell asleep while practicing with me! Hahaha But OH MAN! This Elder is POWERFUL!! Elder Garcia!! Love this man! Like I'm so happy there's just no way to describe it! HE is from Ecuador, he's 21 years old, and he is the reason why I fasted when I had for my future companions. He is AMAZING. He's just full of excitememnt and he knows his stuff, but doesn't know a lot of the lessons. I actually know a lot I found out! It's crazy! But he was a mission ward leader for a year before! Kinda freaked out about that because he probably knows more how to work with the ward than me, haha.
OK it's Friday the 28th now and wow just wow. These past two days have been amazing. I love my companion so much. Oh my gosh I'm just so... HAPPY! Like I don't even know. OK I'll start with today. So today was like no other day ever. Had District meeting with our new District Leader and he's real awesome. Then ate balliadas and we taught J** and are trying real hard to help with his doubts about the Book of Mormon, but it's hard because he's 13 and he know it's true, wants to believe, but has family and friends that don't talk good about the church and say all these things. Just pray for him please!! Well at 5:00 we found out the Papa de Eduardo signed the paper for him to go on a mission!! He's one of the F** brothers and like my best friend in the ward here! He was almost crying because how happy he was! And so he went with us and we finally went on this street that for THE longest time I've wanted to go on but never went. And miracles happened. Found 2 families. 3 accepted baptismos. 1 Hermana tiene un fech ya! Por el 27 de Dec.! AH!! Today was nuts, we're not the best teachers, I can't say a lot but have the points down, Elder Garcia can say a lot but doesn't have the points down yet. And that's what makes it beautiful. That the Spirit is using us both to teach those children of God. I've never been so humbled in my life. I'm so tired. So tired, but I am completely happy. When I wake up, I first want to die because it's so early but then I just feel this hope and it's awesome! Oh how great it is to be a missionary! Ah, Like, I don't know if it's too good to be true. But I finally am just forgetting about myself. I just want my companion to learn and want these people to come to Christ and know how we can help them! Everything is just clicking now! So grateful.
Well it's Sunday the 30th and I'm sitting in Pres. Ordonez house waiting for the greatest comida in the world! This Hermana makes THE BEST balliadas in the world. So one of these new investigators I was talking about is a family and accepted baptism and the date for the 27th! SOO PUMPED! Oh and one of the Hermana's in our district gave me 'Insanity' so I can't feel my legs. Speaking of which can you send P90X with the cologne and sound recorder with Tyler?
M** baptism yesterday, was it special or what!? She asked me to do it and I wanted my son to do it, but she was pretty nervous and didn't want to change. We also have 2 baptisms this week. V** and M**! Pray for them because Satan is going to work hard on them. Have I told you how much I love my companion? And training? and being so tired but so happy every night? Can't believe it's Dec.! Sometime when I read your letters and emails, it all seems like a story that isn't real. Haha! Weird huh? Nana! I've gotten your letters and I've responded! I promise! Well love you my peeps! Until next week!
This week I'm THANKFUL FOR MY SAVIOR! Oh snap! I forgot to talk about Thanksgiving! Haha!
Oh my goodness. Mom, you need to accept C** R** on your Insta! She has photos! And I think M** sent them to you on Facebook. He is seriously Greg Eades. He's our ward mission leader and flippin awesome. But anyway, this Barrio should be nominated for the best ward ever. I love them so much! OK so they did this huge Thanksgiving feast for me with turkey, sweet potatoes, and everything! But then get this. We watched this little video on Thanksgiving and then Hma. R** passed around this paper to write what we are grateful for and for everyone to share what they wrote! And I totally freaked because it's just like you MA! But that night I was one happy Gringo in Honduras. :)
And so with that, I'm thankful for Thanksgiving in Honduras. New Inv., candy, that I found out I weigh 187!, MY NEW COMPANION!!, this area, The Spirit, my new Jazz Stockton old jersey, cheap clothes, that bananas here are 1 lempira (20 limps is 1 dollar), that awesome shirts here cost 20 limps, haha!, F. Flores, Sunday's, New District, piñatas, and the mission!
LOVE YA ALL!
