Elder Alec Johnson: 10 de Agosto 2015

Well everyone. I don't know how to start off because I have never felt such joy and happiness... Totally feel like Alma the younger with the things before and how I feel now. (Alma 36:19-21)
So I'm in Siguatapeque BABAYYYY! (Where the guy from the video who made the helicopter is from.) I'm with Elder Paiz, 1st gringo, and we came to Honduras at the same time. It is nuts. And so fun. And hard to explain what's going on. So we're zone leaders but we're opening a new area! They switched the ZL's from Esperanza to here because a lot of factors. And it's my favorite area. It's crazy because we're starting all new but the members are incredible and I wish I could explain the half of what's going on and who family Mendosa is and how great they are and how much they're going to help us. Ahh.. All I can say is God has prepared everything for this moment. Everything. It's all in place to perform miracles and my companion and I are so stinking' pumped and full of faith, it's not even funny! God knows all His children.
So thing is with the familia Mendosa is they are a fam here, they all know English, and they're just beasts. They are also missionaries in our mission for marriage. And that will come into play later this month.. but anyway, the wife is family of Pres. Ferman, our mission president, and the missionaries before did some really dumb stuff. Oh boy did they. But so they talked with Pres. Ferman and now there's ZL's here! He has a lot of trust in us to lift this area. Honestly it's probably my favorite area. Members are amazing, love the pres. they are all excited we're here. There's a Wendy's and Pizza Hut and the area is MASSIVE! Love my companion soooo much! It's just great. So happy. Hope I'm here until Christmas. Love this work and I gave a talk yesterday and read my calling and talked about living an obedient life and being humble and I encourage all to be a little more humble this week and to obey God's simple commandments that maybe you're having trouble with.

This is ** and her fam!! They are evangelicas but just the greatest people ever in Guaimaca..hard to say bye.

Hardest goodbye I've ever had to say...she was crying and it just stunk leaving her. A couple days before I left I felt like I needed for her to write her testimony, so I got a Living Christ and she wrote her testimony and it's so amazing and so special. Real hard for me. But she is amazing.
