Well I kinda wish I could call my fam and share what happened this week. It literally was up there, if not the highest, with the week in Hawaii, EFY, Going to the Temple, Lake Powell... it beats them all I think.
I'm sending my journal entry's so you can get a tiny glimpse of what happened and how we felt this week. Man in 10 months exactly I'll be home. That really sorta (forgive my language) sucks. This is the greatest thing that has ever happened in my life and I never want it to come to and end. So if my family really loves me, this Christmas they'll buy me a ticket to come back to Honduras to see the sealing of familia Munoz next year in Oct/Nov ish... That's the only thing I want. To see them sealed. I'm going to get a night job to pay for that stinking flight.
God lives, this is His church, if you want to leave your thumb-print in the lives of others, forget about yourself and your wants, get to work and serve someone else, and do it without being seen. Be yourself and don't care what others have to say.
I'm so thankful for a Heavenly Father, fasting, familia Medoza and all they do for us, leadership meeting, cake, exercise, the Atonement, the crazy rainy season, my idea of a tajaditas business that I'm going to do, Manual! and the coolest story ever!, that fam Munos is real, andddd for my black pen.

Today was so great. We had a 7 hour leadership mtg today and I am just inspired. To work my tail off. Not holding anything back. To use what I've learned in these 14 months and take it up a notch. Gotta see the notes for future. I love Pres. Ferman. He's fantastic. Also we got back late and it was pouring and I hadn't got a contact and I made that covenant so immediately I got that taxi contact.. ha! What else...saw all my boys today! They are doing great! I love this squad of leaders. Elder Duncan is totally gonna be A.P.

Freakin most amazing, spiritual thing happened today guys...God knows and loves every one of his children! His timing is tan perfect! So look. Talked and contacted a house by ours because just felt it. Good and positive guy. That was 2 days ago. Said we could come back tomorrow. Which was yesterday. And this is when we got back from Teguc. real late and it was raining hard. So we showed our faith, went out to teach them and they started letting us in and the power went out.. so we had to leave but the thing is it came back on 5 min. later when were just getting in and so we said we'd just go tomorrow. So today, we said we were gonna go a little earlier, but the practice went late and so we went and got there at 7:00. We walk in, see the guy and his wife and another older man. So start talking, older guy, out of the blue, "guesses" I'm from Utah and then we asked if he was a member and he paused, said he was baptized 17 years ago but left 11 years ago and continued to say how he received a sign from God and he continued saying how today, he prayed and just asked God for a sign. He said he didn't care which church it was, he just needed to get his life back on track...and said how he wasn't planning to visit his daughter today but felt like he should and then we got there!!! I was just dumb-founded. And he said from this day on, he was going to church. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. He bore his testimony to his daughter and son in law and his daughter had no idea he was a Mormon and they are all for it, for us to tech them and man... the power of fasting and God's timing. My testimony increased so much today. 100x.
Also we took fam Mendosa's dog in a taxi because it followed us all day long. hahaha
Amazing day.

Ah so you didn't think the week could be better huh? OK 1st, church! Family Muñoz came! And loved all of it! Taki and his mom came! After years!!!! The Hermana's from Sigua call us and tell us Manuel went to church!!! And he's gonna give us all the names of his kids because he wants all of them to be taught!! Freak I don't even know. Then in the night we had a lesson with fam Muñoz with the Poderoso familia/missionaries, Mendoza's and....*mic drops* let's just say the power of the restoration is real and incredible. They are getting baptized the 29th!!!! At the end of the lesson Hermano Juan Jose just said, "I feel so happy and feel so much peace. Thank you so much for coming to our home. But it was in a way so... tender and amazing! And then Hermana Evelya was so quick! She understood it all! Oh forgot! Manual even asked for an interview with the Bishop over in Sigua! Fist time in 11 years!!! Does anybody even understand that this has been the greatest day and week in my life? This church is true! And another thing, the 2 times I've fasted here (in this area) I've just fasted with all my heart to find families that will one day prepare to go into the Temple and that I might see them there as well in the Celestial Kingdom. It's been a different kind of fasting for me and I just know God is helping me out with this one. I'm so blessed to be a part of this grand work and one person really can change eternity for others. "To learn to dance, you have to hear the music."
