,
we have been visiting a new member and her kids. They are super poor and live in pretty rough conditions. The dad is gone all week earning money. They have a 6 week old baby that got really sick a couple weeks ago. She took him to the hospital and found out that he had pneumonia. They were there for 8 days and the medicine and treatments weren't doing anything. We called the Elders in Santa Rosa (where the hospital is) to go over there and give the baby a blessing. They did and the mom told us the next day the baby started improving and got a ton better over the next few days and they are home now. When the mom (Selena) was telling us this story she broke down into tears. She said that two other babies had died while they were there and she was really worried for her son. She said she didn't really have a testimony before but she can't deny Heavenly Father's help with her baby. It was really powerful. She came to church with her kids and I can tell that she really knows our Father's love.
I always thought that people exaggerated spiritual stories before my mission. I didn't really believe them most of the time, to be honest. I have been blessed to see miracles happen, I have heard stories from other missionaries about the miracles they have seen. I am so grateful for my opportunity to be out here and to do some good in the world.
Not a lot went on this week....
.....except ANOTHER RAT.
We get home and I am hungry, so I go to my closed cupboards to get some food. I open them and a flying thing of fur jumps out and hits me right where no man wants to be hit. So what do we do next? Grab cameras, buckets, gloves and get ready for another round of Honduran Pest Control! We literally guided the rat back into the bathroom and did the exact same thing.
This rat was a ninja though, it climbed ON TOP of the shower like 5 times and kept jumping off. The video shows the rest. Can't believe it happened again.
Video coming soon.
I didn't take pictures this week but here's some from my companion´s camera! Dallin
