PULHAPANZAK Dallin Poulson 5/16/2016

Yes, I do realize that it looks like I just smashed my head on the keyboard for a subject line! But I promise it's a word!

Had a great week this week! It was Familly Week for the LDS church in the Central American area.

I had divisions this week with my district leader. He taught me how to talk to EVERYONE. Literally throwing little handout cards at people. While not the most promising of contacts, we sure do get a lot more opportunities that way. 
On Wednesday we had a super fun activity! We made an airplane out of sheets and a portable whiteboard. (pícs to come)

My companion and I dressed up as pilots and accidentally crashed the airplane. WIth the help of other members, we took the people to the three different kingdoms that people go to after resurrection. We had a room that was super dark for the Telestial kingdom, complete with howling kids wearing trash bags! We had a Terrestrial room and also a Celestial room with a lesson in each room. It was super awesome! Shame that none of our investigators made it though.

The next day we had a talent show at the church. It consisted of 3 skits from the members and us missionaries. I have a video which I may upload at some point! It was a super good time. 

On Saturday we went to an english class offered at a local school and helped the students practice their English! It was super fun but to be honest, I think my english suffers a bit now! Now I can't speak either language that well!! haha

We've got some good investigators that we are teaching but none of them are going to church! We're really making some progress with two families. They have started to read the Book of Mormon instead of saying they will! 
Had some really great lessons this week, where people are starting to really get it. 
Understanding is definitely the biggest struggle we have out here so I am happy.
My companion and I got super pumped to focus on finding families to teach so  I´ll let you know how that goes.

I was able to baptize Erick Inestrosa this week! Super nice 14 year old boy who is a baptism of the sister missionaries in our ward. He has had a super rough life and he is so happy about his decision! 

We just went to see a super big waterfall called Pulhapanzak! Really pretty! There are caves behind it but it costs a ton to go to them! 
Here´s some pictures! 

¡Adios! Dallin
