Hay que escivar los baches vos... Dallin Poulson 7/30/2016


Hey there guys and gals,

This week was another weird one, that´s for sure! Due to some interesting events I had to go BACK to Santa Rosa de Copan for a different missionaries bags and stuff. All in all, that day and the next I logged over 14 hours driving time running stuff and people around the mission! 6+ of which i was dodging potholes and semi-truck! Talk about tired! But we stayed the night in Santa Rosa, and ooooh boy it is nice and cool weather there. While we waited for the Elders there to finish their day we decided to go contact some neighborhoods to maybe help the missionaries out here. The people in Copan are so much more receptive than those of the city! haha It was a great time, really!

As far as investigators go we had a lesson on Lehi's dream on Wednesday with Maribel. She loved it! But she definitely has other doubts. So we're gonna keep on helping her!

Elder Correa, our immigration secretary was ordered from the doctor to stay in bed for 5 days due to something with his legs and veins. So we have been taking turns staying at home with him. On Thursday after lunch it was my turn and I decided to de-junk the house we live in. I cleaned for a good 8 hours straight. I called the guy that machetes our lawn and we made a deal that he would do our lawn for free next time ($40) for a bunch of broken fridges and bed frames! I organized our living room and the house has a whole new feel now. I got rid of  SO MUCH STUFF. Yesterday I also stayed and kept going. I cleaned refrigerators (stuff that expired years ago) and threw out  a ton of old broken things that were in the house. (Fans and house phones and junk). This morning a family with a horse and wagon came by and we flagged them down and they took it all. They collect trash and look through it for good stuff to recycle.

 Anyways, point of the story is that the house we are in now is a house of order! D&C 109:8
 Organize yourselves; prepare every needful thing, and establish a house, even a house of prayer, a house of fasting, a house of faith, a house of learning, a house of glory, a house of order, a house of God;

 Last night it rained and the power went out. It was still really hot so we decided to have a slumber party downstairs where it was a bit cooler. Woke up to a bunch of light and noise when the power came on at 2am but at least we could use fans!

And for pday we are just chilling today, I may or may not have bought a ukulele to try and learn some hymns. 

Bubbye now,
