HEEY!
Hey there everyone, hope you all had a great week!
So on Wednesday we had transfers and I got to my new area here in Puerto Cortes!
The best part is that we had to do some office work up here so I was able to drive the new 2016 Mitsubishi L200 out and drop off all of my stuff and myself right at my new house! I got to skip all the bus business! haha I loved the office and everything but man, i am totally ready to hit the ground running again!
It has been raining a TON here! So much that I got a bit of a cold from my cold little feet on the second day. I went and bought rain boots and we proselyte in those now! My companion is Elder Herrera from Guatemala (my third guatemalan companion!) He is super awesome! I lucked out and he is super obedient and we have a lot of plans for this area. His last companion finished his mission last change and lets just say there wasn't a bunch of motivation to work those last couple of weeks. SO, we have been contacting people all week! It's been really good. We have found several new people and are enjoying ourselves. I feel really good about this area and companion! It's gonna rock!
This week we did several service projects. One day we wheel barreled a bunch of pieces of cement to somebodies backyard that flooded and they wanted to fill it up with the pieces (I am not totally sure why, but hey, we did it anyway!) Later that day before leaving the house, I asked during our prayer for another opportunity to serve someone during the day. We found a family that was moving in from Tegucigalpa and helped them move their couches and fridge and stuff to the second floor of their house! It was cool to have my prayer answered like that.
Something cool about this area is that there is another language! It is called Garifuna and it is spoken by some costal tribes. I am looking for a book to try and learn a bit! I think it would be super cool! (my email title is Garfuna for Iguana!)
We had some great lessons this week and it was just a good week!
I want to share something that our president shared with us this week!
“Be strong. Live the gospel faithfully even if others around you don’t live it at all. . . “with … steadfastness in Christ, … a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men.” In courageously pursuing such a course, you will forge unshakable faith, you will find safety against ill winds that blow, even shafts in the whirlwind, and you will feel the rock-like strength of our Redeemer, upon whom if you build your unflagging discipleship, you cannot fall.”
It is a super good quote! I am trying to apply it into my life.
Sorry I couldn't reply too much again. Ran out of time cause we are moving houses soon.
Have a happy week everyone!
