My life is too boring to write long letters, there´s nothing much to say...
Yes,
your spanish was right (well, minus an accent, but it´s a lot harder if
you don´t have a spanish keyboard). I wrote my last weeks email to
mishelae all in spanish, and she must not have liked that, because she
didn´t respond yet. :)
BTW, Happy birthday, since I forgot to wish you a happy birthday last week...
Umm, nothing too exciting has happened recently. Just normal missionary work stuffs.
This
week its been really cold, colder than I´ve ever been in Honduras. We
worked in our suits on Friday, and in long sleeves Saturday and
yesterday. I have also had a little cold too, so that might add to it
being even more cold to me. I need to buy a blanket soon, because all I
have is a sheet to cover me when I sleep, which normally works, but this
week, not so well, but I have been sleeping with both of my hoodies,
sweatpants, and long socks.
This week has been good though. We had interviews with the mission
president, and that went well, we did an activity at the church on
saturday to have the members bring their non member friends to watch a
video and have a lesson, but nobody brought anybody, and none of our
investigators came either. But still a lot of members came, and so we
switched the lesson plan up and decided to teach the members about
missionary work and their responsibility to find people to share the
gospel with and watched some videos and had a little lesson on that, so
it turned out good. Also, after that activity, they brought pizza, which
is weird for Honduras, normally they don´t have refreshments or
anything that big to serve for ward activities.
Also, Saturday morning, Elder Evans and I went to do a service
project for an elderly lady in our ward to help her move some things.
About a week ago, we helped her move like 3 couches out of her house,
and into a new house that her daughter who was living with her built
right above here, and it was really tricky to get the couches out
because we had to go up this beat up, moldy staircase, and we couldn´t
fit the couch through the gate, so we had to pull the couch over their
pila (the washing tub and washing board) and get the couches in the
other house. But anyways, this saturday, she wanted us to take these big
bags of gravel, that each weighed between 200 and 300 lbs down the
stairs to put into her house. We couldn´t carry them down the stairs, so
we lifted each bag up one by one, it took both of us to lift each bag,
and then we would take it to the top of the stairs, and then we took a
long board of wood to make a ramp to slide down each bag, so it ended up
being easier than we thought that it would be.
Other than that, nothing much else...
We´ve dropped some
investigators this week, a couple of families that weren´t progresing,
so that was a little bit disappointing, but we´ve had a lot more people
to teach too. We are working with a few people who look positive, and
hopefully we will be having some baptisms soon.
That´s all that I can think of right now.
Love,
Elder Ward
