yes, the missionaries that got in an accident were serving in
Yuscaran. I didn´t know the Elder who passed
away well, but the other Elder was in my ward 2 weeks ago
(there are 2 sets of missionaries in the ward I´m in) and had just
gotten transfered to Yuscarán recently. He did return home to
recieve further medical treatment. It´s sad, and everyone has been talking about it for the
last little while. I´m surprized that the news got all the way up to
you guys.
We had another baptism this week, which we weren´t
expecting at all. She came to church for the first time in awhile with
her sister and mom (who are recent converts from last month), but she
didn´t say anything to us. We went to her house Wednesday in the morning
to teach her a little, because we hadn´t taught her for a long time,
but she had already heard all the missionary lessons. She said that the
only reason that she hadn´t been baptized was that she used to work on
Sundays, but that she had just barely been able to change her schedule
to not work on Sundays. We told her that that meant that she could get
baptized as soon as she wanted, and then she said that she wanted to get
baptized this saturday, so we got everything ready and she got
baptized. It was a small miracle that we saw.
We also went yesterday to visit our recent converts with the
Bishop. He´s given us a lot of support and it was good to see that he
will help these people that we´ve baptized so that they stay active,
because that´s often a problem here in Honduras is that missionaries
baptize a lot, but the converts don´t stay active because there´s no
support. Our Bishop is really helpful to us.
We´ve stayed busy, just like always here, and we´ve got plenty more
to do, but we´re going to focus on finding new investigators because
it´s hard with a lot of the people that we´re teaching right now for
them to progress and get baptized.
Well, things are still going well here.
Love you all!
Love,
Elder Ward
