So, some quick updates:
We have done quite a lot of finding
new people, especially families to teach. Specifically, we have the Rapalo
family. They are a sweet older couple who are very interested in learning more
about the gospel. They came to church yesterday and really enjoyed it. Turns
out that La Jutosa was on FIRE with all the testimonies that were shared! We
had pretty much the whole congregation share their testimony and I really think
it helped out our recent converts and investigators that were present. They
mentioned how they wanted to come back next week as well!
We spent a lot of time on this
mountain last week. There are a lot of people, and some are actually quite
interested! Oscar Sorto invited us to his house out in the mountains, and we
showed up...but it was a little late. When we left...well...it was already
dark! The sun had gone down, and we had to trek the mountain path in the dark.
It was all in good taste...nothing bad happened, nor did we get hurt. We just
enjoyed the time to get to know each other better in the dark! A pretty
interesting experience, haha.
Also, Kevin, the guy who is living
with an investigator, all of a sudden showed up one day, and we spent a good
hour talking with him. He is actually super interested, but just a busy guy. He
really liked the Book of Mormon and the idea of getting married to Gabby, so we
shall see what happens there!
It also rained a lot this week and we
had to fight against a HUGE party that happened out here. It was just
ridiculous! Out here in this country-bumpkin place they brought a giant Ferris
wheel, mini roller coasters, food stands of all kinds, giant dance floors,
bands from San Pedro Sula...it was RIDICULOUS! It also was happening quite far
from our house and we could still hear all of it.
Anyway...I feel bad for cutting out
so short and so unorganized, but we gotta get going! So, I wish you all all my
love and everything! Have a good week!
