As for us, it has been a pretty
interesting week. A lot of the members here live out in the pueblitos of Copan
Ruinas, so we end up having to climb a lot of mountains. It truly takes the
breath away to see the landscape. Before I forget, http://www.amazon.com/Another-Testament-Reflections-Mark-Mabry/dp/1606411608
is a cool book that shows a lot of pictures of when Christ came here to the
Americas. I know a lot of the people that appear there, because they live here
in Copan and come to church. Pretty awesome!
We spent a lot of time teaching this
week, we have a bit of a task ahead of us to find investigators. But, we found
some good people and we had some great lessons with them as well. Truly we are
trying to focus ourselves on the main town of Copan Ruinas instead of going too
much out to the pueblos.
By far the most memorable day of the
week was yesterday, we only went to Sacrament meeting and then we left to go to
a funeral. A lady from our branch died, and we left to go to the service. Well,
we got there and the grave wasn´t fully dug, so I jumped down and started
digging the hole deeper with the pickax and shovel, and then we have to carry
the coffin on our shoulders, because it didn´t have handles on the sides. Kind
of...heavy...and uncomfortable. But, you know, we enjoyed the moment to share
with the brothers of the branch.
I don´t have much more time...but I
also can´t think of other outstanding things that happened. We are teaching
English here and it is turning out a great success. That and my companion loves
to learn. He is a fireball, but we are great friends.
Anyway, love you all! I promise to
write more next week!
Vaya Pues,
Elder Tinkham
