I
tried to be creative and think of things that sound like shows that my mom used
to watch. I know that House Hunters was one...but the rest, well, not so much.
But basically explains how and what I did this week!
So once again I was
out house hunting. The house for the sisters didn´t work out. Thus, I had to go
and walk around in the hot beach-side sun looking for a relatively cheap and
well-located house for the sisters to live. I really hope that they appreciate this
place...because it really has taken a lot to find it. But I have gotten to know
the touristic city of Tela SUPER well thanks to all these adventures, perhaps
the best I could, not having it as my area! How interesting. Thus, I am now an
official and expert house hunter and I’m very tough at haggling down prices and
getting owners to fix things before moving in.
Also, we have been
traveling all around the stake in which we serve. We are giving Ward Counsel
Training to all the leaders based on the new videos that are out on the LDS
website to train us. They are gems! I really have learned a lot and I am pretty
excited to be able to work and serve in a Ward Counsel upon returning home. But
I have gotten to know many people and places thanks to the journey!
Also, I had a meeting
with President Klein and my companion in San Pedro Sula. Now, this was a great
blessing! San Pedro is now outside of my mission, and so we were blessed to be
able to leave and revel in the glories of San Pedro Sula! I bought myself a
hammock and the what not to enjoy when I return! I have been wanting one awhile
now! But it was a great meeting! I dunno if it is just having a new president, President
Klein’s character, or being a leader...but we have been able to have many great
spiritual and edifying meetings with him. I am really starting to realize just
how inspired he really is! Sure, it is a lot different than having been with
President Veirs, but hey! I am enjoying every moment of it!
We also brought about
a stake service activity. But...sadly the stake didn´t support it so well. My
companion and I worked hard on it and got the wards to announce and everything,
but it just didn´t really happen. We had about 30 people there, which was quite
sad for a whole stake. But, we accomplished the purpose which was an effort
against Dengue, a virus transferred by mosquitoes. It was great! I was happy to
work alongside many fellow members with our Manos Mormones que Ayudan.
So hence were my
adventures of this week! Thus I am not too far off nor too crazy with summing
up the adventures of the week! And I hope that each and every one of you has
had an equal week and will have an amazing week this week!
Vaya Pues!
