And the days and weeks in Honduras are flying by!

Happy Valentines Day to Everyone!

Wow, as usual this week has flown by.  We are doing great.  We are continuing to work with several families and are finding new people to work with every day.  As is a common challenge here in Honduras, we are working to get people married.  It is very expensive, and legal papers have to be obtained.  But, with faith, we can do this!
We had a great experience this week.  We were visiting with one of our families, and they had a guest at their home that we had not met before.  As we were visiting with her, she told us that she had previously had a boss that had been a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  He had simply explained to her of his beliefs and of the teaching of the Church.  She could see by his every-day actions that he lived by his beliefs.  We were able to challenge her to pray about our message to know of it truthfulness.  She answered us by saying "I already know it is true."  This she felt from the example of her boss and the way he lived his life following the Savior.
We all have the opportunity to be like this boss - to be an example of the Savior in our lives everyday.

"If the Lord can do GREAT THINGS with a single loaf, imagine what he can do with a single life".

The other night after a lesson, we were walking up the mountain to visit the last family of the night.  It had been a good day - nothing extreme, but we had worked hard all day.  I remember reaching the top of the hill and it was such a clear night.  I looked up at the stars.  I have always loved to watch the stars.  I was honestly just amazed at how beautiful it was. Clear and beautiful.  I had the biggest feeling of awe.  Of amazement honestly.  Of comfort.  Of assurety that God exists and that he cares for and loves each one of us.
Also, have you ever thought about what Christ was thinking when he was on this earth among his creations?  He was breathing the air He had created, hearing the birds chirping that He had created, helping and healing the very beings He had created.  Pretty amazing to think about.
As missionaries we think about and discuss some pretty amazing things!
Another great day in Honduras!





Great Missionaries and Friends!

This Week was Great!

This week was great!  As all missionaries say, and I agree "I really don't want to have changes." Even though we have to seriously start searching for more people to teach, we have a ton of work to do here, so I don't want to leave.  I love this area.  It has been my favorite.  I will remember this place forever and how incredible it is here.  I have met some incredible people here. I have had a great companion who I appreciate so much.  I have loved seeing the progress of the people I was privileged to be with here and see baptized.  It has been so awesome.  You can see the difference - literally - after they receive the Spirit.  The way they talk and understand and are guided in their lives.  How they are comforted and taught by the Spirit.  It is amazing and I have grown in my appreciation for this great gift that I received so long ago.
So K got baptized!! I don't have pictures to share yet but next week I will send them through.  K was so nervous that she had to be baptized three times so that she was completely immersed.  It was kind of funny, but she is so happy and doing well.
So, we as missionaries are starting to teach a Preach My Gospel class here as well.  It is so cool.  It's a fun class to teach.  Right now we are teaching future missionaries, so I am getting a taste of what you do Mom. You learn so much by teaching. I love it.
Things are awesome and E is doing well. 
We just received a call from a member who needs an urgent blessing so I have got to run.  Sorry family.  I will write more next week.  I won't have enough time to get back on, but will finish my letter next week. Again, we are just working hard and had a wonderful baptism.
Remember to read your scriptures and pray!



We use lots of mosquito spray here!
