Hey Madre

This week was pretty good! we got a lot of things done! we are trying to work hard with the members and get the whole island excited for General Conference! We have been working hard with thee investigators that we have and trying to find some more! this island is so small! here's the recap!

TUE- Well today wasn't the best! the highlights were that we performed some service and bought our only deacon some nice shoes for school and church since they all use uniforms here. We also showed a primary sister how to do the Faith in God program! we ended the night with a super fun Family Home Evening at the Munoz house. With Dilia, Maria and Sonia and Fam! it was such a Mormon FHE! first time I've seen a real one in Honduras! 2 Nefi 26:30

WED- Well it was the day of changes! No surprise there. Just another day of errands. Fixing this doing that, buying this for this person. Nothing exciting at all! We did however get confronted by a Crack High/ Alcohol Drunk guy who said we were rich white racists coming and preaching about a God who invented sin, and is punishing everybody for Adams fall! PSYCHO! haha he was crazy but we just ignored him and kept on our way! he did mention one thing i agree with " how the h*** there gonna be one book and millions of religions from one d*** book!" haha stinking bible! Book of Mormon is so key to conversion! After having that guy talk to us like that it was hard to get the spirit back so the work was difficult but we managed! Mosiah 4:11

Thurs- Was AWESOME! After studying we headed to the dock where we got a box full of stuff from the church ( liahona's for the members, pamphlets for the temple in Tegucigalpa, ETC) then we also got Ruta. i didn't get a single letter but oh well. then we worked all day! We heard from Elida that President Monson was rated the worlds most powerful Grandpa haha! so true! I've been reading about Joseph F. (Iosepa) Smith! What a stud!

Fri- was a great day! when we visited the people to deliver their liahona's i learned i love puppies and I'm getting a dog when i come back! so get ready. Also, we watched the new mutual theme video and stuff! now is a good time to be a kid. I also ate some awesome cheesecake! so good! i missed that so much! but other then that nothing new! just hard work! mateo 19:29 Josue 24:15

SAT- Well we hardly got to work today! started off with an interview in the morning. Then i had another interview during mutual. When mutual was done we cleaned the church and had Juan Garcia come and fix the plumbing stuff cuz it was messed up. When we were done with that it was already 5pm! crazy! we worked all night trying to get some good numbers for a Saturday! we also watched a movie called on the Lords errand about President Monson! SO SICK! you need too see it. He was definitely called and chosen! 1 nefi 10:17-18

SUN- Wasn't the greatest day of the week! we left the house early to go and wake everyone up! we passed for people to make sure they were coming to church and we only had 36 show up for church! breaks my heart! none of our investigators came to church! We did have a good church meeting though! I just remember feeling at night the need to baptize! I need some investigators willing to change their lives! I feel so focused right now! and my only desire is eat well and WORK HARD! also, the put in the papers to open up Guanaja and i really want to go there! maybe if i can work hard enough here the Lord might need me over there. Especially with this experience I'm gaining as Branch President! i don't know though. Just got to work as hard as possible and do what the Lord wants and not what i want! the Lord will provide! Tenga fe! I love D&C 121! So beautiful! i also want my last month here in utila to be the best yet! my days here are truly numbered! March here I come!!! Mosiah 18:14-15

So that's the recap of this past week! check my picasa i out some new pics up there! I'm sorry to here about dad. he needs to obey my mission rules and avoid Caffeine! Stinker! Also, Rachel needs to slow down! there is a girl here just turned 10 and is almost as big as i am! she is huge! so tell her to take her vitamins and drink milk! haha But my comp and i are doing fine. I'm trying to help him get ready to take on the roll of Branch President and I'm trying to get more into the missionary ends of things as i prepare to head back to the mainland! hows Grandpa George? hows grandma Janell? i need their emails! Have a great week! did you ever get my letters from Christmas? i sent a couple.. anyways thanks for everything. I love you!
