Hike to the Coca-Cola sign
Elder Kapple and Elder Nelson receiving packages from home.
Wow - what a change and what a different area. I’m a little disappointed that you all already knew thanks to Pres. Veirs – haha, - no, but it is really different. From the small and dusty streets of Pineda, to the huge and busy area in San Pedro Sula. The area is called Los Castanos. I do not know what that means though. But it is huge, we have like 20 colonys and the people are so different. There are a lot of rich people in this area too. We only had 86 people at church yesterday and the church is really small. The members are a lot different here too. I really liked the members that we had in Pineda so I think we’re going to try to do some different things to get the members more involved in the work. If you have any ideas let me know. Dad, I just looked at that Google map you sent and our area is way from there. That map is like where the mission office is and our stake center but we are up from there on the map. I still really don’t have any idea of where because I’m still way lost and have only been to a little bit of my area. But I’ll let you know more next time. My comp., Elder Barrientos is way tight and really chill. He's the district leader and from Guatemala and wants to learn English. He can say a few sentences but that’s about it. He has one brother and one died while he was in the mission but he hasn't said much to me about this. He has 16 months in the mission. I really like him. We had a baptism on Saturday. A man about 45ish and his family member. It’s not his son but it might as well be. He turns 12 this week. This guy is awesome and quit smoking to do it. I talk more about him in the recordings. My comp only has one change here and only had 1 baptism during that change. Before that there wasn't a baptism here for like 5 months so this area is really hard but we’re hoping to change that. Today has been pretty cool. We came to the stake center to email. Then today we hiked up to the Coco Cola sign that is here in San Pedro. It's like the Hollywood one. I’m sure there is a photo on Google Earth. Then after that my zone leader, Elder Anderson and I went to the top of the moutain where there is some antenna. It was fun but I am super tired and we’re still going to play some soccer I think. Other than that, not much happened. Just the changes and everything.
I got the package with the books, treats sent with the Castro’s which also included the e-mail copies from Elder Ben Buck. Thanks for those. Dad, I wanted that book because one Elder in La Lima was talking about it and it sounded cool and I could study Gospel things better and faster with it. But I don’t know much about the area and how you can find my area on Google Earth but I’ll let you know. We live in the colony Rio Blanco.
Thanks for everything. I’ll check my email again in like a hour i think. It depends how long we play soccer.
I Love You All!!!
Con Amor Elder Kapple
