Hola! Como estan?
Things have been busy here.  It's a little bit different type of work here though. We have a few progressing investigators and we’re working a lot with the members. The hard part here is finding more investigators.  We teach a lot of first lessons to people here.  Almost with every contact we can set an appointment with them. They’re always way interested in our message, well not all. There are a lot of rumors on the island about the "Mormon" Church, about Joseph Smith, The Book of Mormon, and just our church in general, but nobody studies the things out that they hear, they just think that they’re true.  But for the ones that are interested, it's rare that they are willing to change, because of things like drugs, fornication, marrige (marrige is a scary word here in Honduras).  But we found a really cool guy this week that I really think is ready to change. His name in Minor and he is a 19 year old black guy.  I thought he was like 30 because it seems like everyone looks really old for their age here.  But we taught him and asked him if he was willing to change and he said yes and we challenged him to be baptized and he accepted. They’re always a little afraid to accept the date to get baptized, but he still did.  It's kind of funny - he just walked into the internet cafe and is sitting right next to me now -haha.
Then also today we were going to go do wash and Clevland was outside.  He hasn't been doing too well this week with the smoking and he didn't go to church.  He came up and told us to come over tonight because he wants a blessing, and said he had a dream last night.  He didn't tell us what it was about yet but will tonight.  But I know he is ready to change now, and he knows he has to do it.  The Lord works in different ways.  The ZL's came to the island today and they’re going to be here for a few days. (Elder Jones and Elder Miligan).  We went out to Pumpkin Hill and then to that old hotel building.  It's been fun and I'm excited to work with them.  Sorry this is short but there was a huge line that we had to wait in and we need to go shower.
Thanks so much for all of your love and support.
I Love You All!!!
