Hey how is it going?
This week has been good - but a long one.  I had to go to Aguan and work there from Sunday to Thursday. Trujillo is definitely a better area - haha.  No, but it was good working there.  I really do like working with other missionaries because you can always learn something new from them. But I did get my new comp this week and he is awesome.  His name is Elder Ordoñez.  He is from Tegucigalpa, Honduras and has been out about 8 months in the mission.  He has one younger brother and an older sister who will be getting married in January.  He speaks English pretty well. He can at least say what he needs to.  He´ll be a really good companion.  He likes to work and is always really excited.  We’re going to have a lot of success in this change.  Hopefully that answered all of the usual questions you have about my new companions.  This last week, for the few days that we had working together, we had some good success and ended up having 10 investigators at the district conference here in Tocoa, and about146 people in total.  The conference was really good.  President Veirs and Elder Castro were there so it was good to see them both.  We have 4 fetchas for this weekend.  We have Precede and Pastora.  Precede is awesome; she has a really strong testimony of the Book of Mormon and really just understands everything. Pastora is her sister and is a little mentally handicapped but still seems to understand everything and can talk but is just a little slower.  Then we have Melbin who is the son of Gloria who just got baptized about a month ago.  He is cool little guy.  I think that he is about 9 and is super smart.  Then we also have a girl named Yandira.  She is from Gracias Adios but lives with members here for now.  About a month ago my comp and I gave her a Book of Mormon.  She always came to church but we just didn’t think about teaching her because we knew that she was going to be leaving soon but this last week we passed by with my new comp.  I asked if she had read some of the book and she had and said she knew it was true.  So we challenged her to be baptized.  She is really cool and she will be studying in Tocoa this next year so she will be able to go to church there.  There isn’t a LDS church in Gracia Adios.  We also have Familia Sofia and Gloria for this month but they just need to do a few more things to be prepared so keep them in your prayers.
Well, thanks for everything.
I Love You All!!!
