How is it going?
Sorry for the short e-mail last week but we just didn´t have much time but the ruins were pretty cool and a lot bigger than what I thought so I’ll send you all of the those pictures. This week was a pretty good one. The Lopez family is really doing great but we’re still having a hard time teaching all of the men in that family. All of the women want to be baptized though. This last week Hermana Lopez, (she is the mom of everyone in the family) told us that she wants to be baptized. I guess that was kind of our fault for not setting a date with her to get baptized earlier. We were focusing too much on her daughter and trying to get her married. But her daughter Norma really wants to get married but she is pretty scared to do it and then there is another daughter that wants to get baptized and she is working things out with her husband right now so that they can get married. It´s been a cool process with them and seeing the desire that they have to follow Christ. This is what happens when people really do their part to know the truth and really are willing to do the will of God and do their part. As missionaries all we do really is provide them the knowledge and just teach them the doctrine and help them feel the spirit and the rest depends on them. This is a gospel of action and there are a lot of people here that are used to having everything done for them by their pastor. So it´s a little hard for them to understand that they have to do things but when they do them is when they can really have that change of heart. The other investigators that we have are doing alright but they still need to stop smoking, get married and some other things so we’re still working with them. We do have some other investigators but right now the members of this family are the ones that are progressing. The branch seems to be doing well too and people are starting to change. I think some big things will be happening here in Copán in the future. It´s just a district here now but I think in the next year or so it may be changed to a stake. We have a district conference in 2 weeks that they planned just 2 weeks ago. The 2nd counselor from the area presidency is coming here and he´s a member of the Seventy, so I think that they might be doing some big changes here now. The meeting will be a good experience. The mission is great and I love it.
Well, I hope that you are all doing just great. Thanks for everything that you all do. I Love and Miss You All!!!
