What’s up everyone!

Sorry this is a little late today,  we had a zone activity for p-day today and it was in a place called Mochito which is about an hour and a half away.  We went to this place called "Arca de Cristo" it was really cool.  Some Christian guy from the states put it here.  It is a replica of the tomb of Christ and a place where they have 3 crosses set up.  Then there is just a big open field, so we played some volleyball and of course we had to play some soccer and we fried some chicken there.  It was a neat place and really fun for the zone.  It also had a really good view of "Lago de Yojoa", the big lake in Honduras.  This week was good.  We had changes on Wednesday and I really like the new zone.  We have some good missionaries.  My new companion’s name is Elder Guzman.  He is a cool guy and is from Guatemala.  He only has 2 changes left so he´ll probably finish here.  He is 26 years old, the youngest in his family and just his mom and sister are members.  He speaks English well.  He has been a ZL for a while so he has great experience.  He is a great companion.  For our area, we have some good things going now.  One of our families is doing well and we put a date to get married for this weekend but that fell through.  The dad hasn´t been there lately and I guess he just has a really strong attitude and everything has to be his way.  So his wife told us that she will not marry him until he changes.  So we’re going to be working with him because they are really a great family.  But we were able to put a date with the another family.  We just need to keep working with them so that they understand the doctrine more.  They have the date to get married this next week on the 4th and baptized on the 5th but she didn´t go to church on Sunday so we´ll see what she says.  The biggest problem here is getting people to get married.  They always have the excuses like they need to get to know each other better, when they already have been together for like 20 years.  It´s kind of funny.  But this family said that they would get married the first time we talked about it.  It was pretty cool, so pray hard for them.  We had 10 at church on Sunday but most of them have some things in their life right now that they need to change.  So we just need to keep focusing on them.  Dad, you said that you were going to talk next week on the blessings of work.  I don’t know his name but he´s in the presidency of the 70.  He spoke to Central America members about that and the blessings that come financially when we are obedient and keep the commandments.  He used a lot of the scriptures that state: and if ye keep my commandments, ye shall prosper in the land.  Also, I agree and think that you should line Paige and Ben up.  Thanks for all of the emails and love and support.  It really means a lot and thanks for all the pics and emails Erika and KK.

I Miss and Love You All!!!!

Con Amor
