Well, how are you my good family?

Things have been good and we had some good changes here in Villanueva.  Elder Guzman got a change and was sent to Utila, pretty lucky!  We have a lot of great missionaries here in the zone.  We have 3 news, 2 sisters and 1 elder.  I was hopeing that Elder Hafen was going to be my new comp but he got send to La Ceiba.  My comp is Elder Diego from El Salvador.  He's a cool little guy and we get along.  We came together to Honduras but I have more time because I had 2 months in the MTC and he only had 3 weeks here in the MTC.  His famly are converts but he was baptized when he was 8 because that's when the missionaries found them.  We’re still getting to know each other but he's a cool guy and I really like him and he likes to work.  We did a lot of good work this week and found some good new investigators.  We were super sad this week because hermano Ponce didn't get baptized. All week he was saying that he was going to do it then the day before he told us no and he doesn't have any reasons at all, he made us pretty sad but he has his agency.  He said he'll do it in a month so we'll see what happens. But we were blessed on Sunday. We had 3 families come to church. The Pineda family, they weren't really progressing much but this Sunday they looked like they had had a change of heart and seemed a lot different; then a new, young family that we found and another one that we have been working with who seem really positive.  We have a baptism date with Maria and her son for the 16^th of this month. She finally understood that she needs a baptism with the proper authority and we should be able to have a few more this month if we keep working hard. This area has probably been one the hardest for me.  In my other areas the baptisms have always come and have been successful areas but this one has been a fight for me but I know that my comp and I just need to keep on working hard and Lord will bless us.  We are getting to know all the members and we’re going to work with them a lot more so that we can have more help in here. Yesterday all we did was visit members so that we can have the confidence of them all. Without them this work can't progress to its full potential.  Not much else happened this week with changes and sorry there are no recordings because I forgot the cable to connect the recorder so until next week.

Thanks for everything, I Miss and Love you All!!!!!!!!

PS (for the friends letter) – Wow, how the time sure does fly. It is crazy to think that all of us are on the downhill side of our missions. It was great getting the letter from you all last time, I always enjoy reading them and seeing how much everyone of us has changed and how the gospel blesses all the people around the world.  It's amazing to think about how this same gospel blesses all sorts of people and that it doesn't matter where they’re from, what beliefs they used to have, or what kind of customs they have; this gospel is always the answer.  Elders, enjoy your missions and give it all you’ve got.  Always remember what your purpose is and who you are serving. 

DO THE WORK!

Les quiero mucho
