SO this week was pretty awesome! I first want to start about talking about what happened yesterday. We had a stake conference here in our area where they actually called a new stake president. It was amazing BECAUSE Elder Martino of the 70 came and gave an amazing talk! He focused on the ex missionaries here in Honduras on how they better be 1) married 2) have a calling 3) trying to help these missionaries here. He also really talked about if we want blessings we CANNOT just sit around. we need to work for them, and search for them! this is reading the scriptures for answers, looking for jobs to be blessed with one and working hard and paying tithing to get out of poverty. He also just hit hard on if you arent married its cuz you arent looking hard enough. Alot of the men in our brach got really quiet after that one... BUT it was a great conference with the spirit. We left our area at 6:30 in the morning, by bus and got back around 11. We hd a couple of really great investigators come! We have this girl who is the captain of her soccer team, who had a game at 8 and they were playing till six that night. She went on sunday because she knew she had to cuz it was a commandment to go to church. THAT was cool to see. and we had some guys who are pretty tough men really be touched by the spirit... It was great to see how much this was a help to these people for answers! BUT we worked hard this week... We tried to bring everyone and their mothers and we just had problem after problem... We Had a family who had their rent upped by almost 1000 limps over night and if they didnt move in 2 days they would need to pay the HUGE rent for a tiny room or be put in jail. Ya the whole renters rights thing? doesnt exist here. But we got them moved and everything in time and they have a place thats actually better for them! They live super close to a family thats members that are helping them out right now. I also saw my first snake. It was being DEMOLISHED by two men with shovels. That made me a little happy. BUT me and elder ward started a game. sapo punting! just look up the word sapo... well there are a TON everywhere and they are getting annoying cuz we stop on them and trip over them so... we kick them... only when nobody is looking but ya... probably shouldnt have told you that... BUT this wednesday? im burning a tie. HAPPY SIX MONTHS OF BEING ALIVE ADELAIDE!!!!

  1. Yeah, probably shouldn't have told us that. On a side note, does anyone know why he has replaced the common period with the ... Just a little odd. And what in the world does XD stand for?

    Love you Elder Tim!
