ALRIGHT!!! so this email is making up for the lack of email that i had last week. Just didnt... feel up to it and sorry about that XD
Ok so this week has been alot of fun! we have been really focusing on finding people that before had been to church, but because of whatever reason had stopped going. The best part of the people, is they have been very eager to start learning again. We have found some people, also that have been alot of difficulties.
One of these men, has been a faithful member for about 5 months. He fell and drank again this past thursday. we eat every sunday with him on sundays and his family so we had the great chance to help him out. he didnt want to talk much about what had happened, but his wife told us, and after he told us everything. he didnt tell us because he felt awful for drinking, but we started talking to him, and reading some scriptures. we focused ourselfs in on the missionary manual Preach my Gospel, and he got so excited to know that its normal to fall, and there are ways he can be free of his addiction. In the book there is a huge chunk talking about people falling, and that through time and love, they can get over it and be completely over it. heal. I had only seen him so excited when i told him i was the same futbol team as him, which here in HOnduras is HUGE. And ya, he was super eager to try again with the knowledge that he might fall again, yet he was happy to know it wasnt the end.
Other news, is that here in my branch, we have been working with two sets of missionaries and we are going to be very excited to get this work done. we have been sharing the gospel with so many people, especially those that have fallen, and are wanting to just try again. Its the message of my week i have seen. It doesnt matter how many times we fall, but how many times we dont lift ourselves up. God loves us, and he is our Father. He doesnt want to lose ANY of us.
I might not be too happy with the heat or other things here in honduras, but i am never sad that i decided to serve God with everything for two years. vale la pena, ¿ey?
Esta es la Iglesia verdadera. Tenemos la autoridad. Lo recibimos de Dios él mismo.
