oooooooooooook so this week was a pretty awesome week! we were able to see the great family of Olivia and her kids baptized! she had only had three wanting to right now, but we are pretty excited to start working with the other 8 and her 7 sisters and her huband in these days! She is a great lady that has had a little bit of problems but not huge ones at all. She went to church, and they already had a calling ready for her to start working this week! the best part of the baptism is that this little girl (the first one) got super tired in the bus ride home and totally started snuggling up to my arm and conked out. it was super cute. Also this week we have been looking for a new house, because a new set of missionaries are going to help us out with this branch! they come on in next wednesday! So we have been getting the other half of our area ready for them. I have never been there before now cuz our area is HUGE. like 20 kilometers across, and we have so much work to get done next to where we live, we never have time to get to know over there but we kind of have to right now because this area will be opened to two other missionaries, and now we have to look for the house. BUT i am excited just because this work will grow this branch SO MUCH right now, because there is really way too much work to be done for just us two... Thats the update and the way we keep going up and up and doing what we do best! 

Ok so i am writing an email mostly full of how awesome my area is! so elder dean, my companion, and i are having some great times especially since the rainy season has started and we have been getting wet so many times this past week! Also we have been working withthis family; Olivia the mom, Yesi, Nelci, andLoani! We have been working with the Husband COnsepcion, but he has told us on many occasions that he isnt very interested because he never wants to quit his vicesof alcohol and smoking. we have tried to talk to him about these but he just stands up and leaves... WELL he has at least been listening when we have talked about other things, and he wants to support his wife and children at the baptism! We have also been working hard with a man, who i mentioned last week, where his wife went to church for the first time... Well he felland started drinking againand now she blames us. It really does hurt alot to see but at the same time it isnt anything we can do. She made the choice and he made the choice. We are still helping him alot and trying to find himwhen we can so he doesntdrink that day but its hard to talk to him when he gets so drunk that he is drunk for about 4 days completely straight. 

We cantreally let us get down at all on that, but we are trying hard and the members are really supportinghim!

So i havent sent pictures in so long... BUT me and my comp went to these Giant Waterfalls called las cataracas de Puhlapanzak, and these are a couple pictures, of where we decided to bring planking to Honduras, and just loved the time there!

SO the week of this time of the end of may. I am sorry to say that i didnt write on monday like normal because there wasnt any power so we worked on monday some to be able to write today! The week has been nuts as usual. We are working hard on a couple families that can be baptized in this month but the biggest thing was a little old lady named Caridad or Charity. Her husband was baptized over 2 months ago and was baptized but fell drunk right after. He has been clean for a month and his wife just randomly started listening and this past sunday went to church! it was amazing!It was the first time that she has taken anything seriously from the missionaries. BUT she has been slowly progressing and even told us as soon as she can get out of a commitment that she has with another church she wants to be baptized! It was a dang amazing time we had with her on Sunday just talking to her! We also had a nother activity planned but this one a little smaller and just for a certain colony, which almost fell through because of a HUGE rain storm , cuz ya know, rain here is HUGE and we almost gave up, but figured it out! We had only members there but we made it work to help people really get animated to help us here in this area! Man... Good week!

Ok so I got a nice CHange this past week into the area by my very first area of San Jorge, and im in a place called Dos Caminos which is two paths or two roads. Its a good area that i love, even though my branch president is NUTS! like super crazy. We are having some fun with trying crazy new things that havent been done. The part that i am loving is remembering how hard it was for me when i first got here, cuz i am now with a very Green Gringo from Utah, which isnt my kid(or im not training him) but i am his second comp. He is a funny kid, and makes me appreciate more the greatness of this country. Also i am busting out some good spanish! I mean its weird to think that i kind of spek good spanish, but i am trusted to be teaching someone else spanish so... we will see how that goes! This past week we were just trying to get new ways to have people to feel the spirit stronger in our lessons and come to church just to see. this week we saw 10 new people who have never gone! it was great!

just to make you all know what i eat and can now MAKE!

since we only had an hour to write on monday, we had some extra time today (by mandate of our mission president) and guess what! i got changed! i am actually super close to the area where i started the mission in and now i have more responibility as a district leader! i have a new companion from utah, Elder Dean! Its great and i love you all!

this week i only have half an hour to write but i will probably have another hour on wednesday. we have been rocking it together here, me and my companion elder passey, and i love how awesome this place is! i talked to my fam yesterday... uh... an AMAZING family we have been teaching was able to make it to church yesterday which was amazing, and im so excited to see them really starting to accept the gospel!

well this week has been pretty amazing, but im putting a bit in spanish so my dad HAS to read it and translate it for my mom! the rest, find a spanish speaking friend. ok entonces esta semana pasó tan rapido, que no estoy seguro que hoy es lunes or no. yo creo que es una mentira... PERO lo mejor parte es que tuvimos una semana deficil pero nunca dejamos de trabajar. como es siempre facil a decir "pues... estoy cansado, y nadie nos quiere..." ok en esta semana tuvimos la oportunidad a prestar mucho servicio en las calles porque el tiempo de la lluvia esta empesando ahora, y nadie estaban listo para tener lo, entonces estabamos limpiando casas, y caminando en la lluvia. lo peor es que la lluvia era tan fuerte una noche que se fue la luz y no había los ventaladores, y... nos morimos...  es importante que tengamos una ventalidor porque hace un POCO calor aca, y es bien humido... Esta semana era un poco defícil porque me lastimé la pie, y necesitaba caminar bastante. no sé que hice pero me duele. y tambien nadie llegó a la iglesia este domingo. como los personas en que estamos enfocados. estamops encontrando, y es defícil que nadie quiere ententar a entender... pero Dios nos ama, y fácilmente, tuvimos animo y trabajabamos por medio de todo, y estamos animados hacer la obra del señor!
