SO in this great area we have been having some problems with the internet, so i wont have much time, but i am writing to say, i love it here! so right now its still hot, still humid jst getting hit some times with rain storms. This week was a fun week despite our lack of people letting us in... We had a very unusual amount of people closing doors and saying no thank you, it happens and we arent disanimated.

This past tuesday was pretty amazing. we had all of our appointments and back ups fall through until around 4, so we had to start contacting... while we were walking down the street we felt to go down a certain street and talk to a pulperia (a small in house store.) the reason that is important, is that pulperias are the hardest people to get to listen to you because the store is literally in the house and people are always coming and going, and sundays are the BEST days to sell, so to tell someone we dont believe in working on sundays, they almost always say no way can they continue. But we felt a huge draw to this house. It was amazing because a member who has been having troubles with depression was there helping her friend, the owner, who also is suffering depression. we are excited to be there because we felt the spirit, and maybe we can truly help her. She has recently lost her mom, who is the 5th of her relatives in ten years. I know that this message can at least bring some peace to her. I know we were guided there.

o this week rocked. It finished off with an amazing General Conference!

What were some of your favorite parts? I very thouroughly enjoyed the talk by President UChdorft (?) saturday morning.

Also i am now with an awesome elder from Salt LAke CIty very close to where Tim grew supposedly. his name is ELder Fetzer. one of 11... WHAT??? no like 11 kids, plus the inlaws and the huge amounts of neice and nephews, and the parents.... A big family XD

Ok, so this week has been alot of fun! We didnt have very mush success, and we arent sure why. This week the people didnt go to church but a bunch were confused and though this week was general conference. BUT it wasnt...

 We are working hard right now to help everyone be aware though for this weekend because we are lucky to be able to help all these people who live so far away from the church be able to come in bus! we are super excited because it is GENERAL CONFERENCE! 

More than that, one of us has transfers but we arent sure who... We have been working hard and getting closer as companions. Its stioll been tough because he has been having a hard time adapting and we hope that a new companion will be able to help more then i was able. I will miss him walking by my side, and by far this has been the fastest change in my whole mission... I dont know where it went but i am excited to keep growing and keep learning.

my leader found a dead lizard and since he is from honduras he decided to eat it! that is a joke but it was fun all the same.

well we were super sweaty and super tired afterword but we enjoyed it all alot. we got destroyed by the sun, and yet ended with smiles... mostly

aaaaaaaand the last...

so this time has been so amazing serving here in Honduras. the heat is killing me, but its awesome! SO i am super excited right now though because our area is a little way from the church and everyone has some hard times getting to the meetings, but our ward has been working hard on being able to rent a bus to help all the members and investigators make it to general conference which i cant believe is here in TWO WEEKS!! im excited because of the amazing chance i will be having...

Well this week has been amazing because i have been seeing a bunch of old friends that i have known from different areas, and they have been so excited to tell us about how they are still going or how they got baptized or how someone else has been. the best part is feeling like alma did in alma 17:1

I "did rejoice exceedingly to see my brethren; and what added more to my joy, they were still my brethren in the Lord; yea, and they had waxed strong in the knowledge of the truth; for they were men of a sound understanding and they had searched the scriptures diligently, that they might know the word of God."

Also me and my companion are getting along alot better. he had been having a really hard time adjusting to the mission but has been talking to our leaders and calming down and we have been working hard.

I am in love with this mission and enjoying every second of this time...

Ok so just FYI to everyone, yesterday was the great 15th of September! or independence day! Here it just means a bunch of parades and noone doing anything but watching the parades of all the high schoolers XD

also just fyi... im dying of heat over here if you all want to know... I have been sweating and dying BUT the great part of this place here where i am writing this great letter is that... there is no such thing as fans!

Ok enough whining! OK SO this week has been awesome because we have been working supr hard to start work in an area called Siboney, where the missionaries havent really visited in a long time and is poor, so the people cant really go to church, BUT they have started being really animated because the Bishop of our ward is setting up an activity of all the families in this area to start selling something called baleads (dilicious...) and we are going to start renting a bus that will be able to bring the 30 or more people to church that live there! The people are working hard and are excited, and the best part is we had a movie night in a families house and we were able to bring 34 people to this house and it was awesome!

The highlight was that on saturday night we met this really receptive guy in the street who showe dup to church on sunday! my companion was so excited during the church he was explainging EVERYTHING to the guy. at the end he gave him a book of mormon to read, and the guy refued! he then told us he still had his form when he served his mission in chili... he was a jerk, but it was great to find him because he just came to our colony and has been trying to find where the church was located here! it was great!

Mostly i have been working hard and dont have many crazy stories this week... We are starting to really work hard with the members and do some great work. Our area has amazing leaders who are so willing to help us out. We are working hard and loving all the time we can have here. My comp is 18 and is having a hard time adjusting to the life style but i am trying my hardest to make it easy on him. We are really loving our area even though its huge. Sorry that there arent a huge number of stories this week... i was a little busy checking up school stuff. BUT i love you all and love this time i have still!!

I am writing to let you all know, that i am loving my new area! We are wokring really hard in the form of reactivation. The real work is to pretty much train the members that they should be reactiviating not us, so in the future we can be an assstant not the only people visiting. but we cant blame them, because the oldest member here has been aconvert for 4 years, and the other who has had 30 years was inactive for 25 years of that 30... BUT thats just in my area. we are working hard and loving it so much. Our neighbors are amazing and help in everything they can. honestly. we are also teaching two of the young men and their families who live in the same apartment complex as us! They are super excited and really interested in reading the book of mormon.

The only problem is the onlymusic wants to listen to is every hymn on bag pipe... i just remember the birthdays when moms friend would shw up in front of my door and start playing his bag pipe to wake me up. and its not bag pipe with anything else, like interesting irish music. JUST bag pipe...

Well i am loving my area, my mission president is one of the best men i hve ever met in my life, and im happy!
