DEAR FAMILY

Dear Family,
How are you all doing? Things are going great here in Tela. We had our first baptism on Saturday. We baptized a 17-year-old boy who we found my second day here. It was really awesome to see him change his ways and want to be baptized. He really is great. Lately, we have found a lot of people and families who are really interested in and excited to hear our message. Everybody we talk to, we invite them to repent of their sins and be baptized into Christ's Church, cuz that's how Preach my Gospel teaches it. They really stress that here...to be bold. I love it. The Spanish is coming along. I can understand pretty much everything in the lessons, but I struggle just talking to people. I am trying my hardest everyday to get better and learn more. I love talking to the people. The little kids here are so funny. They think I am so funny...I don't think they have ever seen such a big Gringo with white hair. My Companion is great. He is teaching me new things every day. The other day we went to San Pedro Sula for interviews with President Ochoa. I really like him. He told me the mission is going to be one big wrestling match! And then he told me that the biggest match that I am going to have is with myself, but that if I will be 100% obedient to all the mission rules, and work as hard as I can, that I will be a really great missionary. He told me to not worry about the language as much, and to just relax. He said I am doing above average right now...that made me feel so much better. After the interviews, President Ochoa's wife made peanut butter sandwiches for the missionaries. A peanut butter sandwich has never tasted better in my life. Have you guys received any of my letters yet? I think I have sent two or three...I am not sure. And Mom, those stamps you gave me...the lady at the post office said they don't work. I don't think she knows what she's talking about. Nothing is very organized here. The post office is pretty much a shack with a lady running it. I am gonna talk to the Zone Leaders though, and ask them. I love the fruit down here...it is really great. They have fruit that I have never even heard of or seen before. It is the best. Oh, and as for pictures, I might be able to send some over the internet. I am not going to get them printed out here. It's like three or four dollars for one picture with a digital camera. So, I will try to figure something out to send you some pictures of Tela. The houses here are awesome. A lot of houses here are built on stilts. From what I hear, these houses are only on the beach because of hurricanes and floods. Anyways, I just wanted to write you a little something. We don't have much time today, so I have to get going. My companion wants to write something...it's going to be in Spanish...Chris can translate. Here he is:

ANSWERS TO ???S

Dear Dad, How are you? This email is just to answer some of your questions. So Chris is going to be down here on Monday. I don’t think anybody I know here in my area would be able to get him from the airport. Nobody has a car and the ones that do have a car are working during the daytime. So I don’t know what he can do. And as for working with me on Monday and Tuesday, that would be awesome. Only Monday we don’t go out and work until 6:00. So maybe he would want to meet up with us Tuesday. I am going to see if it is okay with President. But where is he going to sleep? He won’t be able to sleep in our house. Is he going to rent a car?   What are his plans? We have interviews with President on Wednesday… I will talk to prez. Yes Brother Butts is back in Honduras now. You can call him. I told him you are going to call today. He is awaiting your phone call. He should be able to give you or be able to get you some information. He has about 3 years of traveling from the states to...

HOLA FAM

Lee Family, How is everyone doing? Well, I will have a little more time to write today since there was only Dad's letter waiting for me. So, how did the Oregon Coast treat you guys? I can't believe a year has past since I graduated. That was one of the fastest years ever. The time is flying by so fast. This past week has been kind of weird seeing everyone saying goodbye to Elder Khan, and seeing him prepare to go back home. I don't want those days to come too soon for me. My Comp is a little nervous about going back home. He says he wouldn't mind another month in the mission with me in this area. These last couple of days he has been kind of baggie and has been talking about home a lot. Last night we were up late talking. Tuesday night we are going to be eating like crazy. Everybody wants to feed us their best baleadas and food right before Elder Khan leaves, so food-wise we have been doing alright lately. Well, this last week, we were supposed to marry a couple, so w...
