Tony's mission to Honduras

Hola Family! Here are some photos for you all to look at:  1.  Jose Omar. He is 17, and he was my first baptism. He is a really great kid.  He comes around with us on Sundays and teaches with us.  He wants to serve a mission here in two years. 2. T his is in the area of the Hermanas with a whole bunch of black kids. They are awesome. They speak two languages...and some three (including English). 3.  Me on a rock calling Tela to repentance...No, just kidding... Just a hill where some people live that we teach. 4.  This was just yesterday. We went and taught a family up in the mountains. These two  boys, that are 12 and 13,  came with us. They love me. They are so funny. 5.  These kids always give me thumbs up when I walk by.  We taught their family, but they weren't progressing. Really funny kids. 6.  Me and a little kid that is always playing by this little bridge,  every Sunday when we take this old black lady the Sa...

Dear Family, The weeks are flying by. It seems like we have P-day too often...feels like P-day is every other day. Well, this past week we kind of had an up, down, and up week.

So, when we got home Thursday night, when my companion was in the shower, I prayed ...

Vacation in Seaside, Jr. Miss coming up, going to D.C to visit Grandma, David and Kira in Washington, Seahawks in the Super Bowl!!...Wow, you guys sound spoiled. Well, things are going great in Honduras. I didn't email last weeks because we didn't have time...my Companion had to pack up because he was getting transferred. On Wednesday, I received a new companion. His name is Elder Ventura from Guatemala. He doesn't speak any English except for "son of a gun".  He's really awesome. He is so funny. He makes me laugh all day. Everybody loves him. He tells me that I have picked up Spanish fast. I don't know if he's just trying to be nice or if he is serious. My Companion goes around telling everybody that we are here in Tela to serve and help them. He tells them we wash clothes for free, clean houses, wash cars, etc...then he tells them that I am a cook.
