LOVIN' HONDURAS

Dear Family,
Well, this past week has been a tiring one. On Tuesday night (Wednesday, 2:00 AM),  we went to a change meeting in San Pedro, and didn't get back until Wednesday night. My companion Elder Reyes left the area. We had nine changes in the whole zone. They took the Sisters out of our Zone, so now we have two less missionaries. My new companion is one of the best things that has happened in my mission. My new companion is Elder Bair from Idaho. He has been one of my best friends here in the mission. He came to Honduras one change after I did. He is a big kid. He loves sports, especially football, and has a great desire to work hard for the Lord. These last days have been awesome. On Thursday, we had a really big planning session.  We set all kinds of great goals that are going to help us strive to be better every day. We have set a baptismal goal of 20 this month. We are waking up every day at 5:30 to read the Book of Mormon. We have a goal to read the Book of Mormon in 6 weeks. We have some really good studying goals, and other goals that are going to help us be more spiritual, and some others to get our muscles going again. I am really excited for this change. We had a baptism this last weekend. We baptized a 27-year-old man named Miguel Antonio. Right now, we have 2 families that are ready to get baptized, but we are waiting for their birth certificates to marry them. Well, this last weekend was kind of sad also. We didn't get to hear all of General Conference. We only had the opportunity to listen to the morning session Sunday and that's it. Because we don't have a church building right now, our satellite was taken out. So in our new building it was installed but that building was occupied by other people all day Saturday and all day Sunday after the morning session. So I am going to have to wait until it comes out in the Ensign to be able to read it. Well, I have to get going, my time is running out, thank you all so much for the letters. Oh and P.S. I bought a camera. It was a little expensive. It was 4,300 lempiras. That is a little over 200 dollars. I also bought some new pants. Well thanks for all the letters. Oh and guess what, I am also teaching right now a family here in Tocoa that was a referred by Miguel Lopez. Thanks Miguel. Well, I have to get going. I love you all. Have a good week.

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...

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...
