HELLLLOOOOOOO
Dearest
Fam,
How's
everyone doing? Sounds like everything is changing at home. Everyone is
leaving, going to different places, pregnant, etc.. I heard today that Carmen
Jenks had a baby, and that Emily McGary is engaged. That is way too weird. It
seems like they should still be in high school. Anyways, the mission is flying
by. I still have a lot of time left, but every week just flies by now. I don't
even feel the days anymore. I love Honduras...it really is the best place in
the world. I am starting to love my new area here in San Pedro. The members
here are the greatest. They love going to visit with us and are starting to get
really engaged in the work. I am really excited to stay here in this area for a
couple of more changes. Well, this last week was really great. We found a lot
of new investigators including a golden family of four. They went to
church on Sunday and loved it. The father of the family has a big swollen foot
and can hardly walk, and he walked about 35 minutes to get to church with his
family. It was really a big sacrifice for him. All day Sunday, he said he had a
lot of pain in his foot because of walking so much, but he didn't regret going
to church or anything. We are also teaching a really special man named
Alex. He is a drug dealer. He has been drug dealing for more then 25
years. He really wants to change and get baptized. He already has a strong
testimony of Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon. The only thing is he doesn't
have the courage to give up his work. He supports 3 houses of family members,
schooling for his kids, and other family that depend on the money he makes drug
dealing. And if he just stops he will have a lot of problems with clients, and
here in Honduras, if someone gets mad at you, they will try to take your life.
He has gone to church about 6 Sundays straight. We aren't focusing much time on
him right now. A while ago we were visiting him more often, now he just has to
make a decision to follow Christ or the ways of the world. He knows he has to
make the decision also. He is a really intelligent man and will be a future
leader of the church here. Please pray for him, so that he will have the
courage and faith to be able to make a wise decision and stop, and that he
won't have any problems when he does make that decision. Anyways, this past
week I had my last interview with President Ochoa. It was really sad. I am
going to miss him when he goes home this 20th of June. After he leaves here, he
is going to Mexico for just a little bit and then will be going to Utah to live
for a year. So maybe one day you will all have the opportunity to meet my Prez.
He really is the best in the world. It will be really weird to receive a new
President. In my interview, I thanked him for everything he has done for me and
for all the lessons he has taught me. All my interviews I have had with him
here in the mission have been so powerful. He is such a powerful and inspired
man of God. I asked him for some counsel for life. He just looked at me and
said "Do whatever you want to do. Depend on the Lord, and you can
accomplish anything you want to accomplish. "You have it ALL," he
told me...that felt really special coming from him! He said, "Life is a wrestling match... whoever
stops wrestling, will lose. Give it your all in everything you do, and you will
accomplish great things." I am going to miss him. Mom,
for an early birthday present, if you could send me another white shirt that
would be awesome. But this time buy a 15 1/2 neck, but with the stretchy button
up top like always. Thanks Mom!...Love you tons. Thank you all for your
letters. Love you all tons. Love, Elder Lee
