HELLO AGAIN!

Dearest Goonies and Family,
Well, I just got done writing a huge letter and I lost it and I am not very happy. Here are the highlights: This last Tuesday we had a sweet Zone Leader Conference with Elder Farabela, who is in the First Quorum of the Seventy and will be talking in this General Conference that is coming. The conference was amazing. I am happy because this Thursday I will be completing 21 years old and I still feel like a 14 year old boy. My cook is going to throw me a birthday party, but not this week because she is going to the temple in Guatemala.  My new Companion and I are fasting every week to keep seeing miracles in this little area. The Lord really has blessed me and it has been a blessing to see my converts in this area use their priesthood by blessing and passing the sacrament, and going on divisions with us during the week. This Saturday my convert Brother Melvin Caseres will be baptizing his 8 year old son David. I am way excited. This Tuesday will be my last Multi-Zone conference...sad day
Information for Dad: Tocoa is in Colon. It is about 6 hours on the bus. If you want to go out there on a bus, it would be kind of fun. The buses that go out to Clon are nice and clean. But if you want to rent a car that would be nice to. As for here in San Pedro, we will need a car because you will not want to ride on the buses here in San Pedro.
Special Favor---The 24th, after the change meeting, I would like to take two families out to lunch. The Stake President’s family (my cook) and the Bishop’s family (my cook, Sister Lara, and the bishop are brother and sister). I would like to take them out to Apple Bees. A plate at Apple Bees is pretty cheap. About 10 dollars. And there probably won’t be more than 10 people. These two families have kept me alive here in this area by feeding us. They give us two or 3 times the amount of food that we pay for and are always willing to help us in everything. I would like to thank them by taking them out to lunch with you guys on the 24th. So write me in your next letter and tell me if that would be OK, so that I can plan it and talk to them, so that they can be prepared.  I can’t lie. I am a little trunkie or in better words excited to see you all. I really don’t want to leave this country. I feel like these people are my people, my family, and that this land is my land. Don't worry though, I am not that trunkie...I am still working hard and focused on my responsibilities and my purpose. I will give it my all till the day I take off my tag. Thank you all for everything you do. Thanks for your prayers, letters, etc. Have a great week.
Love, Your Missionary in Honduras--Elder Lee

P.S. My camera broke. The lens is all messed up and nobody here can fix it. My cook is letting me borrow her digital camera for these next couple weeks so that I can take pictures. It’s not the best camera but it will do
P.P.S. My cook says Hi and that she is really excited to see you (I think they are a little nervous too, because everybody here thinks Gringos are filthy rich and that we think low of them when we see their houses).  HAVE A GREAT 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...

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...

She is part black.  There are a lot of black people here. They are Garifunas. I don't know what it is, but a ton of little black kids here have hair that is sun bleached. It's very interesting.  I am thin ki ng my hair will get really white here. 6.  The Zona Celestial. We baptized 59 the month of August...Mission record!  Here we are eating a little Chinese food with President. ...
