Tony's mission to Honduras

Dear Family, Everyone take a deep breath with me and calm down. You still have lots of time to think about this little trip. And Honduras isn’t as bad as you think. There are not gangsters walking around with guns everywhere looking for people to jump. Everything will go fine, no reason to get nervous. This is going to be a little baggie letter because I have to answer all your questions. I wrote Chris a letter to give him some answers to some of his questions. If you have any more questions call Brother Douglas Butts and he can call me. Mom, don’t worry about your clothes. None of the women wear shorts. Only skirts, capris, or jeans. A lot of the women here in the church wear capris or jeans with a nice blouse and nice sandals or nice little shoes like you always wear. Nobody really wears tennis shoes here though like we do in the States (women). The guys here don’t wear shorts. Usually jeans. But bring some nice shorts, Dad and Chris, if you want. Just for the change meeting, brin...

Dear Fam, Well this is going to have to be fast. It is Tuesday and I have no time. Yesterday we had to move houses, so I didn’t have time to write. Wasn’t Conference way awesome this weekend? I was on the edge of my seat listening the whole time. It was probably the Best General Conference that I can remember. It went by way fast. I remember back in the days when Conferences would just drag on forever. After the first session on Saturday some of our Zone and I went and ate at Pizza Hut. That was really fun. And Sunday, between sessions we had three baptisms at the Stake Center in our Zone. I had to interview an old Grandma named Rosa that is 88 years old. She was way so cute how she answered all the baptismal questions. Anyways, this Saturday, we are going to baptize a 39-year-old man named Ramon. We were teaching his brothers about three weeks ago, but they weren’t progressing…so then we found him, and we have been teaching him for about two weeks now. He went to Priesthood Session...

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...
