WEEK 90 - Update
This week was really good.
Tuesday
We had divisions with the Assistants on Tuesday. I went to their area and we had a good day. I worked with Elder Solares from Guatemala. We were able to visit a few people and there was a lady that they had never taught before but we were able to visit with her and teach her a little bit. Great day.
Wednesday
We had a normal day. We are working well and finding new people.
Thursday
We had divisions again with some Elders in our zone. Elder Lee and Elder Maldonado. I was with Elder Lee and we all worked in our area. It was a good day, we were able to contact a little bit with not a whole lot of success but always good to talk to the people. We went and did some baptism interviews for some Elders in our zone.
Friday
We went to visit a few families in our area that go to another ward. We had a family home evening with the stake president and his family. They are really good people.
Saturday
We did a few visits with the stake president, President Pineda. He is a great man and we were able to visit a few families.
Sunday
We went to church. We took the sacrament to a family again. It was a good normal day.
I love being here in Honduras teaching this wonderful gospel. I am so happy that I have been able to help people here and grow. I know this Church is true and I know that Christ is our Savior. He loves us!
Have a great week everyone!

This week was really great.
Tuesday
We went and ran some errands in the zone. We visited Yolany, she is doing really good. She is a great convert and is progressing very well in the Gospel. We visited Gabriela and her cousins. They are doing good.
Wednesday
We had the changes meeting. It was good to see a couple people and hard to see some of them go. We went and visited Daniel, he is doing great and is ready for baptism this Saturday. We visited the Zelaya family. Doing great as well.
Thursday
We had our district meeting, it was good. We made some goals as a zone for the month of March. We went to our stake meeting. Normal day.
Friday
Friday was a normal day as well. We went to visit the Chacon family, the parents aren't members and we were able to talk a little about baptism and we discovered that they have some doubts about baptism and are a little confused so we are going to focus on that.
Saturday
We went and did a baptism interview for one of the areas in our zone in the morning. It is great to see that our zone is working and baptizing. We went and visited Yolany. We visited Gabriela. Everyone is doing great.
Sunday
Gabriela went to church with us. She liked it. We went to a ward council meeting. We took the sacrament to a few members. We visited the Zelaya family, they are doing good.
Hope everyone has a good week!
