WEEK 28 - Q&A
1. Are you and your comp healthy this week?
Yes we are doing great. We are both super healthy. Neither of us really gets sick a whole lot.
2. Has your new house ever been lived in by missionaries before? Or are you the first ones?
It is the first time that missionaries have lived there. But before us, a member lived there, which is kind of interesting.
3. What is something that made you laugh this week?
We made some macaroni and when we were scooping it out, the sound it made. WOW. One of the funniest things ever. We were both literally laughing until our stomachs hurt.
4. You mentioned you dropped some investigators last week. Do you drop them if they aren't progressing?
If they don't progress or they don't come to church after 5 weeks of teaching them, we have to drop them. But they also sometimes tell us they don't want to be taught anymore.
5. Did you burn a tie on your six month mark? And did Elder Valladares burn a shirt? Do you have pics? Tell us all about it!
Yes I burned a tie. I didn't take any pics cause I don't know why. Elder Valladares didn't burn a shirt because he didn't want to. It was exciting... I guess. I didn't really feel too different.

WEEK 28 Update
This week was really good.
Tuesday
We found out that the kids of the people that live in front of us are members so we have been visiting them a little bit. They are way cool. Today was good, but we walked so much.
Wednesday
We went to Urrutia for the first time in a while. It was good but it was BLAZING hot. We were baking up there. Nothing really too exciting.
Thursday
We woke up super duper early and got on the bus for Tegucigalpa. Such a beautiful place. We kinda just hung out at the temple while we waited. After the temple we went to eat. Then we just drove home. It was such a great day, finally saw Teguc and the temple.
Friday
Friday was pretty great as well. We worked a ton today. We went to a far away place and then we came back and worked a ton more. Some weird people that we talked to.
Saturday
Saturday honestly nothing real exciting happened. We went to Urrutia. We are probably going to baptize Eidy and Massiel's mom. Yay.
Sunday
Sunday we basically knew that God was testing us. Nobody came to church. All of our appointments fell through, all of our back-up plans fell through as well, and we ended up walking without sitting down for about 6 hours because nobody wanted to listen to us. It was a rough day but there is always something to learn.
Well I am basically for sure almost out of Danli, changes are in 2 weeks. I honestly wish that I could stay another change just to be with Elder Valladares. We get along so well and we work so well together.
Hope you all have a great week!
