¡Buenas!
Well,
first things first...I had changes. I´m with Elder Purcell from West
Valley City, Utah as a ZL in San Pedro Sula everything (Area San Pedro
Sula 1, Zona San Pedro Sula, Barrio San Pedro Sula, Estaca San Pedro
Sula). In other words, I am going to finish in the very heart of the
mission. Our capilla is one of the biggest stake centers in Honduras,
"Benque" as they call it which is takes up nearly the entire block at
the corner of 12 Avenida and 6 calle. I´ve known Elder Purcell from
early on and we´ve been in all the same zones together. It is now one of
the biggest zones in the mission with 32 missionaries since we absorbed
Zona El Carmen (Ocotillo, one of my old areas) this change.
Life
in the city is a little different. The missionary work is a little
different from what I´m used to in the pueblitos. Our area is a
commercial sector so we contact people who live in other parts of the
mission and the SPS East as well. Nevertheless, we still have people to
teach and the members are excellent from what I´ve seen so far. At
church, we have air conditioning...I was shivering a bit haha. It will
be a good area to finish the mission.
It
was, as always, a little tough to say goodbye to people in Cofradía.
The toughest was familia Martinez/Zuniga Chavez...Mari Zuniga (my only
convert) started crying near the end...it was tough, but we´re going to
keep in touch with the family through FB when I get home.
We
had neat experience while we were saying goodbye. Monday night, we were
going to head out early to say goodbye to some people we had planned
out, but a thought came to mind to go visit la Familia Tampán and people
who lived close first. Well when we got there, the power had gone out
and it was super super hot. Hermana Tampán has a newborn (1 week) who
was sick and she was not doing too well either. She was there with her
two other sons and nephew, but no one was helping. She immediately asked
for a blessing and we were there to give it to her and her baby. The
next day when we went back to take the photos she and the baby had improved a lot and we
washed the dishes in the pila. It´s always nice to be in the right place
at the right time.
Well,
we had 3 at church this week. We have a lot of work to do if we want to
see baptisms, but I feel like we will have great support with the
members.
That´s
almost all I have this week. I have a lot of other goals too, but I
will tell you next week. CHEQUE PUES!
