Lunes 22 de Febrero:
"Charity. The highest, noblest, strongest kind of love, not merely affection; the pure love of Christ."
"Meditar siempre en estas preguntas: (always meditate on these questions)
'During your mission will you allow your fears to get the better of you?
Will you only give a portion of your potential to the work before you?'" Dieter F Uchtdorf
We waited for two hours to go to Progreso with some other missionaries just to get off the bus at KFC, eat there with another pair of missionaries, and get back on the bus.
But on the ride back Elder Lucero started talking to the guy in the seat next to him and a lady a few seats ahead was listening in so he invited her to come sit closer and join the conversation. He then turns to me and says "you are going to help me teach this lesson okay?" And I was so nervous because he's suuuper good at teaching and explaining and I'm...not the best pero ahi voy. But it ended up being a really good lesson and I learned a lot. I learned that I need to go slower in the lessons because the majority of people we teach....aren't extremely educated.
Martes:
"Work hard, be strong, change lives" HH
I miss Mel a lot lately. I'm so proud of her for getting one of the 20 spots in the nursing program though! Sometimes I wish I was cool enough to study medicine.
Hoy pusimos una cita 30 años in advance. (we set an appointment 30 years in advance) He said that when he's 50 he'll change and start to follow Jesus Christ.
We were playing with a puppy during one of our lessons and Dardón and I about died laughing at the face it made when we picked it up. You had to be there.
We were also talking about the way we feel about puppies is the way some people feel about babies. Weird right? Puppies are usually way cuter in my humble opinion.
During our district meeting all the Latinos (I'm the only white missionary in Tela) went wild for my english class, I did a game by request of Elder Vasquez but what they don't know is that it was the exact same game that I used about 2 months ago, but nobody that was there today was in Tela back then. how am I already the person with the most time in the area?? I'm also the oldest by way of time in the mission. jeeez.
We ended up passing by the same street a ton of times today and this drunk guy kept asking for a kiss or something to remember me by so I walked over and gave him a pamphlet #adioslepido
And the owner of the pulperia at the corner motioned for us to come over and gave us some juice because he said we looked tired from walking in the sun. #pitypoints #score
Miércoles:
"Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man" Matt 14:11
We came home at 8:15pm today because there were rumors of a "toque de queda" Like the gang 18 declared it or something. Our appointment fell anyway so it was like alright I guess we'll turn in tonight, I wanted to contact 2 more houses though just to get a nice even 10 lessons but whatever.
The reason we laughed today was this guy Mario that we contacted. He started talking about his heart surgery and all of a sudden he lifts up his shirt to show us the scars and was talking to us for like 5 min with his shirt lifted up all scarred and chubby and hairy and we were trying SO HARD not to laugh at him but he goes on to say he has scars on his legs too and moves his hand over to his pants and we were both like no! no! It was awful we could not keep a straight face it was torture.
Also, I straight up walked up and contacted a whole family outside their house, I would have never done that before, but I'm changing.
We had our first dinner at a member's home whaaaaat. only 77 days in the branch nada mas. I kinda missed comida catracha
Jueves:
"Anakin- long necked, a giant race. Settled near Hebron but also met with further north"
-bible dictionary
22 more weekly plannings -_-
For lunch we had breakfast tacos, I'm a culinary genius. I shot a video of the experience.
The reason we laughed today was a chicken flying out of nowhere right in front of us in campo hervir #ibelieveicanfly
We contacted another person who turned out to be a member turned Jehovas Witness. Still wondering what the JWs got that we don't.
Viernes:
Matt 18:11-12
I can testify that looking for lost sheep in the mountains is hard work. Especially if the sheep do not want to be found.
2 Nephi 2:14 Am I a thing that acts or a thing that is acted upon?
I was freezing most of the day, wading through water up to my knees at times, but today was a good day!
We found the Israelite guy again it was good talking to him and we had a good lesson in the evening before the power went out.
Sabado:
Yolanda's husband explained to us that scientists made mosquitos with diseases in order to inflict pain upon the human race.
While we were eating lunch some guys came to put in a metal door with a screen so that we can have air coming in without letting in all of the scientifically engineered mosquitos in.
In the house we have set a new rule that we have to speak english, which honestly I think I forget to follow more than my companion does.
But i've already noticed a difference in her english and even outside of the house she'll talk in english especially if we don't want people to overhear us. It's very entertaining to say the least.
Domingo:
1 Corinthians 15:58
It was sunny so more people came to church!
This was the week, not too entertaining but today we started out with 2 hours in the gym and then went to go eat at Hotel Maya Vista and this time we brought our cameras! the view was gorgeous to say the least. and the food was exquisite, but a little expensive. the papaya juice that I ordered was basically blended papaya, delish. And the salad and the spaghetti both came with many sea creatures. I would definitely take my family to go eat there if we ever went to Honduras ;P
