So this week was pretty awesome!! We've been on fire because we had a baptism!!!! It was super awesome and I am super happy for Erica. She was super prepared when we met her and she basically knew every single lesson. She didnt take coffee or have a problem with the law of Chastity. Nothing! She was prepared and sent from God.
This last Thursday was pretty interesting! We got a call at 7:30 in the morning from Elders from another area saying that they needed some help. A sister in their area that also gives us food wednesday night and Friday for lunch. They called us saying that in the night their house caught on fire and they needed help. I didn't really think much caught on fire because the houses here in Honduras are pure concrete. I was wrong. When we got there at around 8:30 my jaw dropped in shock. Everything was burnt and there was ash everywhere. We got to work and man was it fun! I don't know why but service projects like that are super fun for me. We worked from 8:30 am to 7:30 pm only stopping for lunch and dinner that a neighbor provided for us. The thing that I loved was that all the neighbors and family were there to support and clean up the mess. The stake president arrived and called other Elders that live close to come help. There were 10 missionaries and a ton of other people. We shoveled a ton of ash and metal and basically a bunch of garbage. When all that was gone we destroyed the walls. That was probably my favorite part. All that work made us exhausted and when we got home we cleaned up and had to go to another lesson that we had that night and it was super rough cuz I couldn't think I was so tired haha. Luckily they understood why and it all went well. The sister that house burnt has some kids in the states that are helping and there are a ton of organizations and neighbors helping them rebuild their house. I love this sister, Hna. Conchita, so much. She's like a second mom because she takes care of everyone!
Today we went to a lagoon and it was ok. I'll send some pics from our photoshoot. I'm pretty pumped because we have been planning our Pday's to do some cool stuff so stay tuned to some loco fotos.
Love you all!
