I'm glad to hear that the pictures made
it and you were able to enjoy them and yes you will have to wait for a
year before i can explain the pictures because that's too hard haha! But
yes Bani is a great area - I'm loving it for sure! We are so close with
people - we just have to get them over the hump but there is for sure a
lot of work to do. And even though we are split in 2 with other missionaries,
our area is still massive and takes alot of walking so there are tons of
people to find and teach! This week was a bit longer just because we
had to drop some people unfortunately. But in return we were able to find
some great people that i believe can progress! As of now we have a
good lady that is progressing named Crismeldi. She is super cool and
reads and is super excited about our message and wants to be baptized
but there is a problem - we have to get her married so we are working on
that - it could take some time but we will see what happens. She is
hesitant about that but i'll keep you updated on her! We also have Adrian who is going to be baptized this weekend so we are excited for
that! It should be a great experience! I'll let you know what happens there as
well! The progress of the older man is about the same we have been
working with him but one day we were walking down the street when i felt
super impressed to talk to him about the priesthood and blessings. A
thought came to my head like ´if i'm here on a mission trying to bless
people with the priesthood, why am i not using it?´ but also when i know
the priesthood is to bless others not just me! So i told my comp. and
that's what we talked about with him and so we will see if he would like
one here soon in the future. He is still working hard like a champ to
drop smoking and all so he can be baptized! Things have been great
here in the mission for sure. We had conference this past week and i got
to see and hang out with Elder Maner for a little while so that was great! Then also this week we had interviews with president and it went great! i
felt super good and it was great to talk to him! He is a great
presidente and leader! So no complaining on my part but it sounds like
the same for you all and your week! The big old bridge run - i remember
that - it was fun haha! i have been meaning to ask how is Claytonl!? Any gals? Just working? What's going on with him? Tell him i'd love
to hear back from him and that I sure miss and think about him often
and his example and the good old times! And how about Morgs? i haven't
heard from her in for ever either! Just tell the whole family i'd
love to hear from them and see how they are doing!? i know you all are
busy but let me know what you are busy doing!? haha
But ya we are working on that whole muscle thing, haha! I'm
not sure its working but we will see - it's been good with another
missionary that likes to work out and all and now that we have actual
weights and all! Yeah let's just say things are different underneath the
shirt haha! He is teaching me clean Spanish and i have to help
him with Dominican Spanish just because sometimes he doesn't understand
when i do and vice versa so its been good there. He is a good worker and
knows why he is here and all! Kinda big headed - he thinks he is super
strong! I don't know if that's just how Honduran people are, maybe Paul
would know, but he is maybe about 145 and super skinny but he thinks he
is super strong and all so it's pretty funny! I have wrestled around with
him a little bit just to mess around so that's been pretty fun, haha! He is
funny! Thank you so much for those quotes - they are awesome!
Sounds like ya'll had a pretty fun
crazy filled week and weekend but glad to hear all is well and
everyone is happy there and safe! Tell everyone hi and let them know
they are in my prayers! Love you all so very much! Hope to hear from
ya'll again next week and don't forget I'd love to hear how everyone is
doing and all! But love and miss you all - remember you are all in my
prayers!
Elder Reidhead
