Well, we had a busy, good week!

Last Sunday through Wednesday we had Hermana Pineda staying with us until she received her companion. It was fun to be in trio for a few days. She's a really fun, good missionary.

In ward council last week our ward missionary signed us up to do a service project for the bishop, and at the last minute couldn't make it, so we three and another hermano helped paint the bishop's daughter's room pink. It ended up taking a lot longer than we thought, and with zero experience a Honduran, a Mexican, an El Salvadorean, and an American got the job done. It was lots of fun and we ended up covered in paint.

Wednesday we got to go to the changes meeting, even though we didn't have changes, and see lots of hermanas who I love a lot. We even got three newbies under our charge here in the city, two from the states. I gave them a big hug and told them they were going to be okay and that they were starting the best adventure of their lives. It reminded me a lot of my first day and made me all nostalgic.

Thursday after district meeting we went over to the area of a companionship we have who are opening an area, which means they both arrived new in an area where elders had been before Wednesday, and they didn't know anything about the area. They were feeling a little overwhelmed, but we went and helped them get to know the area, talk to everyone, and find investigators. It was fun. 

Yesterday the Wilson family invited us over for dinner. They are from Nevada, and the father has a house here in our area because he spends the majority of his time working in Tegucigalpa. His daughter and granddaughters have been visiting for the past month, and visiting our ward. I've been translating Sunday School for them and helping them get situated in the ward. 

They are a really neat family and were so kind to have us for dinner. The little girls are super cute and were real troopers in Primary even though they didn't understand anything. It was really fun to go over and talk about American things and eat American food. We took pictures with Clyde, his pet lizard, which was real cool. We are sad that his daughter and the girls are going home this week. 

This week was a little hard in that very few investigators are progressing and we feel like we have to start over from the ground up, finding new people to teach and helping them progress, but it's all in the game. I am constantly learning lots of patience and diligence and faith, relying on the fact that God has a plan for us and this area and is preparing his children to receive the gospel.

I am doing great, I'm happy and healthy and enjoying it.

Have a great week!
