So we have gotten lost a couple of times. I still don't know the area well at all. Im usually good until the sun goes down. It usually gets dark at like 6 o'clock here too so we do alot of walking after dark. But when we did get lost, it was only for like 10 or 15 minutes so it wasnt that bad at all.
Something really cool happened this week though. The first day Elder Araica got here we didn't have any appointments and all of the members were at the temple. So we contacted the whole day! We started in the morning and contacted for about 3 hours and didnt find anyone who wanted to listen to us! Really frustrating. So then we had lunch and did our language study and headed out to do some more contacting. While we were walking down the street I just said to my companion "we need to pray". We prayed and asked for heavenly father help us find some people who need the gospel. Right after the prayer I thought that i would let my companion lead the way. So he lead us down some streets and we contacted a house. The lady let us in right away and we had a great lesson with her. She is very interested and said that she has been looking for a church to go to. Right after that we walked about 3 doors down and talked to another lady who was sitting on her front porch. She is so nice and was so receptive to our message. So then we left that house and walked about 20 yards and heard someone scream "Elders!!". I turned around expecting to see a member, but it was a random guy so i was really curious how he knew us. We started talking with him and he said that he lived in Virginia for about 10 years. But then he said that he got in trouble with the law so he had to do some time in jail. While he was in jail he said that the mormon missionaries would come and talk to them every once in a while. He said that he talked to a lot of people about church but he felt something different with our Church. He said he would love to learn more and we are going to teach all of them this week! So that was 3 new investigators all within 1 hour. My companion still didn't know the area at all so he said he was just walking where he felt we needed to. I know that was the spirit leading us to those people. Such a cool experience of Heavenly Father answering our prayer.
We have a baptism scheduled for this Saturday with a guy named Dario. He has an incredibly strong testimony. I know he is ready to make that step in his life.
Loving every day here in Honduras. The lord has blessed us so much and I love the work!

We saw a guy holding some iguanas so we asked him if we could hold it and we got a picture. And we found a huge spider in the street so we took some pictures with it. And here is a picture with one of the funniest little girls i have ever met!
