Hello everyone!! I hope that you all had a fantastic week. Things were pretty regular this week. We worked hard and found new people to teach. We are talking to a ton of people each day and we are getting to know a lot of people here. 

One day this week we were out contacting people and at first everyone we talked to didnt listen to us and so we thought that we would go to a poorer part of our area and we had a lot more success in that area. It got me thinking about "orgullo" and how money can really take over our lives if we arent careful. Even if we dont have the biggest house or the nicest car, we have a lot to be thankful for.  A lot of the people here have close to nothing, but they are so thankful for the things they do have and always are so humble. That is the thing that i love most about the people here in Honduras. Yeah there are always people who are really prideful and get caught up in things of this world, but the majority of people here are really humble and willing to change their lives to follow the example of our savior Jesus Christ. 

Love the chance i have to be a missionary and share this gospel with the people here in Honduras. I have been changed so much in my testimony and i know without a doubt in my heart that the church of Jesus Christ has been restored to the earth through a prophet. The gospel of Jesus Christ changes lives and i am thankful for the opportunity that i have had to see that in the people i have met. 

Hasta luego!!
