So this week was super awesome! We are going around talking to everyone trying to find new people to teach. The thing about Honduras is that EVERYONE will let you into their house and listen to what you have to say, but a lot of them don't really want to change. So we are really looking for people who heavenly father has prepared for us.

 Its really just weird. There is a church literally on every corner here. So there is a lot of talk about the bible and religon amongst the people here. It is really awesome to find people who have questions about the bible and being able to answer them though. It has really increased my desire to really STUDY the scriptures too. A lot of times i would read them just to read them, but really studying and pondering what they are saying has really allowed me to get such a great understanding of what the scriptures are saying. 

We are working with a family named the Gallardo Family who we have been teaching for over a month. We have challenged them to get baptized 3 times, but they always say they dont feel ready. But this past week we have really noticed a change. The family is really trying to learn and comprehend what we are teaching and they are reading the Book of Mormon and the Bible. They are awesome and we love teaching them. Wish i could tell you all about all of the investigators we are teaching but i dont have that much time. 

Love being a missionary and talking to everyone about the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ. It really brings so much joy to see people change through keeping the Commandments that God has given us. So happy to be serving a mission at the same time as my brothers who have been called to do this great work. 

Love all of you!! have a great week!!!
