Well another week has come and gone. This week was pretty good. I had an interview with President, which is always a great opportunity. He is seriously one of the most Christ like people I’ve ever met. We also had a meeting with all the leadership of the mission. It’s funny, because last week I mentioned that I’m not like Christ yet, and the leadership meeting was about being a Christ like leader. So I was able to learn a few things. Good stuff.
As for the work in our area... it’s going along. We have
some promise. There’s a few people that have shown some interest. As for baptisms... well, the people we had
with fecha [dates] aren’t completing their commitments. So it looks we won’t be
having a baptism this week. A little frustrating... but I can’t do much about
that. Just keep inviting them.
This week we also have a stake activity planned. It’s
going to be a mini-MTC with the youth of
the stake. We are going to do a few workshops and teach them some of the stuff
from Preach My Gospel and have study time and everything. And then we are
going to do divisions and work with them. So I’m pretty excited about
that.
In my reading of the Book of Mormon I’ve been doing... I just
passed through the sermon of Abinadi to King Noah and his priests. These
chapters are really awesome. He talks a lot about Christ and that only
through him can we be saved and inherit eternal life. He mentions about
those who will be resurrected in the first resurrection and those who are the
posterity of Christ. He also talks about how blessed the people are that
preach the gospel. I really like these chapters and the way he talked about
Christ. He truly is our Savior and our only hope. Without Him we
are lost. I cannot express how much I have enjoyed being able to teach the
people about this gospel. I know the Lord has blessed me in this whole
journey, and I know that preaching about the Savior is something that brings
true happiness. I love Christ and what He
has done for me. It is one of my
greatest desires to live worthily to be able to come into His presence for
eternity. And the only way, is through
the principles of the gospel. That’s why it’s so important for all these
people here in Honduras. So go read that
part of the Book of Mormon, it’s awesome!
