Well family and friends, it was a pretty long week. Honduras just went into summer this week too.
It’s been really hot…really hot. But
that’s life here. I hear you all are freezing. Anyways, I don’t
have much this week.
This week we had a mission conference with Elder Ochoa. It was
pretty cool. He talked about some things that we should do as a mission. That we need to follow the spirit more to find the people that the Lord has
prepared. He also talked about how we should be planning weekly goals, not just
monthly goals. We should be planning to have baptisms each week. So it
was pretty motivating. I guess I really need to start focusing on the
spirit more to find those people the Lord is preparing. I’m also really
excited because we are going to have a meeting with Elder Nelson! An apostle is coming in two weeks! So
super stoked!
My comp and I don’t really have much to work with right now. The elder that I came for, didn’t really do
much. So we fasted and went to the meeting with Elder Ochoa hoping to receive a
bit of inspiration as to what we should do as missionaries. He’s in the
presidency of the area of Central America, and they have been trying to put the
members to work in the mission[ary] work here. So we came up with a plan,
following the area plan and what we learned from the mission conference, and
made some goals about what we want to do here. We want to put the members
to work, and we have been passing around a form for them to fill out with names
of people that they will prepare for the missionaries. Using that form, we will get more people to
teach and prepare ourselves to have baptisms each week in the next change.
I honestly have felt and know that the area plan that the area
presidency is putting into practice here is inspired. I feel that if the
members have a desire to work, and they work with us and put in practice what
the area presidency is saying, we will have a lot of success here. It’s a big ward, and I’m excited to see what
we can do. I know this plan is from God and we will receive a ton of blessings here in this area, if we follow it, members and missionaries together. So
things should get pretty good. As we say
here, vamos a echar fuego! (English translation: Let’s take fire!)
