Naco Week 15

Hey fam!

Kind of a busy week! Tuesday we had a multi- zone conference and it was great to see alot of friends. Then on Saturday we got to hear from President Nelson who was in the Capital! It was so cool to hear his stories! He was HILARIOUS. He would call up some Elders and just make fun of them it was great. He said that we need to have the gospel in our bone marrow. Then he said, so when we give a bone transplant its like spreading the gospel hahahha it was so funny. At that conference I got to see everyyonneeeee it was so nice!

Elder Ambler!

With Elders Porter and Dye

One night I was sleeping and woke up to a spider biting me on my hand! for 2 days my hand was all puffy and red and it itched like crazy! But it finally went down so I'm good now but it was pretty sketch because the spider was HUGE.

I was able to do divisions with the Elders in San Marcos which is forever away so that was also a fun experience! 

Divisions with Elder Quiros who is from Bolivia

Really that's alllll about that happened.....sorry....just alot of contacting and trying to find men! On Sunday we gave talks, taught the gospel principles class, and gave a lesson to everyone in the 3rd hour alllll about missionary work! It was alot of talking but it really helped everyone understand their role in the work and we got everyone pumped so we will see  how these weeks go! Love you guys have a great week!

Naco Week 14

Andrea and Daniel

Hola Family!

Pretty great week! Also a little stressful. A little bit of everything! Honestly time is just flying by with Elder Coniam. Always a funny comment coming out of his mouth to make me laugh. Not a whole lot to comment on this week but really just walking and teaching you know how it goes! Contacting is not very effective here so we rely on references like crazy. But Hondurans are naturally so shy so its hard to get them out of their comfort zones. But they are starting to trust us more so we will see how it goes!

Really funny experience this week! We were teaching a family outside their house and it was going great. She was cooking chuleta( like fried pig) for us and it was in the kitchen on a plate and all the sudden we hear a CRASH and a dog runs out with a huge piece of meat in his mouth! He ate all of them and the last one made the plate fall! The worst part was he came back like 10 minutes later to see if there was more hahaha it was hilarious!

Well Andrea(15) and Daniel(12) were able to get baptized this week and they were so happy! They have been waiting for a long time now and they noticed a big change in their lives! Sadyn is doing great and her testimony is growing everyday. Little bits of challenges but she is still excited for her baptism! 

Well I just have lots pics this week soooo have a great week love you guys!

Naco Week 13

Hey Family!

Pretty awesome week! A lot of success which is just a great feeling. We got a new record of people at church! 54 people! and 9 of our investigators showed up so that was so amazing to see their desire to learn more. Here in Naco I've come to notice that the church is just attacked and attacked and the people who talk to us or who receive us or come to church, get hazed or made fun of. It's really sad but it really shows who the courageous ones are! This last week we had a couple problems with internet pages that were against the church and we lost a lot of great investigators. :( It's pretty sad but maybe with time they will come to realize the truth.

We were able to help again get and chop firewood for the activities the church is doing! We got to help sell the bread and other typical Honduran foods! November they are going to the temple so it's to save for the bus! So our job is to find everyone we can to fill that bus up!

Our investigator Deña is so great and she's is a huge example for her family! They don't want her to get baptized but she told us that she doesn't listen to them and she knows this is the true church! The only problem is that she lives right next to the bishop....over an hour walking to the middle of nowhere haha. We have to do it a lot and it's always a funny experience. Everyone just stares at us like wild animals because they haven't seen missionaries before! But if all goes well she will get baptized with Sadyn this week! For an activity in church Sadyn was challenged to give a B.O.M. to a friend and she found this guy named Arnold and he seems so prepared! Investigators finding investigators!

This last week was changes but I lucked out and me and Coniam are still together! I'm the district leader of 8 missionaries and they are all so great! The only problem is that they live like forever way. This with be a change of success! Some times it seems we have so many challenges or problems and really they end up being so small and we can find the hand of the Lord helping us everyday. I Love being a missionary and helping people come unto Christ!

Love you guys!

Naco Week 12

Yummy tacos!

Family!

Great to see everyone at home doing good! I just got done playing soccer again! I know...I know... shocker Elder Sessions playing soccer. Well this Zone has nothing else to do! But the other missionaries are homies so we get along great. 

I'm not going to butter up this week because honestly it was a little challenging haha. We still had some great experiences and I really feel like we were guided by the spirit!

So remember how I was kinda making a joke about the other missionaries that got robbed? Welllllll karma came back to me. People broke into our house! Pretty strange because Naco is suppose to be chill.... Well they broke off the front lock with a hammer and flat head screw driver then went around back and smashed down the back door! They robbed us at like 3 or 4 in the afternoon! Like how does that even happen?! Well we were reallyyyy blessed because we decided not to take out money until today! They only took a little bit of my money, some memories with gospel talks and stuff,  and my little speaker to listen to music. Elder Coniam didn't luck out as much and really got a lot taken. Those guys are really lucky I didn't catch them because I would have given them so many pamphlets...

This Sunday I had the chance to bless a baby! Wow what a cool experience. His name is Jadyn and he's a cutie! The family is really special for the missionaries and the dad we have been teaching for a while and he's been progressing alot! Practice for the future right? ;)

So Sadyn is doing fantastic. We have decided to push the date a little father back just to give her a little more time to prepare. She had a really hard week with people judging her for reading the Book of Mormon at work and by herself she had to defend herself against a jehovah's witness, a Catholic and a Evangelis. She said her best friends turned their backs on her and really it made me think about how blessed we are to be members of this church and not have hate for ANYONE! No one can judge someone trying to get themself to God. Sadyn is strong and says her testimony hasn't wavered! She says there is power in the Book of Mormon!

The bishops family gave us a reference of a lady named Deña. Bishop's family says they have been praying for missionary experiences and the next day Deña showed up and said she wanted to go to church with them! Such a great testimony of prayer and missionary work! She has a date for this 15th and she is progressing alot!

Well hope you all pray for missionary experiences and have a great week!
