Elder Child ~Honduras San Pedro Sula West Mission

5 days left here at the MTC! If you've got anything to send me, send it now! We found out our flight plans to Honduras, we leave the 29th at 11:58p.m. to atlanta and then we go to honduras arriving at around noon on tuesday. I am pretty nervous to be honest, i have NEVER left the U.S. let alone been to a 2nd or 3rd world country! Murder Capital of the world baby!!! I am about to be absolutely HUMBLED! I always forget that i will be getting a new companion in 10 days, i am so sad. i love Elder Allan I wish we could be perminant companions. tuesday will be tough when i leave him. The MTC has made me so grateful for this life  and for all of the awesome people i have in my life. Everyday i go i look out the window of our 6th floor classroom and look at the beautiful world outside of these walls!  We had our last TRC with Jaime. He is such a freaking baller, i will miss his shoes and chains! We had a whole lesson planned and ended up ditching it and sharing our testimonies a...

Wow I cant believe that its been a month already! The weeks keep going by faster and faster. TRC's are going freaking AMAZING, our next lesson Elder Allan and I are going to pull up the question Se Bautizara? (will you be baptized) our last TRC we gave an awesome lesson on the atonement and the importance of repentance. We gave our testimonies at the end of the lesson and holy cow I was a mess. I couldn't hold myself together, baring my testimony in Spanish about the impact the atonement has had in my life was THE COOLEST experience!!! I had a little bit of a scare this week (don't worry mom I am fine) I was playing basketball and I drove in for a layup and I dislocated my left shoulder, for those of you who may not know a year and a half ago I tore my labrum... anyways I was terrified and my district immediately gave the DOPEST prayer I have ever heard. They did the tests and I was more than fine!! So don't worry I'm all...

this week i have been super sick i was promised some get well soon packages from multiple people and it has been 2 weeks now so thats awesome. the only light in my dark and dreary existence are my roomates and my companion. im kidding its ok. ill be fine. elder allen got a mini hoop to hang on our door we play a game called cabra "goat" which is just horse incase you werent catching on. we play it all day everyday (if we aren't studying which is never cause we work hard here in the MTC) not to brag but i am a 5 time champ in cabra:).  a lot of people in our zone left this week so everyone had to pass on the relics to someone else. i recieved 1 of 5 of the relics. "the durag of chastity", "the robe of riteousness", "the cloke of invinsibility" the relic i recieved is called the "Dear John jacket" it is 4 years old making it the oldest relic here, there are 28 signatures on it from past jacket hold...

well this week went a lot faster than the last one! our district is still the best ever. we had our first service project and it was basura (garbage). we had to clean out the bathrooms and swept leaves that came back in .01 seconds. but hey serving others brings blessing and that what im here for. me elder heywood, elder monsen and my companion have spiffed up the room since last week. we added our "sacred wall" also called laventana santa "the holy window" which makes up all of our most sacred items. Family, friends, and our most sacred item the rarest Mtn. dew called Game Fuel.    We started our first TRCs. we gave a 25 minte lesson to a guy named Jaime. he loves his family and hiking, he speaks "no english". ive been here for 2 weeks and im trying to convert someone to the church in spanish. Elder Allen and i had been freaking out all week about it. we fasted, worked and prayed all week for this lesson. i can't believe how good he ...

Hola mi familia y mis amigos!!! This week was crazy i have never worked this hard in my entire life. i've learned more spanish in a week at the MTC than i had the last two years taking it in high school. my district is THE COOLEST district in the world, we have exercise time everyday here and some elders thought they were hot stuff. me and my companion took over the court and absolutely humbled them. i have been absolutely blessed with elder Allen he had been an amazing example to me along with the rest of my district. Elder Allen is the funniest person i have ever met, he is like stupid funny. we have a room of four including elder Heywood from texas and elder Monsen. its pretty much like a quad companionship, we have all became really close and open to each other i'd just like to tell my bois that we're adding 3 more to the group (1 of 12) it feels like ive known them my whole life and its not just them like my whole district in general is just so awesome and obedient! on...
