Well, I just spent this week getting to know my area better and my comp too. There's not that many people in the ward here, but its a really nice community. Everyone has money and cars and nice phones. BUT once you step out of the gates its straight thug town. The bishop and the members are really cool and laid back too, I dig it. The only problem is that this area is hard to baptize. It's like some parts in the states where they have their money and don't want anything to do with religion.
I´ve gotten to know my comp better. He´s really nice and we'll be spending another change here in Tiloarque. The young men and women here are dope!! I've gotten to play soccer volleyball and even basketball with them. There's a park in our area. It's really green by a river and surrounded by mountains and stuff. Everyone down there smokes weed and drinks alcohol. There's a bolo that everyone calls Chico. He always chases us and says he's gonna kill us, but all the people defend us and say they are messengers from God so you can't hurt them. He did grab my neck one time and said that I had ants and bugs on my neck and that he had to kill them, but I'm pretty sure he was hallucinating. I had to give a talk yesterday in church about missionary work. They told me late the night before so I didn't have long to prepare, but it went good if you asked. My comp is cool, the area is chill, fun good members. I think I'm gonna like it here. We just need to baptize. We already have a few people to put dates with this week so we'll see what goes down. Have a great week guys! Elder Sullivan

Christian and his comps were pretty bummed about the change. Well this week was Crazy!!! A gill of things happened, I have to say! We had our last Multizone with Fermie. It was dope and I learned a lot of things that I can do to be a better missionary. Things were going great in the week. We found some goooood investigators that for sure are going to be baptized in the next month. We were having so much fun in the trio and working super hard at the same time. Garcia taught me how to talk more honduran and I basically got the accent down. But..... My friends, the story goes downhill from here.. Thursday night after the last appointment Elder Santay got a call. It was The ZLs telling me that I had an emergency transfer. An elder went to his house because he couldn't recover from his injury fast enough. I had to pack all my stuff that night and be there at 8 in the morning the next day. I had no time to say goodbye to the members or investigators. I was really baggy (sad) . Well, I still am a tad bit. New Area: Tiloarque. Same district. same zone. Comp: Elder Flores, Ecuador, 19, really chill cool guy if you asked. So it's been a little tough making the changes, but things are improving gill by gill. I talked to my homies Santay and Garcia and we are making plans to do interchanges so I can see the members and investigators to say bye. I've got some fotos from the good old trio and some other stuff. Ola in Spanish means Wave. Orar, Leer, Asistir. Pray, read, attend church. We must constantly be doing these things or our faith will decrease. A testimony isn't something that we get and we automatically have it the rest of our lives. It's just not like that. We have to read the scriptures, pray, go to church to maintain and to grow our testimony. If we aren't improving it is going down. Peace out! Have a good week! Last Conference with our mission president, Elder Fermin. Johnny Rockets!!
Dope week! I love being in a trio! It's more fun and we can work more efficiently in our area by doing divisions with members. I've gotten to know more about Elder Garcia. He's a dope guy! He was born in La Ceiba but moved to Roatan when he had 2 years. Roatan is an island here in Honduras. Then 2 or 3 years ago he moved back to La Ceiba. He said he used to go snorkeling every day with his homies. They would just pack their goggles in their backpacks and head straight for the beach after school. Really coool man! This week was long I have to say. I was with a different person on divisions every day! We have a lot of investigators with the same problem. They need to get married. It's the hardest thing to dooo especially because some are poor, but we are trying hard to make it happen. We went to a Stake Priesthood Meeting. They talked about the plan of the area in Central America, the law of chastity, and persevering to the end. It was really good. There's a scripture in 2 of Corinthians that talks about temptations. It says we will never receive a temptation that we aren't able to defeat. That God always gives us an exit. PRAYER. It's the key to resist any temptation we may have. Have a good weeek!!!!

Aight aight guys I´m back! How ya feelin? I´m feelin dope right now because we baptized 2 more homies this week. I have pics but this computer can´t send them, so i'll send them next week. We are expecting even more tisms for this month!
I did divisions with my homie Fallas again. And I'll be doing intercambios with him this week. He's a dope guy he said he's gonna visit Utah after the mish so I'll prob get to see him. Also I hope to visit him in Costa Rica one day. It would be dope. We just received a new missionary that got taken out of Nicaragua. We'll be rollin in a trio these days. His name is Elder Garcia. He's really tall, has 4 months in the mish, and is from La Ceiba (Honduras) It´s going to be really different. Also, we don´t have an extra closet or bed for him in our house we'll see what goes down with this bro. I don´t know what else to tell you guys. I don´t have my mini journal with me to tell you what went down this week. And I can´t remember cause the time is haulin in this area! Love you guys have a gooooooood week!! |
