Hola Amigos, Oh gizzards! Every week here has something new to teach me! Some very sketchy things happened and also some spiritual things. First of all I have to say that I'm happy to be alive at this moment because I was basically in a drive by shooting on Monday night. We were walking home from the Texaco around 9. The streets were empty. but we heard a series of 4 or 5 pops It stopped and then started again! I had a feeling that they were gunshots but my comp told me they were just fireworks. Ha, Funny bruh! Well about 15 seconds later a massive diesel came drifting around the corner one side off the ground literally. It was hauling. As it passed the guy in the passenger seat was leaning out the window holding a massive gun and pointing it towards us. Luckily he didn't shoot, but me and my comp started running as fast as we could and my adrenaline was pumping! A few seconds later a cop truck flew by with 5 dudes standing in the back with guns. When we got to safety my comp told me he knew that those were gunshots he just didn't want to scare me. Anyway, now i get sketched every night if i see a big truck. I am getting better at contacting and talking to the people about the gospel, but if its a normal conversation I have no idea what's up. While we were contacting this week there was a parrot chillin in front of one of the houses. We dont knock cause they don't have doors. We just yell buenas! and when we said that the parrot yelled "Buenas" back. It was dope! I went on splits again, this time with Elder Banda in Juticalpa this week. We contacted and taught this kid names Alex. he is 17, can't read, and works every single day from 3 in the morning to 7 at night. Anyway, after our lesson he said he wanted to be baptized and go to church. I wish he was our investigador. Later that night the 4 of us got back together and went to dinner. This was no ordinary dinner bruh. This was dope. We went to a crepery man! It was so nice inside, decorated all hipsteresque and stuff. I had a nutella waffle with whipped cream, strawberries, and bannanas on it. And some hot chocolate. It was the most beautifull sight I'd seen in a while, and it was gooood too. I will never eat something like that again here. I couldn't take a pic cause right as I was taking the pic my cam died. On friday we woke up at 2:30 and rode in a bus for 4 hours to a multizone in Tegucigalpa. It was all day and I couldn't understand anything. I fell asleep during the meeting. I woke up to all the other missionaries laughing at me. About 4 other kids fell asleep too. I got to see Elder Bowen and Briggs, but sadly not Elder Lars. We had a baptism scheduled and ready to go I'm talking font filled bruh this week. We just needed to interview the girl. We waited for her at the church but she never came, so we went to her house and she wasn't there. Her sister said she ran away to Tegucigalpa. Dang. I was excited to have my first baptism. I had the most uncomfortable dinner appointment at a member's house last night. The food was good, but there was this meat. I didn't know what it was but I had to eat it. I put a big peice in my mouth expecting some normal stuff you know, but no. It took me about 3 to 4 minutes to chew and swallow the first bite. It was sooo awkward because everyone knew I had been chewing that bite for ages. I was sweating and really uncomfortable. I was sitting right next to the dad who grilled it too. Man I'm glad thats over. I thought I better share a scripture with you guys so here it is . 2 Nephi 10:23-24. Basically what I got from this scripture is that we have a choice--the winning team or the loosing team. The gospel never loses. I think this is why people who live the gospel are so happy, because they are living knowing that in the end they will win. Alright guys, have a good day. and also have a great day! peace! Elder Sullivan
