La comida de Honduras tiene mi corazón.(The food from Honduras has my Heart)

Hola y'all

How's it going? This was a pretty good week.

Well, we inherited the Elders area and all their people, so that means we have a baptism on Saturday of Sean. He is so so awesome and we are so happy that we get to teach him.

Esmeralda is getting baptized on September 14. She comes from a part member family and is just the sweetest human. Her family was sealed when she was 6 and now she is 13 and she just wants to be baptized. It has been something she's wanted for so long but her family all works on Sunday. We got her a ride to church and she was just glowing honestly. She was so happy to be there. This week we had a really sweet lesson with her. We were teaching the plan of salvation. We had one of the young women leaders and her daughter there. As we were teaching the Spirit was so strong that really nobody wanted to even say anything. As we talked about Jesus Christ and his role in the plan, she just started crying because she thought it was so sad. She was just so grateful that Christ would do that for her.

Other than that, as we were weekly planning we felt like we needed to really clean out our teaching pool and find some new people. We are now ready to go and find who the Lord is preparing.

We focused a lot on the members this week and that was really awesome. There are a couple of Hispanic members from the other ward that just moved their record in (which we've wanted since they got here and WAHOOO.) We went over and did a family home evening. Ah that was so fun. We ate baleadas from Honduras. She taught us how to make our own tortillas. I love their family.

We also had enchiladas from Honduras with the Perez family. I always thought Mexican food was my favorite from the mission... But I think the members may have converted me to Honduras this week. (Just kidding, Mexico still takes the cake.)

Well I love being a missionary. I love that I get to share the gospel and I am so grateful for my Savior Jesus Christ. This week I got a blessing and it honestly was one of the biggest testimonies I have received in my life that God knows us each personally. He knows our worries and all our concerns and he wants to help us.

Con mucho amor
