San Pedro Sula Zone Conference with Elder Cordón
Hola! How is everyone doing?
This week was an action packed week. First, on Wednesday, we had our mission conference, and Elder Cordón of the Seventy. He did a great job teaching and I really enjoyed the conference. He talked about our calling as missionaries, and that we are called not by men, but of God. Because of our call, he said we should be fearless in preaching the Gospel. He used the analogy of Moses, when he was called by God, and was shown all things in the heavens and earth. Afterwards, Satan appeared to him and told him to worship him. Moses basically said, ¨How could I just see all of those spectacular things and bow down and worship you?¨ Satan then began to call in terrible storms. Moses then sent him out in the name of Christ.
After seeing all those things, Moses was called to lead the
people out of Egypt. He was
prepared and he understood and realized that man is nothing. Elder Cordon told us that we shouldn´t
fear our supposed ¨Egypts¨ in the mission, because man is truly nothing. I hope I explained his teachings. He did a great job teaching us.

This Saturday, Norma was baptized. She is one of our awesome investigators. The ward did a great job of supporting Norma and even did a musical number. Our ward is one of the oldest wards in Honduras and they have great gospel roots. Norma has had it rough. Her family is split between two religions, and for the longest time she wanted nothing to do with either church. For some reason, she opened up toward us and we were excited to teach her. The teachings went very well. There were difficulties, but in the end, it went great. When she bore her testimony in the baptismal service and got emotional, I got a little emotional myself. It was awesome. We are very excited for her.

Great Support From Friends & Family
Happy Day!
Today for pday, we were invited to a family event by our
investigator, Kevin. We made pizzas at
Pizza Hut. Kevin works at Pizza
Hut. We had a pizza and spent time
visiting. Unfortunately, they wouldn’t
let us take pictures in the kitchen, so no pizza making pictures.

We also went to the Copan Hotel here in San Pedro. It feels like
a hotel in the states. They had an event there so we went to see what was going
on. Next Monday, we are going there
for the breakfast buffet, it looks amazing.

Right now, my health is doing fine. I am following a diet to see if it will
help. My health has been up and down and
can change quickly but right now I am doing great.
Overall, it was a awesome week! Have a great day!
