WEEK 70 & 71 - MACHETES

For some reason we take lots of pics with cows, hopefully they accept the Gospel too.

We went and chopped an investigators yard, filled with 3 ft high weeds. Lots of blisters came as a result.

SNOW!!!! (From a member's air conditioning unit haha)

Me, my comp, and the Ward Mission Leader's son. "Son" sitting on my lap, haha!

The clouds fall like that for some reason in the mornings, looks pretty sweet!

 We had divisions with the ZLs this week. This is Elder Hernandez, from Peru. Probably the happiest guy I've ever met. Whenever I ask him how he's doing, his response is "Super Feliz compa(man)." We both finish the mission in June.

Us writing, LIVE.

Hello from Villanueva.  A weather update for everyone in the States.  It has actually been a little chilly at night.  I have had to sleep with socks on.  I have no idea how I'll survive in college, haha.

We continue to have a really big pool of investigators right now and we enjoy working with them.  This week, we were able to teach a really cool family.  We were also able to have a lot of investigators come to church this week, which was a huge blessing.  God has answered our prayers.  We have 5 people with baptismal dates within the next month and we are excited for them.

Also, this week, we went and “chopped” an investigator's yard with machetes.  She had a ton of really tall weeds and grass covering her yard, so we went and helped her out early one morning.  I have lots of blisters now but it was great to serve her.

I hope all is well.  Have a great week and thank everyone for their support.

Love,

Elder Cox

WEEK 69 - HALLOWEEN

A fruit called lichas, pretty sure they don't exist in the States. That was Halloween, strutting my Halloween tie...

I slept on the ground for divisions so my comp could have a bed.

We had a great week and the work is going well. Elder Murray's Spanish is getting better every day. He is doing really well.  We had a really spiritual experience yesterday. Last night, we were going to visit an investigator. We were going to arrive a little late because the appointment was really far away. We had tried to call her, but she didn't answer her phone.  We had the impression that we should invite a specific member to visit the investigators with us. We followed the thought and it turned out that one of the investigators in that house was having some concerns. She was going to tell us not to come back, but somehow, because the member came with us, she told us it was great and we have a family home evening planned with her family for tonight!  We would have lost some pretty cool investigators had we not followed the impressions of the Spirit at that time.

I am trying to plan activities for the district so that we continue to feel unified.  We did not do anything for Halloween.  The only thing I did was wear a Halloween tie. No one celebrates in Honduras.

We have been working really hard and now we are seeing results.  It's been awesome.  I am excited to take advantage of everyday I have in Honduras!!

Thank you for your emails and notes.  I appreciate it!
