Last week, we didn’t get to write because our area is too far
from the church to walk and we couldn't use public transportation. All is well though. The last couple weeks there have been protests
concerning the elections, so we stayed in the house for a few days. It was hard not going out and serving the
people but we used the time to study. I
read the Book of Mormon as well as studied in the New Testament, specifically
in John and Acts. We were going a little
crazy from being inside, but luckily we are out and serving again.
This week was interesting because it was the first chance to
really explore the other parts of our area, now that they split it and put two
missionaries in the other half of the area. We found a huge area of people which we
nicknamed "La Jungla" as well as another part which is farmland,
which we nicknamed "Utah."
This week, I could really feel the Spirit as we taught. We had some great lessons, and through hard
work we were able to find some great investigators. We went to visit one man and his family, whose
wife we had contacted earlier, and we taught a lesson. When we got there, the husband came out and
was determined on not letting us in. After
talking and explaining things for a few minutes outside his gate, we got to the
topic of Joseph Smith (rumors often spread that we worship Joseph Smith). He let us in to discuss it, but with the understanding
that he was not going to come to our church.
I really felt the Spirit when my companion and I bore testimony
of the Book of Mormon and of Joseph Smith as a prophet. He did not once more mention that he went to
another church, but rather accepted the Book of Mormon and thanked us for
visiting him. I saw on several
occasions, yesterday alone, how bearing testimony of the Restoration really
invites the Spirit. I know that His
church is true and I am proud to represent the Church of Christ in Honduras.
Thanks for all the Love and Support, and Merry Christmas!!
