WEEK 74 - STUDY TIME



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!!
