Blessings Come To Those Who Wait.

Hi everyone!


Sadly, I don't have enough time to finish my weekly email during my P-day, so I will have to finish it during my short period of free time before bed tonight. Next week you will likely recieve this week's email and the week after that, next week's email until I can catch everyone up on what I've been doing.


To satisfy you guys for now, I will mention just a handful of things that have happened, and that will happen soon.


Have happened:
 - Sept 15th is Honduran Independence day (as well as independence day for many other Central American countries). Today was surprisingly boring.
 - We had a movie night on Saturday. We watched 17 Miracles and it was pretty cool, even in Spanish.
 - I got a haircut today, my first haircut in Honduras
 - I now have one month here in Honduras!


What will happen:
 - Next P-day we'll have a "Zone Blanca" (White Zone) celebration. Every area in my zone has had or will have a baptism this month/transfer cycle, so we will be celebrating next P-day. There may not be an update about the next week because of that activity that will take up the whole of my day.
 - We will be having a baptism this next Saturday, Victor Manuel has practically been a member for the past 30 years, but because he has no church members we have to baptize him (again, because he was already baptized 30 years ago)
 - My sister's b-day is tomorrow (Sept 19th) and my mom's b-day is one week after that (Sept 26th). Shout out to them and their special accomplishments!!!


I hope you guys can forgive me for this and have patience for next week. I'll try to get this next one out to you asap.

Your Holiday, Not Our Holiday!

Hi friends! This is my first mission email, and wow. I'm here! I've spent 18 years wondering if I would go on a mission, and now I am on my first week! This week I was at home doing online MTC, and I will be in the Mexico MTC (the CCM) by the end of next week. That might also mean that my P-day will be on a different day next week. Anyways, I will try to keep you all updated as often as I can. Sunday I was set apart as a missionary today. I was able to have my immediate family members as well as some grandparents be with me as I became an official missionary. Monday First day of my mission! For some reason this day took two weeks to complete, and it was TERRIFYING. It is a big jump going from few responsibilities to many responsibilities, and I have no idea what's going on.  I was able to meet my first companion - Elder Cushing - today. He is from Murray, Utah and will be going to El Salvador for his mission. I am very excited to get to know him and spend time with him for ...

When Grandparent's Day And Children's Day Collide...

Hi friends!!! Welp, I've now downloaded more general conference talks than I know what to do with. Do you guys think I'll be able to read every talk from 1995 to now during my mission?  I'm currently working my way backwards, starting from this last general conference and going back in time. At the time of writing this email I am ~40% of the way through the October 2022 general conference. At this time I'm not putting much focus into the general conference talks, instead focusing more on learning and memorizing Book of Mormon scriptures because that is the resource I will use most for teaching. During personal study I focus on the lessons and the doctrine (Preach my Gospel and the Scriptures), and outside of personal study I check out new resources and delve into topics I'm interested in. I've been listening to some BYU speeches that my companion gave me, and some of them are really wonderful to listen to. Some talks I've already listened to multiple times e...

Goodbye Forest

Hi friends! I don't have much time to talk because I'm busy packing up my stuff!  That's right friends! I'm outta here! This forest is terrible and I don't like it, so I'm skedadling to another part of Honduras (hopefully a part with less trees) All jokes though (well, besides leaving the area)! I've loved my time in El Bosque and it's been a crazy 4 weeks climbing one mountain to the next dodging mosquitos and mototaxis and baptizing like crazy with Elder Sopon! They've been chaotic, stressful, and fun, but duty is calling me to new places! Now some of you may be saying ... wait a minute! a transfer is 6 weeks, but you've only been here for 4! You are correct, but I've been given a special assignment from the president, and have to leave now. So while it's bittersweet to leave an area so soon after getting there, it is what it is.  After being in two areas for 6 months each, it's a big contrast to only be in an area for 4 weeks. Now ...
