Honduras

Thanks for the pictures. They are hilarious! But I still like them a lot. I´m excited to hear about Jacob. I was wondering if he was going to go out again. And that´s awesome about Braden. He will love it here. Maybe he´ll run into some of the elders from my district. They are all staying here. Things here are crazy. There´s so much to do before we leave. Which I cannot believe. I leave on Monday I think. (send my package to my mission home and then I´ll email you my next address sometime next week. I don't know when I will be able to email next time. I think next monday when I get to Honduras but I´m not sure). I feel ready but at the same time I just want to stay here. I am comfortable here and love being here. But as usual, when I get comfortable with my surroundings, the Lord changes things up on me. So my next adventure is coming up really fast. Yesterday we went out contacting again. This time it was just me, Hna Anderson and Hna Pettit. And it was really cool. We talked to a lot of really nice people and then some people who didn´t care for what we were doing. It was still good. There are people just waiting for this gospel. I understood a lot more than I thought I would and could respond to at least some of the things they said. Not all but some. I am just really trying to open my mouth and have faith the Lord will fill it with the words I need to say. I am struggling with this and so I have been trying to practice. Yesterday was good practice but I still have so far to go. I know the Lord will fill my mouth but that leap of faith is hard for me to take. So I have been praying for help and trying to excercise faith. We gave away 2 book of Mormons yesterday and got 7 peoples addresses. We even taught most of the first lesson. So that was awesome. I would say it was a pretty successful day! We left that zone better than it was before we came. One of the elders said that army of God was coming their way. And how true that was. We are certainly God´s army. I have a question for dad and karson and I guess the whole family. Hna Pettit wants to know what the Priesthood means in your lives. And I have been thinking a lot about it too so I want to know. I´ll gather some thoughts this week and in my next email tell them to you. And tell me what you think. And about my credit card. I talked to Pres Steimle and he said that the bank might not be excepting it because I´m not in the U.S. So could you maybe go in and tell them. I need my card to work. I have tried it a lot and each time it denies me. And i have no money right now... So I really need it to work in case I have some emergency. Youre a joint holder so he thinks you can just go in and fix it. If not, maybe call here and tell them about it and I can call the bank. Pres Steimle said if it doenst work still he can lend me some money but I don't want to do that. So please try something. I don´t know what´d going on. I guess I should have figured that out before I left. Sorry. And will you call here even if you get it fixed just so I know? If you don't would you call too? You are amazing! And thanks for those quotes! I love them. And thanks for telling me about my gift of charity. I guess I never realized that was one of my gifts but I´ll try to live up to that. I actually wrote in my journal about wanting to develop that gift. It is a great gift! So I absolutely love sundays! This sunday Pres Steimle taught us about our purpose. ANd he said something that stuck out to me. He said this church is the church of happy endings. By living this gospel you can´t not be happy. Everything about it is happy. And I loved that. I knew that but it really hit me on sunday. I am going to share this gospel of happy endings with other people. He started out by asking us what we thought Heavenly Father´s vision was for us and what my vision for myself was. I had never really thought about it but i really liked that. Heavenly Father wants me to serve this mission to become more like Him. He could do this without me but becasue he loves us he gives us these opportunities. And my own vision is to invite other to come unto Christ and to share this gospel and to becomes like Him. HE trusts me enough to spread his gospel to the people in Honduras. How awesome is that? I have the Lord´s trust and he wants me to do this work for him. I love that. Anyways I dont have very much more time but I love you all and miss you as usual. But I think I am finally starting to undersatnd all this. And i am very exciteed. I am nervous about next week but it will be awesome. I love you! Tell everyone hi for me.
