Well this week was great. And when I say great I mean super hard and rough and like all the other weeks here in Honduras. I really shouldn’t ever think an easy week is going to come, and really I think an easy week would be super boring and pointless. So this week was hard. Our investigators are... there. Just there. But the good thing is we have people to teach and we have people to help and fast and pray for. The mission isn’t about numbers. That is what I thought for a while that we are just here to baptize as many people as we can and, ya. But no it is about people. These are real people we are teaching. But the beginning of this week I was feeling all good all proud of myself thinking I am doing everything right I am the best ever.... and then Wednesday came and I was feeling all happy and again thinking I am the greatest and well I was there walking on flat ground and out of nowhere I fell to the ground. I think I slipped or something but I slipped on some dirt and glass and it cut up my leg not too bad but it looked super gross. But it humbled me quite a bit. Just from the silly little scratch I was weakened. Like seriously I am nothing. But then the next day we had zone conference and President just let us know what we need to do and I realized I AM NOT THE GREATEST THING IN THE WORLD. I mean seriously I tripped and fell on flat ground and I cannot even talk right in Spanish. But luckily it doesn’t matter the Lord calls the weak and simple and really I have changed, he has changed me. I am happier than I have ever been in my life and I am working harder and doing things that I never imagined I could do. I am nothing without our Heavenly Father. I literally couldn’t possibly even help even a little bit in this work if it wasn’t for Him and the power of the Atonement of His Son as well. Well we are working hard and doing weird things that literally don’t make sense like walking across sewage water rivers to visit a family that lives in the mountains super far away but when we got there was the spirit so strong that that was exactly the place we needed to go. The key in everything that we do as children of God is following the promptings of the spirit. oh and well now I am halfway through this amazing experience. #9months #mitad
