Walk this Way

From October 27, 2014

This week really was not anything special. I forgot to mention more about my companion. His name is Elder Flores. He is from Comayaguela, Honduras. He is a convert of 3 years and the only member in his family. He has one year in the mission. He's a cool guy.

 I went on interchanges twice this week. During one of them I went to two cantóns called Sabana Grande and El Carrizal. These places are far. They have transport. The transports are old trucks. The trucks are big and in the bed they have it all caged in. I'm not a huge fan of Salvadoranian public transportation. There are always way too many people and I am always hunched over because the ceiling is about as tall as where neck is. Just picture it. A tall white giant stuffed into a 1980's school bus with the ceiling at a height of 5 feet 10 inches with 200 Salvadorians. Super fun. That is one thing I will not miss when I leave the mission. Anyways on the way back from Carrizal we walked. It is a long ways. We walked for over an hour to get back to the city. 

We saw a really cool miracle this week. We left with a member to go contact a reference. The reference wasn't there. We told her that we wanted to go visit someone else that she knew. We always ask her for references but she always says there isn't anybody. But we finally got her to take us to someone. She told us that mayber her cousin would recieve us. Her cousin had listened to the missionaries before. We went and she recieved us. The second appointment was cool. We were explaining how Christ's church was lost. I asked her if she knew which was the same church that Christ set up. She said,"The Church of Jesus Christ." "Yeah I know but which church is that church," I replied. She responded, "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints." After I picked up my jaw off the floor I asked her how she knew that. She told us that it was because she had prayed and feels like that is the right church. So we invited her to be baptized. She accepted very enthusiastically. Honestly I am still having troubles believing that actually happened. She is going to get baptized in November. It is important to find the people that are ready and chosen. Chapter 9 of PMG talks abou that. 

Thanks so much everybody!

And a special shoutout to my sister Jane who turned 18 on Saturday! Guys, I believe she is single.
