Hola familia,
How has everyone been doing? Things have been really good here
in Honduras. This has been a pretty awesome week. It was my last week in
Jardines de Toncontín, my last day was yesterday actually. I was there
showing one of the Elders who will be there around the area and where
our investigators are and everything. I was pretty sad to leave to be
honest with you, i really loved the area. I was there for about 4 and a
half months, which is how long i was in San Rafael, but the time went by
ten times faster in this area...not sure why. I was expecting to be
here for 8 months haha but now I´m in an area called Nuevo Loarque. Us 4
secretaries will be working there, its a big area and its a wealthier
place from what i´ve heard. Ive actually never been there yet, tonight
will be my first time in the area. I think i´ll be here for another 3 or
4 months.
Things ended really really well in Jardines though, we invited
Yesenia and her son Alexis from la familia Zuniga to be baptized on
monday and we set the date for Saturday. They were both so excited, even
though the rest of the family wasnt going to be able to. We had a
really great baptismal service on saturday, about 25 members showed up
to support them. Thats the most people ive ever had come to a baptism,
it was really great and the spirit was present. After the were baptized,
Alexis and Yesenia bore their testimonies. Alexis said that he wants to
be a missionary and that he is going to start preparing now. The kid is
really really smart and is going to be a huge help to the youth in the
ward, and the mom has such a strong testimony in the restoration. I was
really grateful to be able to participate in their baptism and
conversion.
Also monday in the morning i went to the Honduran DMV...it was a
really weird experience hah. the instructor kept calling on me to
answer questions and explaining how things are different here from in
the states. During the written test he was like reading over my shoulder
and it was pretty funny because he would give me the answers in broken
english. Everything turned out well though and i will be able to drive
starting tomorrow. Its going to be crazy driving in the country...but
dont worry mom, ill be safe and check my mirrors haha.
well thank you for everything! i love you so much! let me know how everyone is doing.
Con mucho amor,
Elder Archibald
