Hey there family,
Time keeps flying by here in the office. I
really can`t believe that i`ve been here for 5 and a half months
already. Things have been pretty hectic as always...but a little more
these days. The office got remodeled, not sure why...it seemed fine how
it was. But they knocked down a few walls and put up some others and it
took about two or three weeks for the construction to get over with. It
was pretty hard to keep any order in the place. it was just a huge
relajo. Its changes week this week, this change went by suuuuper fast.
hard to believe. Today all the new latins come from the MTC in
Guatemala, the gringos come tomorrow in the afternoon...its kind of fun
to think about where i was about 10 months ago when i was getting ready
to leave the MTC. President has hardly been around lately, he`s been
getting his house ready for President Fortuna. They are all moved out
and living in an apartment now. President Flores leaves the 30th in the
afternoon and president Fortuna comes the 29th at night. We are all
pretty excited to meet him, but sad at the same time to see Pres. Flores
leave. I have learned so much from this man and he has had a huge
impact on my life. I am eternally grateful.
On Friday we had a ward activity, we watched 17 miracles in the
church. It was a decent turn out, about 30 people showed up. We told
everyone it started at 5pm but were werent planning on starting til
6...and it everyone showed up exactly at 6...i call it la hora
catracha...basically Honduran standard time is to show up an hour late
haha. The activity went really well though, everybody was really
impacted by the movie and the majority had tears in their eyes. A couple
nonmembers showed up so it was a success from the missionary point of
view. All the people who showed up want to do this activity again. It
was really really cool how it all worked out. We were planning on
borrowing the projector from the Stake, but the Stake pres. wouldnt let
us so we had to scramble around and we found a member that lent us her
Projector (i think that this is one of the only areas in the mission
where someone in the ward just happens to have something like that
laying around and are willing to lend out haha) and we also borrowed
some speakers from other members...The people here are really blessed to
be able to have this kind of economic stability. It has been kind of
tough finding new investigators this week, but we are really working
hard and trying to be creative about it all.
On saturday we went over to play basketball at president`s basketball
court for P`day. its the first time i have played basketball in a
really really long time haha. I am horrible hahh.
ALSO, i got the
package from john! thank you so much! the speakers are so sweet. its
really nice because my other ones had this annoying buzz all the time. I
am very content.
Anyways, thats about it from down here in HONDURAS. thank you for all
the support, your prayers are felt. casi no puedo creer que ya tengo un
año de estar aqui en la misiòn. el tiempo està volando y todos dicen que
el siguiente año es màs ràpido aùn. Les amo mucho y epero que todos
estèn bien. Que dios les bendiga y les cuide.
ADIOS!
con mucho amor,
Elder ARchibald
