Hola familia y amigos!
Well this week we were supposed to have a baptism for Rosa, an older lady that showed up by herself at church a couple of weeks ago, but this entire past week we didn’t find her at home, so we have it planned for this next weekend. I'm kind of anxious to leave my area. It’s been kind of hard getting people to go to church and to progress but we are trying our hardest. Familia Salinas is always awesome. We watched the video of the restoration with them and they really liked it. They have to get divorced and married before they can get baptized, which could take a while, but hopefully they can do it in the future.
This week we found a couple new investigators. One was Jackie, who we call "firecracker". When we showed up for the first appointment she was talking like crazy and jumping from one topic to another. We contacted her because we were talking with a member who told us she felt like we should contact her. Then on Saturday we went back and taught her in the church before our English class. We took her on a little tour and you could tell she was feeling the Spirit. We taught lesson one and she was quiet the entire time, but you could tell she felt something. Her only problem is understanding prophets, but hopefully we can help her testimony get stronger.
We found another guy that we will most likely drop because the two times we went over there he talked the entire time and didn’t let us talk. He was "teaching" us something I have never heard before that in the near future all the Bibles will be gone and no one will have one, and only then will we need a prophet. It was interesting. Well Gina is doing great and her husband is getting better. She told us one day that they spent the entire day together, so it was really nice to hear that he is changing.
So the title today refers to when we went with Irene this week. I don’t know if I told you about her before but she is this big black lady who moved here from Trujillo and was inactive and we have been helping her get reactivated. She needs to get married, and her husband said he would like me to be there when they do, but I’m leaving soon. :( Well she wanted the hymns on CD so she could listen to them so I got her the CD’s and she freaked out! She was jumping up and down, super happy and super excited and she pulled me and my comp into a big hug! It was really funny, haha! Yesterday was the Christmas devotional and everyone in Honduras was told it would start at 6pm, which it did in Utah, but here was at 7pm! We took investigators and some recent converts and it was great. One convert, Manuel, told me afterward 'very good' in English. He really enjoyed it and it helped his testimony grow about the prophet. Well this week is my last full week here. We have the Christmas Multizona this week, which should be fun. Hope everyone has a great week!
Con amor,
Elder Neher
