Hola familia y amigos!
Well this week was once again another tough one for us. Especially Saturday and Sunday, but we are hanging in there. Now that I think about it, it was a really slow week, we didn’t really have a lot of success, and Puerto is huge and we spend a lot of time walking everywhere trying to find people to teach. We have been doing a lot of walking and it has been really hard to find new people to teach, and a lot of people are just not home, we have been trying to get people to church and to get people to progress, but it’s just been really hard. We have some investigators that can get baptized, but there are things missing, we have Karl, who is this guy from Belize who speaks English and Spanish, and he loves the church and everything, but still has his catholic roots, but he said for New Years he wants to start by reading the BoM! Hopefully we can get him baptized by the end of the month. Yorleni is willing and everything, but we don’t feel like she has a strong testimony of the church yet. There is also a family we are teaching that want to get married and baptized, and they wanted to this month on the 20th, but the wife works 4x4 and this entire month she will be working weekends, so we had to move them to February.

Well this week we had drunk guys hug us and start speaking in English and Spanish, and I overheard one say "don’t trust the Germans" haha! We contacted a lot this week, including some old guys that let us in and we tried to teach them, but they talked the entire time. Oh, we also taught a Jehovah´s Witness, and she "won". I can tell that she was very sure of herself and how right she was and how wrong we were. I have encountered many of them here in Hondo and they are very stubborn, so with them you have to just bear testimony and leave, because they are so stubborn and won’t allow anyone to change them. I bore testimony talking about prophets and she said we shouldn’t put our trust in the arm of flesh and only the bible, then I bore my testimony saying that I had prayed to know if these things are true and that they are, and she said "that’s great that you prayed, BUT you should probably study the Bible a little more if you really want to understand the truth" I was a little taken off guard, but whatever. I tried really hard not to Bible bash them because it is so easy to do. So yeah that’s basically what’s going on.
I couldn’t sleep the 31st because everyone was exploding firecrackers all night long, and it gave me a huge headache, and church attendance was 59, when it is normally 120, and we only had church for an hour cause the bishop decided to. So it’s been pretty interesting haha. Puerto was dead yesterday, there was no one anywhere, and everyone was sleeping, so yesterday was really slow, but we´re keeping in there. Hopefully this week will be better, and we should have some success if everything goes well. This year went by super fast, and it’s incredible to think of everything that happened this year. A great year and all of it in Honduras! Thanks for everything and hope everyone has a great week!
