For all those who are keeping up with Honduras weather we
had a HUGE storm hit us this week. I think some people died and lots of
building and or mudslides but I was unaffected so the grind continues well
actually idk if you can call this week a grind I think we did negative
missionary work
DRUNK GUYS
I did an exchange with our district leader on Tuesday and he
also lives on in our house so basically after lunch he was like "yo wanna
go on an exchange" and i said heck yah and boom two white guy strolling
down Honduras roads. Nothin too much happened except we got stopped by this guy
owning a barber shop who was WASTED. There was actually three of them. one dude
was struggling to stand, the other had bright red eyes and was smoking a
cigarette, and the third was drinking straight alcohol. I think every drug
illegal and illegal was being consumed here. But we talked with them for a sec
and gave them a pamphlet about Jesus taught them that Utah was next to
California (they'll never know) and boom we outta there.
Elder Shanklin and Elder Cruz were asked if they were Jehovah's Witness this week.
Surprise...they are not
STORM🏄♂️🏄♂️
K so it basically dumped rain for 3 days straight AND I WAS
FOR IT I love rain but rain means everybody just wants to sleep all day so its
bad for missionary work. Our president also sent a text saying to not take any
risks and stay inside and work through the phone if needed... I wouldn't call it
disobedient but monopoly deal and some ukulele lessons went crazy that day.
Also the day before and the day after my comps lungs were dying and then my
lungs started dying but we chill now🤙
HECTOR
one day this random kid at 8pm yelled "ELDER
SHANKLIN" this was shocking cause not only did this kid say it right but
no way he remembered me. Update i still never talk to people (I'm trying) so i
was shook that i had a lasting impact or smth. We ended up talking a bit about
his homework assignment due tmrw and if i liked Ronaldo or Messi, I let the fans
guess on that one. But anyways towards the end of the lesson my comp ask where
he lives and then pulls out our app that we keep tabs on everybody. He showed us
his house, my comp tapped on the icon there, and then asked if (blank) was his
dad. The kid got wide eyed and then looked at me and asked "did you tell
him?" "how does he know my dad?". I looked at him dead in the
eye and said "its the power of god". immediately his eyes shot up and
he pointed at the sky and did the little hand signal on the chest and head
while gasping super loud. I then said if we comes to church he can have this
power (not false) so basically new baptism coming up
A snow cone to keep Elder Shanklin happy
That's mostly it this week not a ton of missionary work
accomplished but got Christmas comming up so hope that gets the train moving
