SHOUTOUT TO MY MOMMM HAPPY MOTHERS DAYYY literally the best
mom ever love her so much🔛🔝
LOVE YA MOM!
Now to the week
We had 2 BAPTISMAL DATES YESSSIRRR and they weren't even
planned so thats dope.
Our ZLs this week were like give us a list of all the people
you can put fechas with and we were like uhhh nobody. Welp then we ended the
week with 2 so lets see what happened.
Beautiful Beaches in Honduras
First lady we learned on sunday in ward council that she has
a son who is 9 and isnt baptized and they both are super active members. Like
they both always come to church and activity but the son was just never
baptized. So we message her and are like yo can we visit and she goes sure. Me
and my comp planned to not talk about baptising her son first visit and get to
know them. We walk inside and she gives us some pineapple juice(goated) and the
first thing she says is "what's the purpose of your visit" me being
prepared I go "oh we just want to get to know you" she than responds
kind of laughing "Oh! Cause I really want you to baptize my son" we
were like uhh yep we can do that too. So we grabbed the 3 pamphlets, a book of
mormon, and baptismal interview, threw them at her son and left. Nah jk we
taught him the plan of salvation and put him on date but the mom and son are
both so nice and im so grateful to get to help the family make this happen.

SECOND STORY
So this girl named Camilla is 12 and her whole family is
baptized besides her younger sister. And the missionaries have always visited
her but she's like no I'm not getting baptized till me sister turns 8. Me and
my comp thought the sister was 5 so we were like welp not for us. Well we
visited the family on saturday and baptism came up. We asked when the younger
daughter turns 8 and the mom goes "in june this year!" So me and my
comp were like wait wut. Boom bop bam fecha put. Camilla actually is scared of baptism
cause she doesn't feel ready. She thinks she needs to be perfect to be baptized
but we told her the secret that if she ever wants to actually become more
perfect she gotta get baptized. She still scared but we got some time to help
her

Longer email this week but crazy cause we've been working
hard in the HEAT its so hot here I wanna die. Its step outside and your
completely soaked and dead inside and out but anyways we've been working hard
with little success. Even tho these weren't random people on the street, it was
awesome to see that we've been here to help motivate people. I know god
recognizes effort and something I like to tell people is the blessing always
come after the trials of faith. Work hard, then you can play hard after.
HAVE A GOOD WEEK happy mothers days to all the mothers out
there your awesome
