What's up guys welcome to July and the 2nd half of the black out year time is currently cooking rn so thats always good, missing 4th of July however not good. I never cared for the holiday before the mission but now WOOOOO might cut the mission short just to make the next one
Nah but after 2 years outside the states I will never
disrespect the states again that place fr is holy ground
ALSO shoutout to the new mission presidents the
Christensens. Apparently president has read every single email I've sent out so
thats kinda scary so WHATSUP PRESY if you reading this. I wouldn't mind elder
jorgensen as my comp
But speaking of president reading my emails we worked SO
hard this week i cant even describe. Obedience also🆙️🆙️🆙️🆙️
my son has never been trained so good
Elder Shanklin & Companion
But fr we had some miracles this week. Lots of family's
appearing and a random grandson spawning in who wanted to get baptized. He's
now on date for the 20th so hype.
Elders are having a good time
Coolest story might be that in the mission we are ALWAYS
told the work always matters cause we are planting seeds. Maybe someone rejects
us but in 2 or 3 years they remember the encounter and talk to the
missionaries. Basically its just to motivate us to always keep working. We'll
about 2 months ago in the same area I'm in we visited a family that was
inactive and not even on the map. Just a random contact. The mom however had
not been baptized. She loved the church and had assisted for 5 years in the states
before coming back to honduras
She said the church had different vibes here and
didn't want anything to do with it. Well this week I had the feeling to stop be
her house for the first time in 2 and a half months. I sent my comp and DL over
cause we were doing divisions and they told me she was so open to the church
and wanted to come on Sunday and get baptized. We visited her on Saturday night
and it was alot more enthusiasm then when I had visited her 2 months ago. Turns
out the mission president's right. People always change. Womp womp tho she
didn't come to church but I got hopes still, all her kids are already baptized
and they want to start coming to church too. Anyways pretty dope.
That's the week so far. Transfers coming up but I bet im
staying
