Querido Familia (Dear Family),
Here we are in the final week of the transfer, it seems twas only yesterday that Elder Velasquez arrived at our pink apartment building... anyways.
This week much has come to pass. This past Sunday was fast Sunday. The meeting was coming to a close, and I jumped up and bore my testimony. I testify a lot during the week, but I still feel a bit nervous sharing in sacrament meeting, especially in Spanish. I finished and sat down, and a dear brother in the ward sat down and informed me that familias pueden ser eternas, no eternos
(Mom here-Families are able to be together forever, but the final syllables need to match, according to whether the noun is masculine or feminine: thus familias eternas there is a little information on Spanish) ...I appreciated the instruction. But the meeting ended great with Deibi Coca getting up and sharing a powerful and simple testimony.
Elder Velasquez and I are doing well. I bought a few veggies to add to our beans and Rice diet. He's not a big fan of the greens, apparently they don´t eat such things in Honduras, but that's ok. I shall press forward, feasting on my cucumbers and carrots...and beans and Rice.
Right now, Elder Velasquez and I are working with a youth named Sambel. He´s 17 and has two sisters who are less actives. He´s reading the Book of Mormon and praying too. The other lesson he told us he prayed about the invitation to be baptized and felt this feeling of peace. I was like, Fruits of the Spirit! peace, joy. He´s still not sure but were gonna help him.
I love you all, have a fantastic week
Love,
Elder Call
