So
this week we were able to make some really good progress with the
investigators and drop a couple that weren't going to progress. We had
some really good lessons and were able to answer a lot of their questions
and doubts that they had! As opposed to a zero assistance of
investigators in church last Sunday we were able to get 8 this Sunday! I
think that might be a record in the mission for me. It was so awesome
and Ririe and I were so stoked to have that many! The members are
actually starting to help us out more here and its awesome cause 2
members brought new investigators to the church that already have
interest! Were gonna go visit them this week!!
We
had a super sweet contact this week and one of the most favorite Ive
had in my mission. We got out of a VAP or a lesson with a member and
then as we went outside we saw these 2 kids like around 16 playing a
guitar on the corner or learning how to. So as we were walking past
them I felt like them holding that guitar was like a sign from God
saying talk to them. Contact them. So I asked them how it was going,
and if they could play the guitar good. They said no but were learning
and they asked me if I could play I said somewhat and I sat between them
both and started playing a couple of songs. It was super cool and we
hit it off just like that! They are also super interested in learning
English so we invited them to the English classes that we are giving as
missionaries and they said they were going to show up! It was also
super cool cause they kind of just opened up to us and talked to us and
told us that they arent like regular Honduran people here. And many
people think that they are a little weird or not the norm. They said
they dont like to do bad things. They dont like going to bad parties,
they dont like drinking or smoking or having bad girlfriends. They
were just like we like to do good things and help people and stop
bullying. We find greater joy in doing good things. So that was
shocking to hear from 2 kids here. Weve already taught them twice in
the church and they love the message of the Restoration! See what
happens with them! But pretty cool being able to contact them by
playing the guitar!
Also got to go with my comp
to another baptismal interview he did but we had some time like 30
minutes before the interview started so we were walking to it and I
heard something very familiar. Then I realized that it was a baseball
bat hitting a baseball. So we looked over and saw some dudes playing
around with 2 mitts a baseball bat and a ball. I havent seen a baseball
in like a whole year! So we went over and were watching through the
fence then the ball came to us so I threw it back and they invited us
over to play with them. It was so fun hitting the ball and throwing
with some guy on a baseball team. Ive missed it so much and honestly
been wanting to throw for like 8 months now. It was so fun!! We
invited all these dudes to church as well.
Also
we have like 4 couples right now that we are working with to get
married. Such a barrier here in Honduras. Satan sure has worked here
to make marriage so difficult to do and has made it custom to the people
that marriage is unimportant and unnecesary. So ya were trying to help
all of them to get a testimony strong enough of the church so they know
they have to get baptized and have to get married so they can get
baptized. Its tough but we'll keep on working with them! But please
pray for all of them that they might be able to gain a strong testimony
of the church and that the Lord will open up the means for them to get
married!
Have a
great week and Im so excited for this general conference! It is going
to be a memorable and special one for sure. The Lord has lost three of
his 15 finest servants in the world right now. These 3 apostles have
served well in all their callings they have ever had and God has called
them back to his kingdom. This General Conference we will have the
opportunity to find out who the Lord has chosen and called to be his new
apostles and we will have the opportunity to sustain them. May each one
of us take the time necessary to prepare ourselves for General
Conference and prepare ourselves to be able to receive the word that the
Lord wants us to hear. The things we need to know at this time in our
lives to be the best members and people we can be. We will receive what
we put into it. It is also a great time to invite others who arent
members to listen to a living prophet with us and invite them to learn
more about our church. Take advantage of this time to share the only
true, complete gospel of Jesus Christ with your friends and loved ones!
Also make sure to go with a question in your heart and I promise that
it will be answered in this conference! I love all you guys and miss
you tons! Have a great week!
Love Elder Hunt
