Hello again. Soo things are starting to heat up here in Santa Cruz. I
think the cold fronts are done for now and here comes Semana Santa upon
us once more. Last one here in Honduras. I wish you all could feel the
heat. But it shouldnt be too unbearable cause its not as humid here up
in the mountains. Just high 90s this week haha. So there were changes
this week but no one here got changed however in our zone we got 4
brand new greenies that came in and plus the 1 that is still in training
which is a total of 5. Thats the most Ive ever seen in any of my
zones. Should be fun.
So this Tuesday we put a
baptismal date with a family of 3 the Familia Ricarte for the 26th they
went to church this week again and loved it! Things are going really
good with them she just has a little problem with Coffee and they just
need to pray a little more, but they like the church a lot so please
pray for them that they can make the sacrifices necessary to be baptized
in the only living and true church. On Wednesday we went to changes and
got the Newbies and also said goodbye to my good buddy and comp Elder
Purcell hes the last of my old comps that I have here in the mission and
now its me. Feels weird. Also said goodbye to Colindres and Alfaro
and some other good buddies. Everyones heading home. Crazy stuff.
We
were getting Meidi ready for her baptism on Saturday and went to go
over the baptismal interview questions with her on Thursday and got to
the Word of Wisdom and asked if she had taken any coffee and she said no
but something did happen and its that my neighbor offered me a cup of
coffee and I didnt want to be rude to her so I took it and just dipped
bread in it and ate the bread cause I didnt want to offend her but that
doesnt count right? and we were like ughh dang well ya it does count
cause you still had a little bit of coffee and we cant take any. So it
was a good learning experience for her and her family to know that 0
coffee is allowed and we just pushed it back 1 week so it will be this
Saturday and she came to church this Sunday and was happy so everything
should be just fine! So please pray for her as well as shes going
through these changes in her life and setting a great example for her
whole family! Thursday night the lights went out so we slept without
fans. It was hott.
Friday
morning we went to the ZL meeting and it was soo fun. Now theres 2
more ZLs from my group that came from the MTC now we just need the other
2 to come up and will be complete! It would be soo cool! Im hoping
that my buddy will come up here to Santa Cruz this next change being as
my comp is finishing this change! It would be Legendary! Ate some Joes
Pizza after the meeting and the chef dude there is from New York and is
soo dope. His food was soo good. Got to sing a little bit of Karoake
Friday night with the Familia Guzman! There legit.
Started
going to the gym this week as well and its actually a pretty nice
place. Makes me feel at home again. Found out that one of our couples
that were trying to get married and baptized (Adanai) are gonna get
married in May! So thats gonna be good! Ill still be here which will
be awesome! Bummer for my comp as hes leaving but good thing is that
theyre gonna get married! Just gotta wait a little!
Definitely
one of the coolest things this week was on Sunday during the 3rd hour
when all the priesthood were together cause our Convert David who got
baptized a month ago was able to receive the Aaronic Priesthood and be
ordained to the office of Priest! So this next week he should be
blessing the sacrament as well! Its soo cool to see this stuff and he
was ordained by a Priest and the Preist during the little blessing he
gave after conferring the priesthood blessed him that he would be able to
serve a mission in the future and David has told us multiple times that
hes going! Really such a great guy.
Just
a little thought to finish. I love the scripture that is in 3 Ne
13:33. It basically says Search first for the kingdom of God and his
righteousness and then all these things will be added upon you. I know
this to be true. When we put God first in our lives above all other
things, we will be number 1 for him. He will bless us and give us
everything we need in this life to be happy. Ive seen this time and
time again in my life and the life of my family. The gospel really is
happiness. Its so simple and beautiful. If we compare it to the gym
its like God has given us all the machines and weights and workouts and
diet that we need to do to get ripped. And if we use and apply these
things in our lives and follow the plan.. we will always be happy and
have peace and joy and be spiritually buff like Nephi. I love you all!
Have a great week!
Love Elder Hunt
P.S.
please pray for our investigator Tyron as well this week that he will
be able to put his trust in God and be able to make the sacrifices
necessary to join the church. Hes almost there.. just needs a little
extra love. :)
