It seems like it has been an eternity since i have been able to write! I'm out in my new area Equipulas. It is 5-6 hours outside of the capitol, practically by Honduras. Actually, my trainer said that it use to be part of Honduras. There is a famous cathedral here that has the carving of Jesus that turned black. So lots of Catholics here believe that God is black. Very funny.
I still only get an hour to write so hopefully i will have time to write everything. I also left my notebook at the apartment so i cant remember everything I wanted to write about. Anyways, the area here is good. Its pretty hot but not like Zacapa or Porte Barrios. There is only a branch here. Yesterday was my first day at church. The Branch President is hilarious, i love him. There are a lot of good people here that want to help us and some that don't but we are going to fix that. On Friday i think, we finally did some contacting in the street and I saw some little girls in front of their door, so I said hello and my comp asked if their mom was home. They invited us in and we talked with the grandma that was there. My companera asked her if she knew who we were and she said yes I know her...me. It was strange, I don't really know all of what she said but my comp said that she recognized me. After the lesson my comp asked her if she would pray to know that we are messengers of Jesus Christ and she said Hermana I don't need to, I have no doubts that you are his messengers. My comp said that a lot of people here say that they have had dreams or visions and so lots of missionaries think that they are crazy but the president said that because they are descendants of Lehi, they have that gift and to never dismiss what they say about them.
I'm going to send out some pictures finally so hopefully they all come through.
Spanish is really hard right now. Everyone here speaks differently and not everyone pronounces their words correctly so half the time I don't really know what the person is talking about. I don't really get to teach anything, I just go around with my comp right now and listen and then either pray or bear my testimony. Its really hard out here, and every day I want to go home. I have to remind myself every day why I'm out here, because I know it will get better. I miss you all so much and love you.
