Week 60 - Goodbye Siguatepeque-leque-leque-leque

This week went by way fast, time is flyin.

I don't know if anybody reading this has heard, but Honduras made the national news apparently haha, for the death of 4 people at a professional soccer game between the two biggest teams who are rivals and share the same city. Normally, you would think "wow, rival teams in the same city playing each other, this will be such a good game to see". Well turns out being in Honduras this is the most DANGEROUS mixtures: Motagua VS. Olimpia. (Im Motagua, although we are not permitted to attend any games, so no one worry). What happened is the players of Motagua arrived on a bus to the stadium, and the fans of Olimpia started to stone the bus and try and attack the players. This caused a massive riot, and the rest is history. Crazy sad story, but im all good!

This week I don't have much of stories to tell you guys. My last week in Siguatepeque and will be going to my new area tomorrow so that should be exciting! I got to take a ton of pics with some of my convert families and some of the member families that I have grown close with and love, including some of the youth as well. One of my convert families, which consists of a single mother and two of her kids, and 3 little toddlers, are the people in the photos. I love them to death, BUT  THEY ARE THE MOST DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILY IN THE WORLD when it comes to taking pictures. The older two kids didn't wanna show there face in the pictures, and wouldn't come to take the pictures and just hid, the younger kid was running around with my camera, im carrying a three year old in my arms, chasing the 6 year old, and then trying to convince the 12 year old and the 15 year old to come and take the dang picture. During the time I muttered out " por favor, yo nunca voy a tener hijos, ya no puedo aguantar!!" which you can translate if you're interested lol. We got the pics, it wasn't pretty, but I´m taking it as a win.

I had a close friend who is also a missionary send me an email and ask me what is one of the biggest lessons I've learned on the mission, and I responded to her in Spanish, so ill like to share it with y'all in Spanish too:

Una de las lecciones que había aprendido en mi tiempo de ser misionero estes ultimos 14 meses es como tenemos que confiar en la voluntad de Dios. Realmente, muchas veces hacemos planes en la vida (o la misión) y tenemos un idea en como debe pasar, y a veces no lo pasa. Decimos que tengamos "Fe", y lo predicamos pero la verdad nos falta un poquito cuando las cosas no se vayan en la vista de nuestras expectaciones. Yo he visto milagros, literalmente he visto cosas que no te puedo explicar. basicamente la leccion que he aprendido es que no hay coincidencias, y toda pasa por un proposito, por que si es la voluntad de Dios, todo es posible. Tenemos que olvidar nuestros planes y punto de vista por algo mayor, y dejar las malletas de nuestras vida atras.


Les quiero muchos locos!!
hasta luego
