Week 71 - Tom and Jerry

Whats up peeps, this week was a good one and a fast one. Astros lost, but dont talk to me about that one..

Honduras is a beautiful place.

Spooky season is officially over.  Halloween is seen as satanic by most here, because the culture is very different and basically all of the little gospel churches (there's about 2 million different ones), say that it invites little kids to be demonized and yada yada, just there point of view was different.

On the night of Halloween I sent a message to all the missionaries saying " Hey do you guys wanna go trick or treating, my mom said I could be out until 11:45 tonight" It was a good one, trust me.

So we have a situation going on right now. Its the kind of situation you would call, "we have a rat that lives in our house". That kind. Every now and then my comp jumps and screams as it passes buy. The little sucker is hard to catch, and to be completely honest I'm not sure what I could even do if I had it cornered, because truth is im not exactly mentally prepared to squash a mouse with my foot. That being said, I also don't want a rat in the house. Me and my comp have recently been trying to capture the cat that always goes through our garbage and keep him in our house until the rat is dead. Pets aren't allowed in the mission, but the logic is that we are not keeping the cat, we are just using it for its rat killing skills. Pray and hope that we catch a cat and this whole thing turns out.

We married and baptized a family. Edgar and Nimfa, we got to go out of the mission to the court to see the wedding. There wasn't any room, so me and my comp didn't see anything, but still way happy all the same! There Baptism was great, and both cried after bearing their testimonies. A month back, Edgar had some doubts about his decision, and had felt like he had not received a clear answer. In that moment i promised him that the moment he puts his foot in the water, God would give his answer loud and clear, and he could be certain it was the right decision. In his testimony, he said "Well, there aren't words to describe the feelings I felt when I took that first step. I know this to be true." Little acts of faith go a long way.
