Week 88 - Coke & Soccer

Hey fam, whats good. This week I don't have a lot to write about because I wasn't in my area almost the entire week! Writing these things are tough to think about sometimes, but i do what I can.

So my comp is finishing up his mish next Monday, so today instead of doing the norm for P-Day, we took a 2 hour bus to another city called Comayagua, which is an awesome little city in the middle of the country, and let me tell ya, IT'S HOT. Dry hot, but basically a desert. We came here because its where my comp started his missions he wanted to see some people and a few of his converts from the beginning of his mission, so we came on up here. We also have to finish up writing early to have a little bit of extra time to go visit so this ones gonna be short and sweet!

One of the cool things that happened this week was on Saturday there was a Young Men's activity where they invited a ton of nonmembers to play soccer and had a mini tournament of 4 vs 4. They were short games and To try and get a few younger dudes to come to church I made a bet that if they win, I would buy them a coke and we could chat and share a message, and if we win, I would buy them a coke, we would share something, and they would come to church the next day ;). Guess who won?? Eric and Douglas 15 and 16, both showed up to church. I told them  the deal was they only had to come to the first hour, and kept to my word, but to my surprise they told me they wanted to stay for the second hour. The youth Sunday school teacher wasn't there, so My comp and I took control of the class and took advantage of the time to share about the book of Mormon and explain it very simply. We also made the class a lot more fun I think. I went and talked to them after, and they told me they wanted to come back next week and I didn't even invite them. Heavenly Fathers just throwing people our way :) Love this work!

That's all folks,
