Week 21

Alright so this week was a good one. My companion and I were both sick all this week so we actually didn't do much but what we did was really good. We have a solid baptism this week on the 5 and I'm super excited! It is a lady named Xiomara and has been talking with missionaries for literally years and never even went to church or accepted a baptismal date. Elder Reinoso and I tried to go to her house so many times but was never there and one day with Elder Chichia we didn't have anything to do so we tried her house again and she was finally there. We had been teaching her and she even started going to church, reading the Book of Mormon and has a testimony of her own! She told us that she wouldn't be getting baptized if she wasn't 100% committed to the gospel. It just was a super strong testimony builder that Heavenly Father really does prepare people at different rates and that there are specific people who are meant to help them in these moments. So I'm really excited to see this baptism. Elder Chichia will be doing it and I thought that I would be bummed to not be selected to baptize her but it really didn't bother me nor phase me. It should be a good day.
We have another baptism scheduled for the same day with the lady named Andrea but I get the feeling that it will fall again. She is such a bum! It´s super frustrating but we will just keep working with her until finally she gets dunked. Her daughter is special needs and blind so Andrea is always preoccupide(I've been speaking Spanish too long, is that how you spell preoccupied?) with the daughter and can never leave the house and when we teach, the daughter just freaks out and starts screaming and yelling and then Andrea just gets angry and starts shouting like an angry Honduran. But the times that we do get to teach are way cool and she understands and loves the church. Just a matter of how we can get her to feel the spirit with her daughter so she can listen to our messages more often.
One thing that was really cool this week is that we got a new church building! Elder Reinoso and I just went crazy and reactivated everyone and our old church building wasn't big enough so they had to build a new one! It is so big and pretty. I mean it is a place where you can really learn and feel the spirit! Its nothing like what we have in the states but it is still 1000x better than what we had. I am still not satisfied with it. The church people said that if we get 100 active members in our branch then they will build a real real church building like the ones in the states so I'm ready to get to work. Right now we have about 50 who are real active and then 20 who are active every other week. but in all we should have about 180 members who live in our area so I want to try to reactivate as many as possible! I WANT A REAL CHURCH BUILDING!
Another cool thing that Elder Chichia and i have been doing is Insanity. Its like P90X but I'm pretty sure I wont get any stronger from it just that my endurance will get better. This stuff is so hard but I love it! I feel so refreshed when I'm done and the videos are only about half an hour so they fit right into our morning schedule.
I'm still struggling with Chichia because he doesn't want to work but I'm doing my best to keep him going until he dies in like 9 days.
I love you all and miss you all.
