Week 87 T-minus 100 days

This was a tough week. but a great one at the same time

So I wasn't even expecting to have transfers so having to say goodbye to everyone was really tough because I wasn't mentally prepared. I wish I could have stayed another transfer in Danli where it is nice and cold and everything. But I got transfers and now I am here in the hottest place in all of Honduras. The thing is that the area really isn't bad at all. This is the only area that I have ever been in where there are actually real streets. like paved roads!!!! I didn't know that they excited!! My area is right there on the beach too so we area always passing by and it is really pretty. the only thing is that it is like another level of HOT. it is the hottest place in all of Honduras.  And I testify that it is true. After like 4 days, I am already more Brown. People ask if I am from Guatemala now because I am not a gringo anymore. Not true but it could happen.

I am feeling really stressed though. It is so hot that I cant sleep. We have fans but they just blow hot air. So I don't get cooled off. because I cant sleep it makes it really hard to want to work. And my new companion is a beast at working. He can do about 58 hours of work in the 48 hours that the week gives to us. So I am working like a dog, in the hot hot hot hot sun, and I cant sleep. And our investigators live sooooo far away so to visit them, we have to go and walk for like 20 minutes to visit them. I just feel exhausted in this area. And our pday suuuucckkss! We just watch a Disney movie in our church then my comp was like, "Alright, everyone leave" and made them leave!!! So it's just me and him again like this whole week. And I love him. Honestly he is probably one of my most fun companion to talk to. He and I get along perfectly! It's just frustrating how tired I am all of the time. I'm just exhausted.

But lets talk about the blessings that we have received from the crazy amount of work that we have done.

We found a less active family with a 10 year old daughter who hasn't gotten baptized.

We found a family that are actually married. I know I know I know, I didn't think that a married couple existed either but they have proven me wrong haha and they are Golden!! They have some great questions and are even parents of kids who can get married too!

We are visiting a guy who has been an investigator for 2 years and we can see him progressing.

So yeah, through this sacrifice and exhaustion, are coming very great things!

Pray for me. just so that I can maybe sleep during the week so that I'm not as tired.

I love you all
