Week 45 El Bosque

Chase continues to have a lot of activity going on with investigators each week.  His letters remain very upbeat and they include words that certainly must be part of the Mission lingo.....Pilas, animato etc


Hey Family,
Sorry for the email being a little late, the power went out today almost the whole day. So the power came back on just about a couple hours ago. Also mom relax we are fine and there are no prisoners that we have encountered. No worries!! Dang I miss the cabin trip those trips were so much fun even though the leaders got mad at us for giving back massages lol.  Good times. I am so happy you are making some missionary efforts and there are some jovenes coming to the activities and church. Those activities are huge for the youth. I loved going to mutual every week. Well I hope Josey doesnt get to tall and Navy is going to look so different when I come back. Well Josey and Navy will look way different. 

Well this week was just a crazy week! First Elder Castro was still sick and we couldnt really do much, but we did do divisiones with the ZL´s so I could do somethings for the area and other missionaries. We didnt leave the house for a couple of days. I was so bored!! Also we had to marry Andres and baptize him and another young man named Carlos. So Castro wasnt doing to well but we had to run around Tegus to turn in paper work for the wedding. We married Andres and Francisca on Wednesday. That was an awesome day!! Then Andres still was smoking cigarettes and we told him he cannot smoke anymore or he cannot be baptized. Then Carlos is a young man that has 19 years and is studying to be a doctor. He is super pilas and has a testimony. He was in Olancho almost the whole week because he is from there and he studies here in Tegus. So we were waiting for him to get back on Friday so we can teach him a little more and do the interview. Well Friday came and we showed up to the house he lives in, but he wasnt there!!! We were a little worried but his brother told us he is coming right now from Olancho. Carlos arrived finally and we taught him and another Elder did the interview. It was cool because the Elder that interviewed Carlos, Elder Cac, said that when he asked the final question of the interview questions Carlos started to cry. Carlos said that he was waiting for this moment for a long time. How cool is that!!!! Then we ran to Andres´s house to have him interviewed also. We married Andres and Francisca on Wednesday. That was an awesome day!! Then we had to run around doing a bunch of interviews for other Elders because last Saturday we had a stake baptism or the whole zone had baptisms for Saturday. Well the Stake set up a huge activity for the baptisms of all the missionaries. It was such a big turn out because there were members and non members there. It was an awesome day. We did baptized Andres and Carlos!!! Even though we had a lot of problems and craziness going on in the area, we did have the baptisms. Totally worth the craziness lol. Oh yeah the whole zone ended up with 18 baptisms that Saturday!! The stake was super pleased with the turn out!! Well i dont have anything else but we are trying to find new investigators and this is the last week in the change. So we will see what comes next. I am pretty sure I am going to stay with Elder Castro but know one knows until next Tuesday in the night. Well thanks for the package and the love. Love you all and hope you are all safe. Thanks a ton!!

Con Mucho Amor,
Elder Hall
