16 June 2014



Hello family!

This week we saw a little bit of success with service. We talked to a family and realized that they were getting ready to move into a house in our area. We went back Saturday to help them move in. They don't have a lot of stuff, so there wasn't much in the way of heavy lifting, but we did help them clean and organize. We invited them to come to church. They came--a little late--but the point is they came. They seem to be receptive to letting us visit them. We still haven't had a sit down lesson, but hopefully we'll be able to soon! 

This week was a slow week for being able to teach. But Hna Hill and I had a reality check that being sad about only teaching 23 times is just because of the mission we are in. I am sure there are many, many missions where 23 lessons would mark a fruitful week. So we are trying to be grateful for what we have, like the fact that after many dry weeks, we had a family (father, mother, 10-year-old son, and baby) come to church! Of course, we will have to help them see the importance of getting married, but that is just how it goes. 

This week we are going to try to work more with members to find and teach. We did some thinking and talking, and we think that perhaps this week was so challenging because we were trying to do it on our own. Hopefully working with members will help our members to strengthen their testimonies and help our investigators to progress. We can find people who will let us in once and listen to us. But being able to go back is hard, and getting them to keep commitments is even harder. 

But still, the same work continues. We are in rainy season now. (It seems that this part of Honduras has two rainy seasons--one in early summer and another in ''fall'' and early ''winter.'') But in reality Honduras only has summer with some cool snaps.

I love you all and hope you have a great week. Enjoy the pictures!

Love,

Sister Davis
